Looks incredible. Is it chromite black metallic, or plain black?

Here you go. I am sure there is a better price

Honestly, I am not planning to use any of that stuff on it. This is only my second ceramic coated car, but the first go around it was nothing but normal wash and it worked perfectly. The ceramic is so good that simply a powerful hose probably gets the car 95% clean.

Plain black! Looks like a mirror at the moment though - will probably never be this clean again lol

Iron decon really should only be used when polishing, at which point you're removing the coating anyway.

Bug and tar remover as noted shouldn't be necessary with a coating, but I may pick up this, which I THINK is gentler for the love bug season if I end up needing it.

Washed the wife's GTS after a Memorial Day road trip. Took some shots afterwards.

Replaced both fob batteries. I recommend against using a tool to separate the plastic halves. Use thumbs/fingers. It's not hard and I felt the small screwdriver I started with was damaging the plastic.

CR2032 x 1 per fob. I do this preemptively once per year for all vehicles in my fleet, including the spare unused fobs.

Excellent pressure washer.
Recommendations from Pan the Organizer. Found his YT channel when researching care products for the Cayenne. He showcases some great stuff.

You guys power wash your cars? Are these very low pressure washers?

As long as your pressure is ~1000 psi (< 1200), you're good. Also, I got this upgrade kit (https://www.obsessedgarage.com/produ...on-upgrade-kit). Highly recommend it for auto detailing (make sure to check for attachment compatibilities). Kit is a little pricey, but the components are of the highest quality.
