    Anything I need to do, aside from giving my car a good ol' scrub-down (wash, clay bar, wax, etc.)?

    Winter? Atlanta?

    But seriously, we don't have to deal with the snow/salt issue like people up north do.

    If you are looking for some (used) tires, I think I am going to have an old 16" set coming to me with some wheels I am picking up today.

    I just meant with the cold weather and whatnot. Mostly worried about my paint.

    My tires are brand new ;D

    1 step to get ready for winter.

    Get in car and drive.

    Shouldn't have any paint problems.

    yeah, but at this point I need a wash, wash, clay bar, wash, wax, etc.

    My car is filthy, and as some of you know was abused before I got it.

    Clay bar works, but it takes a while, wax can't hurt either.

    Tire pressure is the biggest change.

    Otherwise, good time to check over all your fluids and if needed change them out.

    Remember, its good practice to have coolant swapped once a year, and make sure to use SUBARU Coolant. Your engine does not need the Conditioner tho. Go ahead and replace the thermostat and gasket as well.

    Preventative maintenance goes a long way.
