While anyone is free to lend their own opinion (as my above statements are all my opinions), the consumer line vs the professional line is night and day... I've used both.... Any body shop will tell you the same... I never said the Ultimate line wasn't good... But it will NEVER compare to the...
Just remember, anything "consumer" will not work half as well as their professional line. They purposely make it much less abrasive in case it gets in the hands of dumb consumers who would ruin their paint and sue the maker.... [emoji19]
Damn the lawsuits....
And a small section, completed.... Sigh... So much more to do.... [emoji17]
The way paint should look... Like you're looking into a mirror....
I'll finish the qtr and then seal it... Then get a beer and wish I would have done more.... Ha
Just keep in mind, while the Orange pad and the 105 will remove scratches, it will create its own also. Hence the second pass with a less course white pad and a polishing compound like 205.
To really answer this question, the amount you're financing and your rate are needed... This will determine what you owe in 6 years (if anything)...
If zero is owed, I'd think the 2016 would have a higher resale value than a 2012 (in 2021 when you plan on selling it).....
Bottom line, it's...
The PC I'm using... Orange pad with M105
First few passes on M105
After last pass with M105...
Now on the the M205 on this small section..
I'm doing about a 2X2 section at a time..
In case there were any "thoughts" that clay baring your car would remove scratches, here's your proof it removes NON of them... And the paint "feels" smooth as glass after I clay'd it...
Yeah.. Those scratches are almost non existent looking from 5' away... But I assure you, they are nasty and are there.... So first step is to clay bar the hell out of the pass side rear qtr... I'll start the process now. I'm pretty sure I don't have to explain the clay bar process. It's pretty...
From my limited time here, I've gained tons of knowledge about my new to me Denali. Some go big on mods. Some on systems... My thing is paint... I HATE seeing a vehicle with thousands spent on mods meanwhile the paint looks like someone washed it with sandpaper..... So I'm going to try to pay...
Good points. However, if he had a $20K loan, this would be great advise. Paying his loan off early will save him $400... So again, early payment isn't saving him a fortune. He could invest the $400 (he would end up saving) now and have twice as much in 4 years....
But again.. Just my $.02
Just signed and put my deposit down for the BB Tuning event in Northern VA in May.
So my question is- what should I do in preparation for the tune? I assume since I don't have an AutoCal I just show up and they'll do all the work? Haha
Adding an Airaid tube and filter will be a given...
Most people have ZERO idea had bad the condition of their clear coat/paint is.... Yet they'll spend $2000 on a system or rims but complain about spending $1000 to get their paint fixed...
Wanna know how bad your paint is? Take your phones camera, turn the flash on and take a pic of the door...
You've got the right idea. Keep on your current path and you'll be fine. Saving is ALWAYS a good thing. However, you can't spend it in heaven and you're only young once..
Enjoy the younger years while you can. Sounds like you are already enjoying the ride. So have fun with it, make it yours and...
I hear the "calls" to pay it off early... Which I don't think are a wrong or right choice...
The rate is high. However, he financed $6K.. 7% on $6K is a very small amount of interest........ Paying it off early is going to save him about $300-$400 total.....
So paying it off early isn't...
In my short ownership of my Denali, here's what I've had done...
RR Door lock actuator
RR Bose Speaker
Pass Side Mirror motor
Rear Rotors
Oil Pan Gasket
Front Crankshaft Seal
All covered under the extended warranty I bought with it..
Actually, the Mirror Motor and Rotors were covered by the...
