Yes, I agree with the commentary and Dave.0, that is really high, I will ask around and see what the folks in Colorado are getting for the high end cars for cleanup, detail and cereamic coating.

Also, on BAT if you are interested to watch a 38K 05 MINI.

I was about to brag about taking my sweet wife's MINI through the touchless warsh this morning. Now I can't, I did spend $10 doing it.

 

You know those touchless car warsh are worse than touching car warsh tunnels because of the super strong chemicals they use. They are so strong theydestroy any wax and sealants. The only reason your car beads at the end is because they rise with soft DI ionized water.

 

The paint on my car & wheels are in good shape. Every other time I wash the car I pull the wheels and clean them inside and out then wipe them down before I put them back on. I wipe the car down twice. and most of the time I polish it. I looked at some of the work they were doing on other cars and part of reason the on the time line is they take some of the parts off the car to apply the coating such as grilles and bolt on parts. Then when they coat the car it covers all the paint even under were the bolt on's are. I am still thinking about it.

 

I forgot the labor rate here is around $275.00 per hour at dealers and some were around $200.00 at other shops.

 

The way you take care of your car is way above what others do. The price they quoted is still way too high even if they do that stuff.

 

Nice install. It really goes well with the interior.

 

Nice car, but sorry it still looks like a bus to me.

 

Very sharp looking ride.

 

2 door too many

 

It's good to know that you are well, even if restricted to your activities. I have aged relatives who live in Dallas and worry about them a lot, since they are in their upper 90s.

So, which is worse...having a rat problem or a RATT one [YEAHHHHHHHHHHH]?

 

I dunno ...
Could go Round and Round on that question.

 

Heck I used that soap this morning in the shower. No rats in my armpits.

 

That’s why you have to use low heat and remove the film Slowly with the glue on it . It takes a long time but it’s better then the situation you are in now.

 

Man that is quite the piece of scrap metal. Ouch! I agree that tire is dead.

 

Good call on getting those replacement certificates for the new JCW tires Don. I always get those when I buy new tires. It has always paid off for me.
