Hey, you guys in the Frozen North...

Being from north of the border, Id go with a good rub with armor-all

Start putting an oily product on like Pam, Vaseline, WD 40 etc and you're going to get it on your clothes as you get in and out and that will only cause you more trouble when your wife has to send everything out for dry cleaning.

 

Weather stripping? What weather stripping? p

I miss having a late '60s A-body, door rubber didn't cost over $500.

 

Hey there Gord - we're doing the best we are, here in the Capital city ! :laugh: LOL
Seasons Greetings to you and yours, and hope all goes well in 2011 !! :beer
Better not wait too long, the Hemmings Classic Car, December issue will soon be all gone, just like 2010 ! :TU:
(. . . apologies for jacking this slippery thread ! :grin: )

 

. . . and don't forget to coat that discharge chute on the snowblower too !! :TU:

 

I use the gm weatherstrip lube, works good. Plus instead of hot water if something gets stuck, you can use alcohol (99% pure, not the premixed stuff which is 50% water) to melt the ice. it won't hurt paint (it will take your protectant off though).

The pam on the snow shovel I've never heard of before, have to try that out!

 

Anything 99% is for drinking (the clear stuff!) Then you don't care about the snow anymore. :laugh:

 

:idea2:Just, make sure it's Ethanol. And NOT, Methanol!:Smarty:

 

i use spray silicone yearly on my weatherstripping on all our cars.
pam does work on snow shovels.

 

The armorall works good and has for years. I do it to all my rides. the snow shovel I have never try'd . My grandfather always said to use bacon grease.The only problem was the dog would always eat the shovel.:grin:

 

If it's methyl hydrate, he'll never have to worry about ever seeing the snow again, or the car for that matter...

Quick tip on a related topic; - on pure very cheap domestic Russian vodka knock in a bit of pepper, and don't drink the heel as it is pure methyl hydrate and make you blind.

But, back to the weatherstrip problem; - vaseline works best, never tried the Pam...we usually don't get freezing rain or sticky wet snow, just acres of cold dry stuff.

 

for sure, for sure

Pepper, huh? I'll keep that in mind. I usually only have Smirnoff vodka. I keep it in the freezer. Right, next to the Crown Royal.:Brow:

Here, in Birmingham, I remember having enough snow to shovel, three times only;
April 1988
March 1992
March 1993
You can't believe it, here in Alabama, March 1993; We got 24" inches of snow. It was a lightning and thunderstorm, with snow. The lightning through the snow was green. The snowflakes were 3" wide. And, nobody with a snow shovel in the whole state.
