    My local ceramic coating snake oil operation

    Local Honda dealer near Chicago does it. Walked away from a purchase because they would only take 200 off the 1500 charge. Great work on the “coating” too. Swirled to heck. Dealers are clueless.

    Looks great. I have a 21. I think weekly about replacing it with a small suv and then I get behind the wheel again. It’s a bargain for what it is. Super practical. Great on gas. Pretty quick. ��
