Full detail and good hard wax to protect the work from the salt and road crap, all the usual coolant and antifreeze and screen wash - don't forget screen wash! Gummipfledge all window seals and move the window up and down into the gap to work it in there to stop the Windows freezing to the seals. Done all mine, topped up the wax coat today - through winter plan on topping up the wax coat after every wash with a spray wax to keep a layer there.

I have used Fusso the past 2 years for the winter and you cant seem to go wrong with it and on top use a Hydrophobe for the windows.
