You gotta change the side markers so they match the snow

You can get a really good hand wash down locally here at Auto Image. Don't try to take it through the automated wash as you will have problems with the ground clearance and with the width on the wheels. Not to mention the horror of all the dirt trapped in those brushes.

Does it really work well enough you can't see the chip after the repair?

Depends on how close you are. The entire driver's side of my car was road rashed. You'd only notice it if you were looking for it after a couple of hours doing touch-ups. The chips indents are still there but the paint does camouflage them well.

It's amazing how much fun it is driving a C4S in the snow. In particular if you find yourself next to a muscle car at a stop light.

Yesterday was an awesome day to drive across the country. Left the Crystal Lake area around 5 AM (it was painful!). Made it to Hamilton, GA in about 12.5 hours including stops. My father kind of looked at me funny when I arrived. I told him to not do the math.....it's just better that way.
It was easy going once the trucks stopped dropping chunks of ice on the road.
