the shop should clean it thoroughly - that's on them.

there was hardly any rust overall so I'm pretty confident and these guys are meticulous.

Well I guess it depends on how good the seal is. Chipped paint doesn't mean that the water has a pathways to travel under paint. So I'm not sure how different this is. Alpha Cars said they recommend bringing it back ever couple years to see if anything needs to be touched up. But even if I...

Chances that they produce these in any volume in 2022 is low. And it still looks fugly and awkward with those giant hideous shiny black fender flares that they stole from a batman costume. Hood scoop looks like a cheap bolt-on from aftermarket company that sells to 2005 Fast&Furious wannabes...

Not sure how it's different than the products used by Ziebart.

Yeah that's the stuff - I hope that doesn't happen to mine. I'm a little surprised given these guys really seem like experts and said it was the best product. They did say that they recommend having it re-examined every few years to see if any touch up is needed. It's been used for many years...

I think if I owned a lift, I would try to do it myself. But the more I watched the video the more I was glad I outsourced it. I probably would have sprayed areas that shouldn't be sprayed (like a heat shield and then realized how stupid that was)

They also removed the bash plates and wheel wells. They said the didn't need to remove the bumpers but were still able to get all of the inside of the frame.

Importantly, for anyone considering this, the most beneficial and least expensive time to do this is when the car is new. Otherwise a lot of your time and/or money will go into wire brushing, sanding, and treating existing rust, before you start to apply whatever protectant you choose.

I can’t claim that I actually noticed it, nor was I listening for it. But from looking at it, feeling it, and seeing where it’s been applied (plus the enclosed places I can’t see), it would be more than reasonable to expect that it would have significant sound deadening qualities. For me a lot...

It’s explained in detail in the 2nd video and in text of my initial post. But the undercarriage is Hardwax, and the enclosed areas were done with Waxoil which is thinner and penetrating. Both products are made by the brand which is also called Waxoil. See video two for exact products - he shows...

Mine, as it went in for rust protection.

I have it on another car. No big deal. And you'll learn this soon my friend, but in the "worst weather" the radar can't see sh!t because the sensor gets ice, mud, snow on it and it stops working. Enjoy your purchase. ;) Not sure what the worst weather you get in TX is - maybe it's worth it down...

"It's so worth the wait!" This tops my list because it is the most tone deaf, misguided, irritating thing anyone can say to someone who has been waiting for a very long time. You don't know how long I've been waiting. You don't know how long before my wait is over. You don't know my situation...

I just did this replacement for of all 4" speakers with the Kicker 2-way speakers (and bass blockers on front only). I tried with and without the boom mats but did not hear a different so I took them out. The sounds is sooo much clearer - no longer sounds like the speakers are inside a cardboard...

Never heard of it. Not sure I love the name "valuguard" but that's just marketing. Reminds me of "Ameri-debt". Asphalt based. I think I'd want to see an example in person to makes sure it's not soo goopy/thick that it would be impossible for a mechanic (or me) to work on the car. Looks like...

too late - it's heading to south America now, where the frame will probably be fixed with 2x4s

not sure yet - I haven't committed to buying it but I think it's about $700?

They replied to me on the same question. Similar to factory rack - the front panels can still come off - not the 2nd row panel. FWIW - my dealer has ordered me a factory rack for my 4-door. They told me it should be shipping this week. I don't love it (wish it extended to the rear mount point...
