Picked up a new Daily Driver....
So I did a thing.....finally pulled the trigger on a new daily driver saving some meat on the bone for both a new car for my daughter coming this summer and a toy for me likely next year or possibly late this year if it works out.
Thursday, I'll head out to pick up a fully loaded 2019 Accord 2.0t Touring with a few upgrades including Ceramic Tint, Upgraded Alloy Wheels, Factory moldings and integrated mud guards, all weather mats and more. Platinum White Pearl with two-tone leather interior.
Did I say kids are expensive? LOL! Slight departure from what I've had in the past but I will dig not having to keep up with black paint this time!
I'll be detailing and coating it this weekend and also getting the entire front, rocker panels and more done in PPF. Very likely ordering up some high-gloss Black PPF for the roof too. Should look like a piece of black glass from the windshield to the rear window once I'm done with the install of it. Stay tuned!

Love the looks of these newer Accords! Can ‘t wait to see the roof

Re: What did you do today non-detailing related?
Dealing with a misfire in my 89 5.0.
Changed plug wires, checked/adjusted gap on plugs, no change.
I swapped to my old coil, but haven't driven it yet to see if that helped.
I've swapped distributors, no change.
If the coil doesn't help, I'll may try a new distributor cap (current one is maybe 1k miles old, but maybe it's a dud out of the box).
Frustrating because pretty much the only good thing about the car is the engine....well, that and the brakes.

Went bass fishing at the local pond and got skunked. They are on their spawning beds and are not interested in anything right now but what nature intends for them this time of year. Sun was shining most of the time so I synthesized some natural vitamin D.

Re: What did you do today non-detailing related?
Finished up most of the paint protection film. Have to wait until Thursday this week to get the larger roll of film in which will accommodate the entire hood. About 2hrs left. Otherwise, the entire front end is done in one piece and in total the car will be very well protected.
Entire Hood
Front Fenders
Headlights / Foglights
A Pillars
Gloss black door pillars (6)
Leading edge of roof in front of sunroof
Rocker panels all the way back
One of the best on the market. Super clear, ultra glossy, self healing and lifetime warranty. Been using it for over a decade and their latest product here is amazing.

Mowed the lawn. First stripes going that direction this year. This was before edging the driveway as well.

Re: What did you do today non-detailing related?
Sold my Model 3. Driven only 1000 miles in the last year due to working from home.
It went to a great Tesla family.
Used car prices are crazy now. Didn't think it would actually sell but supply is low and demand is high. Especially for trucks! Check Vroom and Carvana if you have a truck and want to flip it.
