Also. Washed the car for the first time the other day.

I noticed there's a couple sections that have what I could best describe as some kind of... overspray(?) or something on it. It didn't come off in the wash, but would with some polush. Here's a close up pic blown up:

Like, you can't notice it if you're more than a few inches away from the car. But you can also feel it, the paint doesn't feel like glass. I ordered a Rag Company clay towel, so weather providing, will go over the car with that on Friday and see if it makes a difference.

Buy this , spray after you wash the car, 2-3 minutes later once your car is bleeding purple rinse off with a pressure washer. If you have a shaded are do a side of the car at a time, if not do it in sections. THEN, clay the car with the clay towel. You don't want to pull little specs of rust on the towel and scrub your paint with them.

I love this option actually.....where did you get them?

From a company called iND.

Luckily, the list of things I want to do to this car (minus wheels and tires) tops out at like $3000 or so.

Link u foam cannon. And what soap?

Foam cannon is the MTM Hydro. Gun is a Zhong Zhong knockoff of the fancy Mosmatic. Pressure washer is the Active VE52. And soap is just some CG Snowfoam I've been running through.

Thanks! Will give that a whirl.

Luckily at this time of year, my driveway I fully covered in shade for the majority of the day.

100% hit it with the decontaminate before potentially marring it.

They're painted amber marker deletes.

Will replace those ugly things.

My kingdom for the 7.5 amber reflectors to be this easy to delete... Mk8 definitely has it beat in that department.

When you run out of that and finally ceramic coat the R, see if you can find this and give it a try. This has been my favorite for the last 2 years. It doesn't have any waxes or sealers that will change the characteristics of your coating, it also works great on non-coated cars.

Think I'm picking up a set of 19" Enkei Raijin's tomorrow. Black, with DWS06+'s on them. 6 months on the entire setup. They accepted my low-ish offer. Since I'm happy with the wheels on the car, I really don't want to be spending money on wheels\tires right now, but I need to unfortunately. And Raijin's are far from my favorite style of wheel.

The good news for folks in the Great Boston Metropolitan Area, is we're now guaranteed to have a mild winter. Me going "I can't use summer's through a New England winter" means we won't see a single flake of snow. If I said "Summers will be fine, winters have been mild!", we'd get fucked by blizzard after blizzard. You're welcome.

The key is to have someone send a bunch of unhinged messages with insulting low ball offers. That way when your well put together message with a still low ball offer comes in, they're more likely to take it.
