Winter is tough on vehicles. Excessive chilly lowers tire stress and saps power from the battery. Oil thickens up, and antifreeze may freeze. Then there’s the snow, ice, and slush, along with sand and salt used to deal with roads. That is why some folks drive winter beaters. However whereas most individuals’s winter automobile is a Subaru or some SUV, one hero drives a 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT S throughout the frozen panorama.
Tasked with cleansing it, the Element Geek calls it “the world’s most costly winter beater.” That is likely to be a stretch since we’re speaking a few Mercedes-AMG GT S and never a $3,000 rust bucket. However contemplating most house owners cover their supercars underneath a canopy in a climate-controlled storage, there’s one thing admirable about an individual who drives their supercar year-round.
The black exterior is caked in grime. Inside, the crimson leather-based inside is surprisingly clear, aside from some trash and what appears to be like like canine hair. Black silt swimming pools on the ground because the Element Geek begins by rinsing the physique off. He blasts the door jams earlier than going to work on the wheels, scrubbing the edges and tires. Subsequent, he covers the entire automobile in cleaning soap and makes use of a element brush on the outside trim and {hardware}.
Then it is on to the inside, beginning with the ground mats, adopted by vacuuming the carpets. A smooth element brush removes filth and dirt from trim and hard-to-reach areas. Lastly, the Element Geek cleans and circumstances the leather-based upholstery earlier than wiping all the pieces down.
One factor this Mercedes-AMG GT has going for it’s a ceramic coating that protects the paint and makes it simpler to clean. Nonetheless, it is nonetheless a good suggestion to use a silica spray sealant each 4 to 6 weeks to maximise the paint’s safety and prolong the lifetime of the ceramic coating.
The tip result’s a automobile that appears prefer it’s by no means seen snow or any inclement climate. It is not fairly as dramatic of a change because the deserted Pontiac G6 or a BMW M Roadster flooded by Hurricane Ian, however the distinction is superb.
