I would be happy with a garage let alone a carcoon. And I have cleaned mine twice through the cold weather the moment an above freezing spell comes along it gets cleaned and under body sprayed to remove as much salt as possible. :sick:

I clay bar'd and Zaino'd mine in early November and unless there's a few dry days I'll only jet hose the car apart from handwashing glass and alloys. She's garaged all the time she's not driven and I only average about 15 miles a week in the winter and often zero miles.
Those with diamond-cut Monza's had better take extra care over wheel washing - The road salts etc love to start off the white worm and once it starts it's unstoppable without refurbishment.

Exactly why all mine came off end of last week for a front and back wash and another coat of poor boys sealant, thats two coats in 3 months. Although they are already in need of a re-furb as I bought them pre-whitewormed.
