Looks really nice. Now that you got it ceramic coated I suppose Canada can go into "lockdown"...

Add bigger brakes and it'll be "perfect" (should've been factory option)

Canada has been in lockdown for almost two weeks. Car detailing is apparently an essential service here.

Don't need to be bigger (for me) but yes I am going to something to change the colour of those calipers. They stand out horribly against the bronze wheels. Don't want red or yellow though so probably just some black paint.

You are kidding right?? I suppose cop cars and ambulances need the coating so that the virus doesn't cling onto the paint...

I've had it on my car for about 6yrs, no issues. Easy cleaning, car looks like new. However, I think that it will require detailing to get back to the mirror like finish..

Not kidding. They are classed as "automotive service" and may remain open. They do have some pretty stringent protocols in place before anybody can even enter the facility.

They are getting me a bottle of the special stuff for renewing and conditioning it. I primarily wanted it for the easy cleaning.

Whenever the car is clean I get positive responses.. Little do they know that I've gone down the lazy route to keeping it shiny.. You're it's expensive but I think worth it.
