So does anyone have a set of tasks they do when the springtime rolls around? My S is my daily driver, so once it warms up I want to do a detailed cleaning to get the winter off....

Here is what I was thinking:

-Wash
-Switch tires to summer tires
-While tires off, wash wheel well
-303 the top
-zaino the entire car/engine bay
-clean engine bay, scrub areas that need it more
-clean door jams and joints
-change oil
-put up on jacks and scrub areas under the car (exhaust, etc)
-vaccume all over
-leather cleaner/conditioner


what else am I missing?

 

Remove wheels and scrub plastic wheel liners

 

Paint(repaint) brake calipers.

 

303 the Vinal (dash, etc.)

Change the diff fluid and tranny fluid while it's up.

Inspect the brakes while the wheels are off, bleeding the system couldn't hurt any.

Doublecheck the tire pressures in your summer tires.

Change the engine's air filter and the cabin air filter.

Urmil had a good idea for cleaning the undercarriage. Use an oscolating sprinkler under the car.

 

I never thought of useing a sprinkler, thats a pretty good idea....

At that time I'm also approaching 10,000 miles, so I'm thinking of making the synthetic oil jump....

 

Oil Change / Road Trip -------------> Visit Canada and see if it is more than a big empty void.........

 

what is this.... ca na da you speak of?

 

You forgot to buy a hot girl to ride shotgun with you when the weather improves.

 

 

dude, don't talk about the space between your ears like that!!!
