I'm still holding out with my Jeep GC Overland.

GC? The pride of Toledo!

The 7er is an amazing vehicle. Love it.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. It's the workhorse of the family. She's a good ride.

Love the 7 series!! Maybe one day.

None of them unfortunately, the BMW Genius was Allison (I think) though

Are you getting the 9H coating? Please post pics before and after, curious to see the difference. How many years of protection warranty are you going with?

9H is a marketing gimmick. I have had many experience with ceramic coating and it does protect the paintwork but your paint won't be impervious to scratches, marring, and rock chips.

Regular wax or application of a polymer sealant can be just as good granted you take care of your paintwork.

Best $20 Craigslist purchase ever. Makes drying the car a "breeze". Get it?

Tell me about that shop vac. How do you like it?

I have a smaller Ridgid that I use for vacuuming the cars. This one is a 6.5hp model that I put a concentrator nozzle on. It literally dries the car in no time. I still use a waffle weave to get it 100% dry, but the shop vac does 90% of the work. It's honestly my favorite part of cleaning my cars!

So do you recommend that vacuum? I saw one that same brand in Home Depot the other day

I swear they are indestructible. I *highly* recommend them.

This is my drying tool of choice. Dual 4.0hp motors that can operate together as an eight hp or singularly as a four hp motor. Also, puts out warm/hot air to speed up the drying process. Pricey, but worth it for me. I've had mine for a few trouble free years now and it was just what I needed when I was drying my full sized Armada LE.

Agree that the Master Blaster is still the best tool out there, but for a $20 Craigslist find, my 6.5hp Ridgid was a no-brainer.

That being said, seeing this video made me hesitate...

Haha, looking sharp. Why would you block the numbers

As it is in my driveway, since I'm on a busy main street and have no garage with an X5 and an Audi in my driveway . . . I'm constantly checking at night from my bedroom window watching for the dreaded flatbed to snag one of our cars.

But I use my wife's Audi to block my X5 in

I hope you have security cameras installed.
