I am absolutely sold on cheap Chinese ceramic coating.

I washed the Escalade today, for the first time since March or April. It still looked clean and the water ran off of it. As I got to cleaning it, there was a dirt buildup that came right off and it was a quick dry. Ceramic coating worked great.

I then washed, clayed, polished and ceramic'd the Avalon. Man, $5 ceramic coating is the best thing for garbage cars. It filled a lot of the scratches and gave it a great shine. It looks presentable and it'll be a good benchmark for the coating's longevity since it stays outside. I only did one coat, but even that will probably be worlds better than what it was like before.

Ceramic coating is indeed awesome, is that the stuff you linked before? Does one bottle really do an entire car?

Hey MEATPIMP, what's your favorite glass cleaner? I've tried a half dozen things and nothing seems to last on the interior of the windshield and I have to re clean it every week.

I ordered the invisible glass, what interior cleaner/protectant would you recommend that won't gas off?

Best thing for fast cars is to own something slow that you regularly drive too. I find it really helps to prevent your baseline definition of "fast" from getting too crazy.

Don't you own a Porsche and and STI swapped Baja???

Which of those is the slow car?

My Mazda6 had some serious whining that sounds like what you're describing but in my case, changing out the oil like you already did made it go away.

...and then I could hear all the other noises it was making.

My $800 Avalon is right at $2k. All cheap cars end up being $2k.

Free T Cruiser paid me $230 to own it!

selling stuff is too much trouble these days. i just packed up a fuckload of toys and nerd poo poo and instead of going slow on Mercari i'm taking it all to a shop to dump in one go. i need to have as much free time as possible

because a mutual friend messaged me and said "hey, he's going to propose on christmas, didn't want you to be blind sided" so i need every single second of every day to make sure they can never be happy/

Remind me whereabouts in TX you are again? There's definitely places to avoid.

DFW. I'm specifically thinking Keith's Comics.

I'd say Dallas Vintage Toys is the better option.
