So if you avoid a dealer wash and do a paint correction, but one day dealer washes it on accident, is it game over and another correction is needed?
Dealer did wash it. My first time ordering a new car so I wasn't really thinking about it. There were quite a few holograms and some scratches in the finish. I think that even people who are not having dealer wash are finding some. My detailer recently did a brand new LaFerrari and he said that its finish was worse than mine.
I also picked JBM thinking maintenance would be easier. Since I am in a condo building I can't really wash mine, so I settled on having C-Quartz applied. My detailer said to take it through a touchless car wash once a week and go back to him every month or so for a $60 maintenance wash, plus reload maybe every 3-4 months. That's something I can manage. I'll just watch Money's detailing videos and imagine I'm doing the same.

Hi, Mark.
They absolutely love the 991 GT3. They consider it the benchmark at this time, and anything else really needs to be compared to our cars, hence this comparo. They really wanted to drive the Z06 C7 back to back with my car, and refresh their memory about it, right away. It confirmed all that they remembered. Really neat to hear. Mostly everything else that is comparable costs so much more, and this reaffirms why our cars will not drop in value. It is just the best value out there, and our cars are such that you can drive them everyday. I already have 6k miles on mine, and I couldn't drive it for 4 months of the past year I have had it. That is more miles than I have put on any sports car this quickly, and I have 4 cars that I drive all the time, so that is saying something. I just keep going for this car on a regular basis.

Maverick787, sunshine and lovely weather in ATL? I cannot wait for spring and summer!
This morning however was sunny and beautiful but we're expecting snow tonight on the Cumberland Plateau. We had snow the night before last and I thought that would be it.
Yesterday morning I took these pics in my back yard...thats just about as far as the cups would go!

Regarding driving, yes, I gave that example to a friend - funny that you said that.
Weird but still seemed right?

Hey Jeff,
just saw this - that's so cool that they pictured your car. What issue? I'm about to fly to Heathrow today, so I'll pick up a hard copy. Seeing your car, noobies will think the new GT3 comes loaded with "everything carbon fibre".
My car is getting a wrap in Ohio. Won't see it till about Feb 25th.
Best,
Vivian

Funny about that - I was taking the Evo guys what was stock and what was optioned from the factory, and what was aftermarket. Quite a compliment to companies like MACarbon whose products match so well with factory parts.

Thank you. As usual, the subject is so photogenic.
Thank you. I've recently switched to the new full frame mirrorless Sony A7ii with the kit 28-70mm lens that came with it. I've been shooting in manual mode and am still experimenting and getting used to it.
