No I wouldn't be but the fire department might be. Isn't that a fire zone line in front of your cars?

Nah, but I do envy its condition. Its paint is in much better condition than mine is. I've been wanting to ceramic coat but never got around to it.

It's something they do here in TX, its legal to park in the spaces behind the line, but you cannot 'block' the spaces by parking adjacent to the line.

.

Ceramic coating does not make the condition better. It's just another coating/sealant, which protects the condition underneath. That is key.

The key to a deep, beautiful paint finish is not ceramic coating, wax or any type of sealant you put on it, it's the condition of the clear UNDER that coating. This requires proper paint correction and the removal of swirls/scratches/contamination/oxidation/etc... Then once the finish has been restored, you lock that in with a wax/sealant/coating. Then you maintain that best you can.

I have been detailing 15 years or so. I don't think I have never, ever seen wax alone make any difference in the depth/shine of paint. It's always the prep before hand, in terms of polish and finishing compounds that do all the work visually. Again, the wax/sealant just locks it all in and adds a bit of protection.

Wash -> Clay -> Correction -> Protection

Well, at least you were courteous enough to park your car in the weeds to give the other car plenty of room!

Hahaha yeah I know how it feels so I wanted to get a quick photo without invading its personal space since they went through the cahoots of finding an isolated spot.

Your car is family, how could anyone be pissed

CHASLT1 · 10-20-2020, 06:23 PM

Looks close to that high curb. Got two of my 18" wheels in one wack with my 05 GTO with a curb just like that. Not a nice sound and really not a nice sound with two wheels.

pauly1119 · 10-21-2020, 06:45 AM

Id rather have a another enthusiast park next to me then some tard. They look good together.

Silent_H_ · 10-21-2020, 08:08 AM

No way I'd be excited! Not only did you park a respectable distance, they can be pretty sure you're also a car person and wouldn't ding theirs. Plus, twins!

craigss50 · 10-21-2020, 07:07 PM

You are actually protecting his car. Besides that your driver side door is on the opposite side so unless you had a passenger no dings possible.
