thanks man---been a rough pill to swallow but i guess its my penace for no one getting hurt...are you saying you think i should have a decent TL value?

i was lucky enough to find a dealer late in 2020 that had one on the lot during covid,,,gave me all incentives plus 0% so i owe 36k so im guessing at best i walk away with like 10-12 k

i havent received that yet. they told me it takes a while since the car is hard to get a fmv for? im guessing around 49k? based on trade in value plus a little? he told me the TL value would be basically the value the car would sell for on a car lot prior to the accident? im so confused by...

Hey everyone, this comes with embarrassment to even post/ask for help….as well as sadness. I won’t get into how it happened but it did. Long story short, the car is in perfect shape, 6,000 miles, minus the obvious damage. My insurance company has an estimate at 24k right now but telling me “no...

The fire up. I was guessing that was something associated with cold start vs warm but also didn’t want to overlook something

I don’t really know how to explain this but I’ve noticed when starting my car soon after it’s been shut down (ex. Filling up the tank and then restarting) it doesn’t seem to fire up like it does after it being shut down for enough time for the car to cool down. I never really had a vehicle I...

Thanks- this sounds exactly like my problem. So maybe before replacing anything take it back to the alignment shop re-align the car with the suspension loaded to see if that could solve it?

i got the steeda progressive sport springs installed on my '19 bullitt by a reputable custom shop in my area. i trust the work, but i dont necessarily know if it's the spring or the installation or just unknowing of a lowered vehicle but i have like a slight creak coming from the rear. not all...

So I made the “merlins magic elixir” would you say that’s more of a QD or could I use as a waterless wash? I saw online 2oz of ech2o and remainder in a 32 oz bottle serves as a waterless wash. That’s pretty similar to the elixir with the addition of reload. Should I have two different bottles...

I’m just doing too much I guess...I wash with reset once a week. Probably drive it only 50-100 miles a week. I have car pros ech20 so maybe I just need to be confident that that stuff won’t scratch my car if I do like a rinseless wash. Just super paranoid haha

So quick update- car looks phenomenal but I have a question on the “self cleaning properties”. I was wondering if everyone’s car gets pretty dirty. I have two coats of 3.0 UK but I have enough for one last one. If I want to apply it, would you just suggest a clay and iron remover and then apply...

Ok so I don’t know if I messed up,...I brought it out in the sun and I’m seeing slight streaks. Not sure if it’s from the ceramic or reload. I’ve read somewhere that reload could do this. The streaks are pretty difficult to get off. Would a surface prep wipe down be ok or could I damage the...

I did not do the wheels. I have about 1/4 bottle left of a 30mL kit. I plan on doing the wheels maybe over winter. Anyone have an issue with PPF not adhering after coating? I think I screwed up as my guy told me it’s tough for it to stick after a ceramic coating has been applied. I only planned...

Thanks everyone for the tips and tricks. It’s definitely a process but as long as you do things in order and take your time. It’s not that hard. I drug it out over 4 days so no crazy labor. Camera was a little dirty. The haze killed the shine

Well that’s a wrap....2nd coat of 3.0 today, waited around an hour and reloaded. Now I guess wait 12 hours and take it in the sun to see how good (or bad) my job is?? haha

Ok guys- one coat down! Very easy, overly cautious. Took more time probably due to being deliberate but this stuff looks great. Coat #2 going on tomorrow then waiting 24 hours for reload.

Car is now all polished and ready for eraser and then ceramic. do u polish the plastic black plate on the trunk? I was worried about doing that. Hand polish then eraser and ceramic? I plan on getting adding PPF to that area

Thank you! So far I am thru the wash, ironx, clay, eraser and half of the car is polished. And we didn’t even get to the ceramic!

About to start your process tonight!!.I just received all of my carpros products today but the only thing I didn’t follow was your polish. I have chemical guys v38 finishing polish that has done extremely well with my cars in the past my question is, if you can’t get it done all in one day, is...

So the other question is it seems like the process may take a few days, especially if you’re going to apply 2 coats of ceramic like I intend to. My garage is fairly clean, but is there something you can wipe the car with to remove any dust particles that may land on the car between say, polish...
