I have a 2018 LR RWD that was ceramic coated right after I got the car. I noticed what I thought was sap last summer but was unable to get it to come off. I finally had time to get a detailer to look at the car and they said they think the paint or clear coat is bubbling under the ceramic pro...

Took delivery one week ago of a Silver Metallic Model 3. I spent a lot of time looking over the car but delivery bay was dark and it was so bright outside that I didn't notice a light patch of paint on the hood. I'm taking it in to the SC but assuming the only fix might be a repaint. I heard...

Took a lot of time deciding weather I wanted xpel again on my new tesla vs auto-flex and weighing the pros and cons, I went with auto-flex this time and was deeply impressed. Here's a video of my car getting autoflexed by PRODIPPER in NYC in a Satin/Matte carbon-sterling silver. Before and...
