Today is one of the best days of my life. I finally got my Porsche. After 18 months of shopping and deciding on a configuration and 4 more months to build and deliver I became a Porsche owner! I drove it 250 miles today and could not be happier.

Do the 18 ways really make that big a difference to the 2 ways? Don't ever adjust the lumbars except on long trips which I don't plan on taking a 718 or 911 on anyways. Nice spec

Can't say that I've experienced the 2 ways, but I've done trips of 19hrs, 15hrs, and 15hrs in the 18 ways without the slightest bit of discomfort or fatigue.

RDMUSTANG... saw that you were going to ceramic coat the new car yourself. My BS shows up in just over a week and wondered what product you used, where you got it, and how tough it was. Thanks.

I did it this weekend. It took me about 4 hours to detail my car and about 2-3 hours to do one final wipe down with isopropyl alcohol and then apply the ceramic coat depending on how you track time (1 hour wait between ceramic coat and booster coat).

I used CarPro CQuartz ceramic coat and CarPro Reload. I bought a combo pack on eBay for ~$100. It came with applicators, towels, and Iron X which I didn't use.

Overall it was a lot of work but the cheapest quote I could find locally was $2600. It was definitely easier to do than on an older car as the pain was already very close to perfect. I would definitely recommend doing it yourself.
