Not my work (but was done on my car). Full detail including 1-step correction and a ceramic coating. https://i.imgur.com/J1Jw4TI.jpeg

Thanks so much for the detailed info, especially as it seems we're in similar situations (I used to try and do this myself, but just can't anymore). I just checked the cpro website and found someone not too far away with great reviews so I'll be reaching out to them.

Great, thanks so much everyone. Definitely seems I will not be opting for more than a 3 year coat at best, possibly even shorter. Finally, do coatings, if not properly maintained, end up looking worse over time vs. a wax/regular sealant that isn't maintained?

Great, thank you. Can I get your thoughts on the following coatings? How well do they tend to hold up over 3-5 years? 1) Undrdog Pro 2) System X 3) G Techniq Thank you.

A couple of the professional detailers near me offer 1, 3, 5 or 10 year coatings. Do coatings these days (with proper care) really last up to 10 years, or is that likely a waste of money (to pay extra for a 10 year coating)? Another one just offers either a 6 month or a '2 to 5' year (I assume...

I've had one of those circular elementary school magnets on my car for, apparently, way too long (6-10 years). I'm sure I've taken it off over the years here and there when washing the car, but apparently it's been a while and now I can't remove it. The 'cover' of the magnet (showing the...

Thanks so much!

Thank you very much. Perhaps I'll try polishing by hand.

I'm continually having issues with windshield wipers (streaking, etc...) within weeks of changing them, so I'm wondering if perhaps my windshield is heavily contaminated (11 year old car). As an aside, I've tried so many different wipers from so many different companies, so I'm pretty sure it's...

Great, thanks all. I'll give one/multiple of these suggestions a try (and will be very careful to cover the dash/vinyl).

Hi. I've had an iOttie Easy One Touch XL Windshield Dashboard Car Mount for several years now, and about a week ago I guess it had had enough of the sun (or something), as the glue/sticky part that sticks to the windshield had 'melted' and the holder was on the floor, leaving a lot of sticky...

In my dreams! Nice car!

Am thinking of replacing my Q5 which I love, but is starting to have more and more issues. I'd love something similar, and used, either a 2016 or a 2017 (maybe a 2015). Was thinking of a Mercedes GLC300, but it seems to get mixed reviews (some sites give it great reviews and reliability...

A few times this winter the weather has been just right to leave a really thick coat of ice all over our cars. Aside from a physical windshield snow cover (which I may just have to get one of these days), would any product (whether it simply be rain-x or a wax or a coating or whatever) work to...

Credit card worked perfectly!
