    Years ago in Quebec, it was common practice to spray our cars with fuel oil every winter. We'd do the underside and the outside up to the windows. Come spring you would spend an entire saturday washing it off, but it worked pretty well.

    Maybe I'm a little thick in other places than around my stomach, but, "fuel oil" isn't that diesel, or up there, a thin form of low temp diesel. I can somewhat understand using it under the car, but outside up to the windows? Issues abound on smell, trim longevity--what am I missing?

    But it's too cold if you go further north and it doesn't get cold enough if you go further south.
