Default Moving to Orange County New York and was wondering about car care....

I don't think I will have a garage and I'm moving from Cali. Are there serious hail storms and what should I look out for in regards to snow and the cars finish. What do you all do to care for your care during the winter? Any help is appreciated.

Default Winters are not too bad really. I do a full detail before the first snowfall,

many trips to the power washer to hose off some of the salt during the winter, and a full detail after.
If you are really concerned, definately think about a clear bra or a front end mask to use as the gravel they put on the roads really chips the hood and bumper. Other than that, no real issues.

Default you could get a car cover?

I leave mine out year round.


It does take its toll, but not too bad if you care for it (more than I do, anyway)


Welcome....

Thanks, it doesn't sound as bad as I thought.
