Well, the nice days in Cincinnati, Ohio are numbered, so I wanted to get one of our cars ready for winter. Here was my process...

Washed car with Griots Garage Brilliant Finish Car Wash.
2 Bucket Method w/ grit guards.

Cleaned wheels with GG Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner.

Dried off with The Original California Jelly Water Blade, and GG PFM Micro fiber towels.
Used Shop Vac to blow off excessive water.

Used GG Clay Bar and GG Speedshine to get rid of left over paint contaminant's.

Applied GG One Step Paint Sealant, and let Sealant cure for about 24 hours. Topped off car with Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Wax using my GG-6 with 5.5 Red Pad, wiping with GG PFM towels.

Polished headlamps with Megs PlastX Cleaner & Polish. Then applied Megs Gold Class Carnauba wax to headlamps and glass.

Exterior trim was wiped on, using Megs Ultimate Black. (Not to fond of this stuff, but this is all I had).

Wheels were coated with Megs Gold Class Carnauba Wax.

Tires were coated with Black Magic Tire Wet Spray. (Not a big fan of this but hey my kid's got me a bottle of this for Fathers Day).

End Result...
 
I can't even imagine prepping for winter. It was 90 in Tampa today and it was all I could to to wash my Rogue and wipe it down with BF Caranuaba Spray Wax and I swat my butt off. It's thundering right now and the rain is starting up.

Nice work on your ride.

Rub the 90 degree weather in. Seems like the older I get to worse the winters are.

Your time and effort really shows up in the pictures. The detailing days are also numbered in PA. But my Xterra is also ready for whatever winter brings. The Escape really looks great and I love the color. One question, how did you find the GG BF car wash soap?

Second week in a row they had to evacuate our stadium during the NFL game for lightning. It's going off here right now LOL.
