I would ask the detailer offering the Groupon what exactly does that package include. For example, does it include any machine polishing prior to the application of the ceramic coating, or does that cost extra? Or does he plan to apply the coating without doing any polishing at all? Even...

I haven't tried this specific product from Suma. In general, ceramic coatings offer the strongest protection from dirt. Ceramic spray sealants still offer good protection, just a notch or two down from actual coatings. No product will prevent your car from getting dirty all together. But...

If you are going to lease a new MME, make sure you get gap insurance: https://www.independentinsuranceassociates.com/blog/gap-insurance-for-a-leased-car-what-you-should-know/

Has anyone tried this Suma Ceramic Spray on their MME? How did it perform? I checked out the product on the vendor's website. It says that it lasts 6 months but that for best results, they recommend reapplying it after 3 months. And one bottle normally sells for $38 for 8 ounces. My current...

My wife does not have PPF on her MME, but I do have Xpel PPF on my 5 year old 2018 Tesla Model 3. After 5 years, I have two places on the entire car that have very small punctures in the PPF. I don't plan on replacing the PPF just to repair these two small punctures. It's hard to tell exactly...

There are mobile wheel repair guys that come to your home and repair this type of damage. My friend used one in my area and it cost $115.

Thank you for the informative post. You said that heat has a negative impact on 12v battery life. I live in a hot part of Socal where summertime temps routinely reach over 100 degrees. And my MME is parked outside 24/7. Also, this is mainly my wife's car and she can sometimes go several days...

I saw a couple of reviews on the Fisker Ocean, including this one by Doug Demuro. It seems the Fisker Ocean is more front-wheel drive biased, especially when not in the sportiest "dynamic" mode. That is a negative for me. But I do appreciate Fisker's commitment to using recycled materials. That...

I have used Sprayway and it is an excellent glass cleaner. But I personally prefer the Meguiars D120 Glass Cleaner Concentrate. I love clean windows and I use glass cleaner every other day, so cost and value are also big on my list. A 15 ounce can of Spraway on Amazon costs $3.47, or 23 cents...

I personally would still avoid using glass cleaner with ammonia in it. Ammonia is known to damage paint, rubber, plastic, and chrome. Even if you intend to only use the cleaner on glass, some overspray is bound to get on other surfaces of your car. My favorite automotive glass cleaner is...

Several years ago, I drove a Chevy Volt for 3 years, which is a plug-in hybrid with 40 miles of electric only range. I only filled up the gas (or petrol) tank once every 6 months. It gave me the confidence to know I could drive on electricity only. Now we are a 2 EV family (my wife drives the...

Thank you for the heads up. So sorry you got stuck in such a long wait.

The Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions line of products, including their ceramic spray sealant and wet wax, are probably the best value on the market today and you can't go wrong with them. For me personally, there are 3 reasons why I did not continue to use them. 1) There are some ceramic sprays on...

I really like Adam's Polishes products and have heard good things about the ceramic coatings and sprays. Although I have not personally used the coatings, I do use the Adams Polishes Slick N Slide. This is a ceramic topper that you can apply to give your paint a boost of protection. Even though...

Here is one more option for you. I was just visiting the Griot's Garage website to check out their Black Friday deals and they sell a product called Griot's Garage Brilliant Finish Foam On Wax: https://www.griotsgarage.com/brilliant-finish-foam-on-wax-64-ounces/ You wash your car like you...

Here is a simple and fast way to add some paint protection. Just wash your car as you normally would. Then get a ceramic spray sealant and use it as a drying aid. Right before you dry a panel on the clean and still wet car, just spray some of the sealant on there. As you dry, you will add some...

I agree with you that Collinite makes some of the best carnauba car waxes on the market. I have used Collinite 845 and also Collinite 915. They give the paint a beautiful warm gloss. If you prefer using a carnauba wax to protect your paint, you can't go wrong with these. There are a couple...

I'd be happy to share a couple suggestions. There are lots of articles online about how to apply a ceramic spray sealant. For example, here is an article from Turtle Wax: https://www.turtlewax.com/blogs/how-to/how-to-prepare-apply-ceramic-wax-on-car-exteriors You basically need to wash your...

I am a big fan of ceramic spray sealants. Although they are not as durable as ceramic coatings, they are faster and easier to apply and they are more forgiving if you leave a high spot or two. In the past, I have tried and liked Griots Garage 3-in-1 Ceramic Wax and Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions...

Here are some examples: 1) For me, sometimes the MME iPhone as a key works, sometimes it doesn’t. I usually take the key fob with me every drive. The Tesla iPhone as a key works flawlessly. Plus, I think the credit card style key of the Tesla is much better than a key fob. It fits in my wallet...
