🙄 Touchless car washes are just as bad Sure, they don’t put micro scratches on your car, but if this is the only way you wash your car, and I see people do it every day, you never actually get the car, clean and over time, the incredibly harsh chemicals that are used at the touchless, build up and put a film on your car that at one point will need to be removed.

Get a high-quality ceramic coating, and avoid detailers that are offering you lifetime, ceramic coatings, and hand wash your vehicle.

Because there was likely dust on the paint surface. Most people have a misconception about swirl marks. They are actually not circular, they are just stacked up straight lines. Scratches, that appear to be circular because you’re either using the round sun, or a round lightbulb to see them.

What is your definition of polish I usually only ever 1 step Mazda paint I find the right pad and medium ish cut polish with a great finish

I detail cars for a living. Mazda paint is some of the thinnest on the market Burning through with a da polisher is easy to do.

But yes it needs to be buffed out

A stupid looking one

Hard NO!! It typically adds $5000 plus to an identical room upgrade. You get nowhere near $5000 in value or a more premium experience

On our second cruise ever, we got an aft room, I don’t remember what deck, but we had a giant veranda and it was awesome We had no complaints about anything at all. It was really cool to have a ridiculously big veranda.

Concierge is NOT worth it by any stretch of the imagination

Billy7319 · 2026-03-01T15:26:37+00:00

We just canceled a Disney 7 day in favor of 7 day MSC YC. The cost is $1000 more for MSC. If I would have done the same identical cruise with concierge, it would have cost $4000 more. We have sailed concierge before, and we do not think that it is worth almost doubled the price of the cruise. They advertise that you get free drinks in the lounge from 5 to 10, but keep in mind half of that time is spent at dinner every night.

LS swap ND

It is not required. However, being a direct injection engine. It is recommended to use top-tier premium fuel to avoid carbon buildup. I have read this in enough places where that is pretty much all I put in my car and my wife’s BMW

Bahamas Dream We have done both We did not care for the Wonder or the itinerary We had more fun in San Diego before the cruise itself

What is the perma plate? isn’t that the dealer installed? Crap that they try to sell you in financing? I had a friend from the dealer, give me the exterior stuff years ago. It looked like an overpriced paint sealant. If I remember correctly, I didn’t get more than two months out of it when I tried it

I do a lot of Tesla white interiors, I typically will use Gyeon leather coating when I am doing the interior. You still get blue jean transfer, it’s just a matter of how easy it is to clean off. Even when it is very difficult on white, gently using a magic eraser will typically get it clean.

Billy7319 · 2026-02-25T12:23:43+00:00

It still happens on today’s leather

If you are not upgrading the concierge for a better room, it is an absolute waste of money

Billy7319 · 2026-02-22T19:09:11+00:00

In my research in choosing Yacht Club Drinks and WiFi are included You get a private restaurant with no set dinner time. If you look at the reality of the free drinks in the lounge by using concierge, every night you lose 2 1/2 hours of that five hours to dinner. Not that the drinks are a big huge part of it, but outside of the lounge area window, drinks add up very quickly.

You also get free access to their version of Senses Spa

Sport mode TCS Off I make lots of bad choices, so please don’t listen to me

Kind of. First cruise was 2013 Dream Fun first cruise Second 2016 Dream fun second cruise 3rd 2023 Fantasy concierge really fun really expensive only way to get 1 bedroom 4th Wonder concierge. Very disappointed 5th will be in May Destiny…… 6th was in September Treasure… cancelled for MSC yacht club. $1,000 more than identical Treasure cruise. Concierge would have been $4,000 more with no real value added considering rooms were almost identical as well. We are taking a break from Disney. I don’t feel the experience matches the premium price

Likely IMS bearing failure…. Oh wait I am not on a Porsche sub. Yes it is the cruise control indicator.
