I had my car undercoated about 2 weeks ago. less than 5 days before our actual permanent snowfall began. i have on all season tires with a good amount of tread on them. i have my block heater plugged in when i'm at work but not at home (my parents say it's a waste of electricity and tell me to just warm-up the car earlier). i also have a mini heater that keeps the interior warm when i have the block heater plugged in too. i wash the car including the underbody and wheel wells every 5 days or so.

but what else can i do to keep the celica well maintained for the snowy and slippery streets? any suggestions?


here are some pics of the undercoat:

krown is more rust inhibiting, but u can get them to do undercoating too, but they r expensive


Ya krown in more expensive, but I had them do myne last winter and i was impressed. They coat everything. They did under the entire car, wheel wells, everything under the hood, like firewall and stuff, inside my doors and rear seat panels, even the washer nozzles biggrin.gif. Id say it’s worth the $100 CND, didn’t find any signs of rust at all this spring. Oh and they also wash your car after tongue.gif

This winter though i wont need to worry about salt and snow, i picked up a beater for that.
