Both my cars saw some love this weekend, RDX getting an engine bay detail (and regular wash), while Megatron (Prius Prime) has it’s paint coated. It’s stuck in the garage over night so the coating can cure, but it should help with the regular cleaning as it sees lots of commuting mileage.

Stunning pics! Did a light clean on the CX 3, but was on call

Does bleeding my brakes count?

Yes, because we appreciates you being able to stop.

Bought a wash mitt and gave the LS400 its first proper wash. Finished up with Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic Coating, which seems to be working great considering it is now raining and the water beading is absolutely MESMERIZING .

These were taken with the phone too. After the coating cures i’ll put up some beading shots.

Nope, pretty much did the opposite this weekend. Drove the Subaru to a ski mountain which involved transiting through 4 hours of bugs committing suicide both ways and driving through slushy snow at the mountain. And I drove the Miata for some canyon carving after that, chucking bits of rubber and brake dust all over the place. So both cars are much more dirty after the weekend than before. As they should be!

That product isn’t available in Canada yet, but i’m Excited to try it. If you like that level of water beading but want something with better durability, check out Sonax Polymer Net Shield . Beads were so small I could get close enough to show them.

I’m super happy with the Meg’s stuff for the price. I’ll give that Sonax a look. Is it another SiO2 based product?

The Miata got a quick scrub and wash to get the bugs out last Friday night before Cars and Coffee the next day. The Tacoma...eh, nature will wash it for me until it’s time for me to personally wash it.

No it’s a Polymer based product, but super easy to work with and the beading is nuts.

You windshield surrounds are vinyl wrapped? I need to do the same thing to mine. Looks perfect!

It’s not perfect up-close but from 20ft away it looks really nice. My issue was that I ordered a size or two too-small so my friend and I did it in four sections instead of one solid piece.

Yup.

Wouldn’t it have to be done in three pieces anyways? I would think a single sheet the length of the horizontal top part would be good, just cut three strips and end up with the only waste being the extra length versus the two vertical parts.

Not nearly as intensive as you did.

To be faiiiirrr,
My engine bay is a little easier to clean. Damn lots a lot of hoses.

Vacuumed my floor and seats. The car needs detailing honestly.
