I wash my wheels first then discard that water in the bucket. Rinse the bucket thoroughly then get fresh soap and water. Keeps the road grime and sand from being ground into your paint from your filthy wheels.

Keep your gas tank at least half full at all times. Cold weather causes condensation in the system, which can lead to fuel-line freeze-up and no-start conditions. Adding gasoline antifreeze every three to four fill-ups will also keep condensation under control.

Regular application of a good rubber protectant on all the seals and exterior plastic saves big $$ down the road. Its much cheaper and less labor to protect parts from the elements than to replace. Those window and door seals get pricey.

If you do start your car during the winter months, make sure it gets up to working temperature before turning off the engine to burn off any moisture in the system. Make sure when the car is running that it is in a WELL ventilated area. Don't forget to take out any materials that were installed to discourage rodent's or other animals to enter sensitive areas.

An easy way to remove bird droppings is to take a water soaked paper towel and let it sit on the affected area for 10-15 minutes. The bird droppings should come off very easily. Do not scrub or use any force. You can follow up with some quick detailer after the dropping are removed.
Congrats to our randomly selected winners: @981.GT4, @Plum, @Randy V! All of your tips were great and stay tuned for next month's contest for a chance to win more prizes.
