Where did you get the ceramic coating done at?

Nice. Have you noticed an increase in shine and ease of cleaning after ceramic coating?

I wash my car every week, weather permitting. I'd love for the average maintenance wash to be done with a simple rinse, foam, rinse, and blow dry with my leaf blower. Touchless and quick maintenance wash is my goal. I did the leaf blower drying method last weekend for the first time after washing it. It actually turned out great, no spots or drips. It should be even better/faster after ceramic.

I applied some of Joe's favorite product today. Gtechniq - C2 Liquid Crystal C2v3. This stuff is so easy to apply...still always takes me an hour, but I put it on the glass, wheels...everything gets a coat. We'll see how long it lasts. I think it looks good.

Nice! I did a coat this weekend too on everything. Just love the wet shine this stuff produces.

Don't forget your door jams. I also pop the hood and do the underside of it every so often. When I am done, both cloths go in the car cloth hamper. I've got so many MF cloths, but when I build up a dirty ones, I wash them with a product called "Rags to Riches" in the washer and let the towels air dry. Oh, make sure you shake the C2V3 bottle before using and while using.

Door jams are todays mission. I like to do them the next day as there's always water there after a wash…I never can get them totally dry. I may hit the rockers and front bumper again….all the lower hard to get areas (when you're over 50). Those bottom areas are always a mess…and I'm not as thorough in those places…because of me aching back!

https://www.amazon.com/Adams-Detaili...ps%2C67&sr=8-5 It's definitely a backbreaker for us over 50 guys without it. One of the reasons I hit the car so much with it is that I do kind of fly through it. I can coat the whole car in 20 minutes but I know I must miss at that pace, so I will usually hit it again a week later.
