I have a new white Honda Ridgeline and took last week off to work on it as well as knocking out some other projects.

I already clayed, cleaned, polished and applied an LSP. Used #20 and hope to get another coat on tomorrow.

So my prep work is great. The thing is gorgeous and is underway for great protection.

I will likely top the #20 with #21 here in a couple weeks, as 2hotford recommeded this for white paint. Plus the #21 seems to be a bit less maintenance asopposed to the NXT so I think that will be helpful in the colder months. Hope so anyway

one thing that I have found with waxing a vehicle in cold temperatures is that it is harder to get off and takes some serious buffing effort to get the finish nice and clear without a haze because the moisture really makes it harder to do the job and not have a sort of "fog" left on the vehicle surface. So just really wipe numerous times when taking off the wax to make sure the finish is clear and smooth.

Will do. Have ample supply of Supershine MFs, Ultimate Wipes and Super Plush Terrys as well as MF Bonnets for the DAs

I live in Southern CA, and the only problem in the winter is rain, a bit of dew, and snd it can get 30 to 40 degreese at night. However, it only frosts a few times a year.

What I am going to do this year is wash outside even if raining, then pull the car into the garage.

I will just leave the door open into the house to heat the garage and keep the car nice and warm.
