I tell people I'd rather run between air conditioned buildings in the summer than heated buildings in the winter.You could be sitting under a palm tree in the winter down here but when the summer comes you’ll be under an umbrella well at least a strong one it rains a lot in the summer in Florida and brutally hot but it still beats the snow I lived in New York for 46 years
Get the Lamin-X film for the fogs, super cheap and helps prevent those type of incidents and if your not into colors they have clear as well. Easy install too.Same here. My si only has 5,000 miles on it and I already had to replace my drivers side fog light because it was shattered by either salt or a cinder. I was so pissed.
I usually have a routine of washing it at least every 2 weeks even in winter and its less for keeping it clean and more to get that harsh salt substance and build up off as that definitely can corrode things over time.Disgusting.
The warmer it gets the more wet this salt on the car will be. Even at moderately freezing temperatures it can become wet from humid air and cause quite rapid corrosion.
So it should be rinsed thoroughly once it's washed, because just superficial rinsing will only provide water for faster corrosion in all crevices..
Already got the yellow ones, just gotta put them onGet the Lamin-X film for the fogs, super cheap and helps prevent those type of incidents and if your not into colors they have clear as well. Easy install too.
Got the yellows too and in winter and poor conditions I find the yellow contrast definitely helps a bit with visibility. After I coupled with LED fog light bulbs the light output as well is ridiculous couldn't be happier.Already got the yellow ones, just gotta put them on
Nice I’m glad to hear it. Maybe I’ll put them on tomorrowGot the yellows too and in winter and poor conditions I find the yellow contrast definitely helps a bit with visibility. After I coupled with LED fog light bulbs the light output as well is ridiculous couldn't be happier.
The only problem with Florida is tires and batteries don’t last long the summer it rains two or three times a day and lovebugs but with that said it’s great down here and I don’t miss New YorkIf it stays so cold that salt won't even melt the snow then it's a great time for a car wash as long as you have a warm place to let it dry. My car stayed car wash fresh for almost a month as the temperature stayed around -25. No wet roads and frozen body panels means nothing will stick to your car. Unfortunately that means tires have a tough time sticking to the road. All that said I don't like winter at all, summer forever!
