Is it worth it to wax and buff your car before winter?

Found a guy in my area who will detail the car inside and outside for $250 I have alpine white on my f10 and have swirls everywhere. Just wondering if it is worth getting it detailed before the winter? I'm in NYC so we get snow every year

it's not a bad idea to at the least get a nice sealant on the car prior to the winter.

maybe a wash/clay/sealant.

looks like you are in Brooklyn, hit us up if you don't mind coming over the GWB.

to have the swirls removed you will be looking at a 1 step polish or a paint correction.

Use a sealant like Sonax Polymer Net Shield it will last 3- 6 months.

Thanks for response. I have no problem going over that way if the price is right
