Winter driving ,Rot protection
Martin S.:
Sometimes it’s a curse owning a nice VW.
I drove my old bus as a daily year round in all weather and even winter cross country for 15 years straight before I found a mint low mileage original shiny paint 71 which I have now.
But I miss the days of driving the old bus. I had snow tires for it and could drive anywhere.
The 71 now sits in the cold garage under a car cover. Boring.

That's it in 1 word. Boring.

I know how you feel from both sides, I’ve just spent about a year going through my beetle, new frame head ect doing a lot of rust repairs and I said, I’ll never drive it in the wet again....
But the more I think about, in the uk, that’s almost every day lol
At the end of the day, these things can be repaired and replaced and unless you enjoy looking at it more than driving it.....
The bits to look after are the OG paint bits for you, so make sure they are well sealed with a good wax on the outside and cleaned, dried then under sealed on the under side. Then just give it a good wash after salty periods and enjoy it!
Collinite make good waxes that last a long time and give great beading.... :)
Garrick Clark:
I 'm gunna look into that liquid wax type product. It obviously needs warming up 1st or it won't spray properly. I don't no the name of it. I'll look for a collinite/dimitroll demo on YouTube.

For each dream car you have, find another one, close - same colour and year, a doppelgänger if you will.
Drive the crap out of it ;D
