I just want to complain. At no point in my ZHP's life (with me) has it EVER been as dirty as it is now. It is literally disgusting. The winter storms, the sand, the salt, the grime, it is caked on the car. I can only IMAGINE the damage I'm going to do to it when I gingerly remove all of it. When will I remove it? NO IDEA! :dunno
I won't even speak about the interior.
Also, my commute takes me up the New Jersey Turnpike. If there's a threat of snow, the salt trucks start spreading huge chunks of salt at around 6 a.m., just when I get on it. They drive in the right lane and shoot this crap across the entire highway. They're driving at around 40 m.p.h., shooting the rocks of salt out at about 100, and you have to drive by at over 50. This all = amazingly large rock chips in the front of the car, guaranteed. :crying
And the noise. The noise of the salt hitting the car haunts me. It HAS to be like experiencing a drive-by. Not that I know, but it stands to reason...
/rant :mad
SO here's the plan. Springtime will = body shop time. Fix the dings, the spot the car was keyed, respray the MtechII, refinish my wheels, and on goes the damn clearbra.
Question: if they respray the MtechII with fresh Imola-2, how does that match the Imola on my car which has "aged" invariably with time, weather, sun, etc...?
