Actually not that many scratches in the paint at all compared to what I imagined under a bright ass light
[02:00:26]
KnownSyntax
Especially when it was a rental (effectively) for a single person over a year

KnownSyntax: thank god it would have been rip to you if you had to include buffing out nasty scratches on your newly purchased vehicle
[04:23:22]

Tbh I have a heavy duty clay bar kit & wax from when they made me white Chevy Bolt EV turn blue from a shitty wrap shop using way too much overspray

So would have been annoying but nothing new or hard. The first time was hard but it's easy once you know how to do it all. Just takes time which is the worst
[04:24:18]
KnownSyntax
Like for the Bolt my first run was an hour and I missed a shitload of spots
[04:25:50]
KnownSyntax
Only part that pisses me off is the gash in the paint from that metal piece and it forcing me to replace a tire
[04:26:03]
KnownSyntax
But it is what it is. The Interior is spotless so that's all good
[04:32:02]

Hopefully our car doesn’t have Julie permanently ingrained into the paint lmao
[04:39:02]
brandon
Yeah I worked for a guy when I was like 20ish
[04:40:03]

Mobile auto detailing sucks when you have to claybar someone’s car in 100 degree weather on the street with asphalt concrete and 0 shade
[04:40:13]
brandon
Never again lmao
[04:48:06]

I'll see if the issue was the coolant levels. This is a simple test done to check radiator fluids? I vaguely remember doing this with one of my vehicles but I cannot remember anything specific.
[05:08:50]
KnownSyntax
Nah it was the spray, so the adhesive piece
[05:09:00]
KnownSyntax
The shop they sent me to was totally inexperienced
[05:09:11]
KnownSyntax
They basically got so many bad reviews they never use them again, and had another shop do the removal lol
[05:10:15]
KnownSyntax
Shit, when it's summer I pressure wash my car in the garage too. Makes it steamy hot but otherwise the soap and water dries way too fast and leaves a ton of hard water spot marks all over
[05:10:36]
KnownSyntax
This way I have a ton of time before the water droplets dry and I’m at least in shade
[05:11:20]
KnownSyntax
Clouds: probably pop the radiator cap and see. Some have a level you can check in an area that's clear-ish with a level mark to check
[05:12:13]
KnownSyntax
Plus the wax I have won’t work if it's above like 85 degrees or in the sun. So I wait till night time and use a fan to cool the garage down from inside the house. Then do all of the work then under a shitty shop light I have and check it all the next morning lol
[06:05:24]
brandon
KnownSyntax oh shit they are having someone local remove it 😬
[06:05:49]
brandon
We had to go to some random spot in Hollywood to get it put on too lmao
[06:06:15]
brandon
I should check them out on Yelp first huh
[06:12:12]
brandon
You could always find a place that sells DI water and has a pump we got a spot like that in Montclair
[06:13:12]
brandon
You pull up to the hose behind the building go in buy some tokens come out fill up and take off
[06:20:19]
brandon
you’re using tap water that is
[06:23:02]
brandon
Tap water makes it even harder to wash a car in the summer
[06:23:14]
brandon
Plus doing it in parts helps too
[06:30:09]
KnownSyntax
I’ve tried to even find a like mobile water purifier or water softener but can’t find one for <$150
[06:30:22]
KnownSyntax
Since I don’t own this place, otherwise I would have just installed one tbh
[06:30:52]
KnownSyntax
But yeah DI water is an option just don’t have like big tubs to store it in to use sadly
[07:12:26]
brandon
Yeah once we rent out this house and find our forever home I’ll be installing a whole house RO system/re-mineralizer for
[07:13:15]
brandon
I wanted to do it to this house too but idk if the renter would be up to paying for the maintenance for the system not everyone down here is keen on this

[21:34:54]

I even told the guy when I got the 2023 Bolt EUV that GM would pay to add in a 240volt in the garage, and he declined because it would raise his insurance rates lol
[21:35:17]
KnownSyntax
although I worded it in a way to where he would give me a half off credit on rent or something for a single month, but still nope
