  1. Second wave is upon us- Here's some state's lists

    Colorado updates? Thank you!
  2. Ceramic coating your CTR? Advices

    After 1000 miles? If the dealer washed the car prior to delivery, then yes, you have swirls and micro scratches everywhere haha. I'm paranoid about paint maintenance. If a towel shows the slightest hint of dirt, it either gets chucked, or I use it to clean wheels. Best of luck!
  3. Ceramic coating your CTR? Advices

    You don't necessarily have to do a paint correction if the paint is swirl/scratch free, as there is only a finite amount of clear coat. Most important part is prep work, removing all the contaminants and oils on the paint surface that can affect how the coating bonds onto the paint. I can see...
  4. Ceramic coating your CTR? Advices

    I'd do the ceramic coating. I love placing sealants and waxes. But these days, I'm realizing I'd rather spend the majority of my time with prep work (as you should), place a ceramic coating, and call it a day for a while. These coatings might be a game changer. Waxes and sealants attract lots...
  5. Touch up repair for the Piano Black trim

    That piano black is a bitch to keep scratch free. Totally worth it to get clear film placed over it. Just finished my beer, now back to detailing my car...2nd coat of Cquartz U.K...prep work takes f'ing forever for these ceramic coatings!
  6. First door ding..arghh :(

    This is the reason I park on the far end of the parking lot, where no other car(s) are ever seen, rain, sun or snow.
  7. New Owners: Is it REALLY feasible to use CTR as a DD?

    I drove my (previously owned) 2016 M3 in the Colorado winter. I'm almost positive, for daily driving purposes, the Type R will be fine.
  8. Second wave is upon us- Here's some state's lists

    Info on Colorado, please? Thank you sir!
  9. What did you do to your Type R today?

    Why? I've never had any clear coat issues living in AZ.
  10. Random CTR Chat

    I would totally get LM's if there is a 19" fitment with the proper offset, without fender rolling.
  11. 2nd gear pull in my CTR

    Thanks for posting these videos, akadic! Good to know the Type R won't be as loud as my STi. The droning just wears on your brain after awhile.
  12. weather tech floor mats

    I got some Husky mats for my current car, as they were a bit cheaper than WeatherTech mats. Also, in my previous car, certain shoes that had more spacing between the bottom sole/treads, would catch on the WeatherTech mats when depressing the clutch pedal. Either way, you can't go wrong. But if...
  13. Cars that wanted to race you?

    I don't even think a stock E46 M3. It would be very close.
  14. Official Championship White Type R Picture Thread

    I think this is the best Type R color, IMO. Congrats to everyone who scored a white one :thumbsup:
  15. Finally got my CW CTR!! Should I sell?

    You never know until you try. Not sure why the OP cares what random people on internet thinks of his financial decision. But if you post on a public forum, prepare for the negativity. If someone offered me $5-10k profit, I'd take it. Make sure to report your capital gains for the fiscal year.
  16. Official Crystal Black Pearl Type R Picture Thread

    Yea, definitely will need the da. Just have some good lighting, and go at it on the affected areas. Here's a good link I refer back to from time to time: https://www.google.com/amp/www.detailedimage.com/Ask-a-Pro/polishing-how-to-with-meguiars-m105-m205/amp/ Lots of different products out...
  17. Official Crystal Black Pearl Type R Picture Thread

    The Type R I saw at my local dealer had swirls everywhere. It was awful. But if you're using the same towel to clean the 50-100 cars that come through, you're going to get swirls. Autogeek is your friend if you're a diy kind of guy.
