Yeah I'm 99% going to remove it, probably should just do it so it's easy since it's fresh on there.

Edit: removed lol

I wish I had screen shot this the other day. An PPF installer here in Fla that actually said on their page that they did not recommend wrapping Hoods or Roofs. Saw a post on FB by a past installer moaning about baked on wrap. Said it was expensive and hard to get off and he hoped he never had to do it again.

I believe it. I'd never do it if I wasn't able to garage the car at home and at work, I'm sure the Florida sun in consistent long doses does wrap (and even ppf for that matter) zero favors for longevity and ease of removal.

Gave it a foam cannon wash today using Adams mega foam for the first time ever, wow it was a lot of foam. Very easy wash with just a pre-rinse, foam, touch wash with a couple of mitts, a final rinse, and towel dry with Opti-coat Hyper Seal as a drying aid.

Next time I'm going to try an alkaline foaming touch less wash using Carpro Lift and a leaf blower and see how clean it'll get with a completely touch free wash.

I've been trying to find a photographer to do this but seems nobody in my area has a portfolio they can showcase for me to be able to decide on one. Don't really want to be someone's first 😂

But that Thug *** Lincoln is up front.
Eff Tint World to the hilt. I spoke TWICE with them here in Melbourne trying to get a spot for 3 LC's to park together. Might as well be asking them for the Hope diamond. Oh yeah, we can do that. Ugh no you can't, you're incapable.
I stayed long enough for a glance at most, look overs for a few then got the hell out.
This clown store had a friggen White Tesla, HOOD UP on the front row.
Car show my ***.

I'm only kidding. This was a small car show I stopped by.
Looking forward to Festivals of Speed next weekend. That was an impressive show last year. Butler Tire asked me for my car but I never followed up.

Bruce - I feel your pain. Last Summer, I showed up for the monthly Cars + Coffee event here in Raleigh specifically targeted to showcase Japanese Cars and they told me they didn't have room for my new 2023 LC convertible in the main display area (but the venue was filled with souped-up Toyota Celica street-rods, modified Honda Civics, Accords, Subaru's and other crap that looked like they were owned by high-school kids). My wife and I drove through the crowd and went back home, and we haven't gone back. I guess Groucho Marx was right when he said, "any club that would have me as a member, I probably don't want to be a member of that club!"
