Default Old girl. Fresh look.

After a wonderful 4.5 years, decided to put new PPF on the fenders. Car has 15k miles. Also got the wheels ceramic coated. Hate hate the dust these irons make. Still looking good

Better later than never - did you get the front done as well! And wow, nice booth...hopefully your installer is just as good!

Front actually still looks pretty good. But will probably get it replaced next season. Used North Pitt auto spa for all my cars. Nate does an awesome job.

Looks like you just picked it up from the dealer...

God I hate PA windshield stickers.

Better the stickers than front plates!

I always tell them to place the stickers low, it makes a big difference ....

My Dad, Uncle and brothers all live in NY and all have nice rides - they all hate front tags and window stickers, especially when I have neither in FL.

Your car looks stunning, better than new. Ducktail looks awesome too.

Im getting new clear bra as we speak. The dealership 3M Kit was yellowing after 6 years.

I had my Satin Black OEM wheels ceramic coated right after I bought it all it did was make it easier to clean but they still looked brown after a drive. You can try changing your brake pads to Centric Posiquiets, which many here have done and they swear by the results; however, I decided to swap to PCCBs thus eliminating brake dust entirely.

That’s what I’m going for. Irons will always throw dust like glitter on a stripper’s ***. Just hoping they will rinse off easier.

Ceramic will help with rinsing and if you don't let it build up it really helps.
