PROJECT BLUE ASTROPAD REDDIT UPGRADE

The best bang for the buck is to upgrade your wire harness. if you're interested in keeping your paint better than factory, follow them.

if all you're looking to do is keeping your paint in good condition, then what i do is just fine. beware though that they use a lot of very high end products, and circle jerk over polishing and getting perfect reflections. if i did a bunch of off roading and the paint is gritty i'll clay as needed, but usually it's once a year.Īlso head over to /r/autodetailing for a lot of tips. Usually wash every 2 weeks or so, and rewax every 6 weeks or so. either a good sponge or a wheel brush for your wheels would be needed as well. i don't use one, and my car comes out fine.

yeah they're both good, but you really don't need all of that.Īnd of course a (or a couple) 5 gallon buckets with a grit guard, which is completely not necessary, but highly recommended by professional detailers. Honestly, i wouldn't get either of those. I like the fact that they're yellow so you know when you should throw one out.)

Eurow Microfiber Towels 16in x 16in 36-Pack (some cheap microfibers and they hold up pretty well.

Sonax Wheel Cleaner (the chemical smell is harsh, but it works wonders!).

Griot's Garage Micro Fiber Wheel Wand (love these).

Doesn't leave any nasty grease/shiny spots)

Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer Cleaner (better than Armor All IMHO and it works well.

I even clean the inside of the rims and exhaust tips with it)

Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer (I use it for basically everything outside the car to touch up.

Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax (I use this for the quick wax jobs, like inside the trunk hood/trunk/door.).

Viking Blue Microfiber Wax Applicator (cheap and they work well, even after throwing them in the wash after several times).

Nu Finish Liquid Car Polish (this is an amazing polish.).

Chemical Guys Silk Shine (works great as a tire dressing and to shine up the plastics).

Pinnacle Signature Series II Carnauba Wax (by far my favorite wax for my CW GTI).Cobra Guzzler HD Waffle Weave Drying Towel 16 x 24 inches (this is a must-have).Let the car sit in my garage for 24 hours after applicationĪ friend of mine bought a White Model 3 and I did these same steps for him in July (he bought all the materials and the beer :) Both cars are looking great. Applied Optimum Gloss Coat over the whole car ( ).

Full IPA wipe down, used Optimum Paint Prep ( ).Single-stage polish using M205 on all panels not covered by XPEL PPF ( ).Clay bar entire car (used ONR for clay lube) ( ).

Chemical decon using Optimum Ferrex ( ).

I did have full front PPF (XPEL) installed the day after I took delivery, and then I drove the car for 3 months until temps warmed up. I took delivery of my 3 in February of this year (also multi-coat red) and did something very similar to what you are doing. You can get a cheap shuttle to the Denver airport for $50(?) if you don't want to park up there, but the economy parking is cheap enough that if you're going anywhere for less than a week and a half, it's cheaper to just drive and park. But you might want to consider a AAA membership in case you blow a tire. Admittedly it's because of Colorado's odd weather - it can be below freezing at night but 80F and raining in the day, day after day, so the water seeps into the road, freezes, and destroys it. The government can't figure out how it works, so much of the city is covered in potholes. Our road maintenance is (or at least was) complete garbage. For some reason a lot of people love to give them money so I don't really blame them for taking advantage of idiots. We have an alarming number of 'homeless' like /u/RetiredFett noted. >What problems does Colorado Springs have that I should be aware of? If you've never been in a cold climate, you will want some things - a good coat (it can get below zero), a light coat (for when it's 80F but it'll drop down to 40F by quittin' time), snow boots, snow gloves, one of these, one of these, and one of these (kept in your car). This was made a few years ago but covers it. The more south you go, the rougher it gets, but the Springs does not have a ghetto in the sense of other cities. >What are the things you'd only know if you live there?

The drive up to Denver takes only an hour, two in traffic, so you can always head up there to do anything. There really isn't a ton to do if you're used to LA, SF, or SD. The city is starting to pick back up after all of the industry leaving thanks to the tolerable rent (which is rising fast). We have the whole FOTF crowd but the culture is nowhere near as religious as most of the south, don't worry. >Is Jesus gonna bother me on Saturday mornings? / Of particular interest is the influence of the evangelical christians on the makeup and actions of Colorado Springs as a city. I think Uber moved in a little less than a year ago.
