Re: Coronavirus creations
I'm going to hazard a guess and say another shed.

more shed
....I am *very* interested in the Despecialized Editions
I have always been curious
I'm super late to this thread because I was away for a while. I don't really have a reason, life just was life and it lifed all over me.
Here is my pandemic creation. Frederick Matthew Sprague born 9:35am on October 26th, 2020. So little sleep...
Thanks. With the ceramic coat, I can give it a wash with my foam cannon once every or every other week for almost no effort and the car looks brilliant again. And it should stay that way for the next 3 to 5 years since I garage the car. Ceramic coating is so, so much effort but it's all front loaded. No need to wax for 3 to 5 years? Yeah, totally worth it when you do it yourself.
Having someone do it for you, then you have to decide what the cost-benefit is because you're looking at a few thousand dollars.
Looks like I'll be helping another friend soon. Helping is way better because I don't have to physically do all the work myself, haha. But a buddy just picked up a 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance with 50k miles and wants to undo everything the previous owner might have done in regards to upkeep and then ceramic coat the exterior and seats (white interior, which... it wouldn't have been my choice but it's also not my car).
I fall in to Boters camp - I've just bought a 20 year old pristine low mileage Triumph Tiger motorbike and wish I had the patience or dedication to keep it in this condition - It's never gonna happen being that its my daily rider but I wish it were kept this way
It's actually not so hard. You can get into detailing for a relatively low cost and you don't have to drop a ton of money to do paint correction. A couple of coats of a good glaze will actually fill in a lot of those minor scratches and help add depth to your paint. Glaze will run you about $13 a bottle and last you for a while. Sealant is a little more expensive at $20/bottle, but it means your glaze lasts longer. My favorite wax, liquid wax, is a $9 bottle and is super easy to apply and buff off. So for under $50 in consumables, plus some microfiber applicators and towels, you're set for a LOT of detailing work. Then it's just basic soapy washing.
If people are interested, I'll post up a thread on what I've got, what I like, what I don't like... all that jazz.
Sure - that'd be a fun thread on its own ![]()
I did a basic soapy wash the other day then a bit of touch-up paint for stuff that's been in my car since I got it which I'd never gotten around to fixing. (Steph's car is close to mine in color so I hit hers too.)
