Great job!
What product do you use to wash the car since applying the paint protection? I heard the shampoo must not contain a wax as this will effect the ceramic coating?

I use chemical guys Mr pink or honey dew with the torque foam gun. Don't seem to have any problems with it and the shine is phenomenal!

They are illegal in the whole state of NY. But I don't really get pulled over as much as I did when having a sedan with tints. It's just hard getting the ny state inspection done now since it won't pass with tints. Just got to know a guy! And also have a police pba card to get out of tickets!

It's his own rendition of Alan style parking. It's the sort of thing Alan's big fat American New Yorker cousin would do.

++++++? Any more info on this option? Is that Alan getting out of the car and guiding him onto the sidewalk?

Just trying to know what box to tic on my build sheet.
