We got about 8" of snow with drifts going as deep as 2'

There are a lot of drifts so it averages out to about 14" I suppose.

I parked my stang in the garage and the damn drifts piled up against it! lol

Here in nc we got a nice warm day(its 70, tomorrow will be 44) so after work I am going to pull out the meguiars, wash, spray detailing spray, shine tires, and clean interior....all on my gfs car.

My car will not be getting fully detailed until I get new rims and tires.

Meguiars Scratch X 2.0 will hide it pretty well.

The proper way to treat scratches is wax stripping (Dish soap) and buffing and sealing and waxing, in so many words.

There are a lot of good vids on youtube.

To get tree sap off you can use some of the bug/tar/grime removers out there but I just use a claybar.
