Gritter's!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guppy]

O how i hate them!

just thinking about the affect that it's having on my freshly waxed paintwork?

am i going to have to re-wax it once i give it a wash or will the wax act as a barrier against it?

 

[MRBILLYUK]

You won't have to rewax it cos of the grit , waxing only helps to protect against the elements , it's not a physical barrier .

I did over 350 miles of motorway miles yesterday, and on the way home i had to overtake 5 of the bloody things.

I hate them as well but id rather a couple stone chips than banging the car into a ditch as a result of sheet ice.

 

[Fletcher]

^^^me too.

Pulled of the motorway and rejoined a junction down before to avoid them. Also pulled off the main road into a side street again to avoid one coming the other way.

Hate the stone chips they cause, understand why we have them though.

Amateur Justine - leave the m/way but rejoin at the same junction use the exit and entry slips to do the pass much more fun and challenging!

loving the sarcasm to be honest

knowone has actualy awnsered my question about re-waxing anyway?!

if the salt is left on the car for a phew days is it going to eat into the wax?

yes/no awnser would be fine :rasp:

Depends on the wax - anything that is not known for it's durability will not fair well at this time of year.

I thought i did

No you won't have to rewax it . Even with the less durable waxes it should be ok as you say it is freshly waxed . At this time of year alot of people like to have already built up a few layers prior to the bad weather setting in .

I often work nights & driving home at 06:00 I seem to be hitting the prime gritting time where I live. I hate it when you meet one coming the other way round a bend. No warning then it's like AAaAaAAargh! NoOoOo!
Then inspect for chips the next morning
