I know there are a million opinions on products, but I have been detailing my cars myself for many years and I get a great shine with it on all my vehicles. ...and I am always out there with a polishing cloth for fun.

I'm not a coatings guy. Adam's Car Wash Shampoo is all I've ever used. You guys are looking good with that Ceramic, though.

I agree...I am not a coatings guy either. The detailers used all Adams products...shampoos, clay bar compound and polish. I bought this 2021 convertible back in November and there were some really fine scratches I needed removed. Gotta be perfect. It came out really nice.

[QUOTE=Korbek;12032413]Whelp finally got her home. I left Ocala, FL at 830am eastern. Pulled into my driveway in TX at 2:15am Central, almost an 18 hour drive due to waiting out that tornado warning for 2 hours and an hour detour due to I12 closure.

Promptly took all the tape off. Sadly after 18 hours, over half of it in direct sun, it left some adhesive. Luckily some ultra light polishing compound on a detailing cloth did the trick. 2 hours later shes de-taped, washed, de-residued, and ready to drop off at the PPF & tint shop in about 4 hours.

Guess I wont be sleeping till this evening unless I can manage a nap since I'm off work today. I'm gettin too old for this 24-36 hours awake nonsense lol. Home sweet home:

Looks awesome. I got same color but pop top. Congratulations and enjoy

CarPro products are exceptional as well. Reset super intense creamy foam no drag for wash and Reload for a qwik shine heading to the show glow!

Had it trucked in from Texas 1st week of January. Bad weather hit here in Connecticut and have not been able to drive it, not even once. Sure is nice to own one though!

Finally finished up the 60k maintenance with the spark plugs. Honestly so much space in there, didn’t need to remove anything besides the engine cover.




With the wheels cleaned and ceramic coated she’s probably cleaner than she’s ever been!

My word, CJS, you could make medical history by the first death from "anticipation". Try to take care.

Good to hear about the plugs, got this coming up in another 10k miles. The last 2 plugs in the rear on my Masi will make a preacher cuss!
