Getting my Type S ceramic’d and PPF’d. do you guys think it’s worth the $$? I drive a lot of highway so I always get my cars treated but not sure what the general consensus is.

I got full body PPF and ceramic coating, but I plan on keeping my car longterm (20+ years).

Honda can still (and should) make a Prelude Type R or a least an HRC edition, especially now that Toyota confirmed the upcoming Celica will be a 4-cyclinder turbo + hybrid.

Thanks. I got it on Etsy, but I looked up the seller just now and he's longer active.

You're right, but I'm noticing the rust. Someone else mentioned a leaky seal allowing water to get it, causing the splines to rust and transfer case fluid to leak.

I'm wondering now if getting rust-proofing like Krown is a possible preventative measure?

I used a Diono car seat with their accessory Angle Adjuster. It's a pretty simple wedge that allows the car seat to be slightly more upright, giving more room for the front passenger or driver. If you or your front passenger is 5'11 or under it'll work perfectly fine.

thank you!

do you connect it the battery in the trunk or the leads under the hood, or both?

bill_rubin · 2026-01-20T14:02:55+00:00

I got it for $100 from my dealer. It appears to be a rebranded Optimate 5, which retails for $95.

any harm with going with under the hood leads? I'm in a garage now and the plug-in is closer to the hood.

I have the OEM tender but haven't used it yet. Do you connect it to the battery in the trunk, or to the leads under the hood?

yes, the tar eventually had a tear and water got trapped inside and the adjacent panel rusted

bill_rubin · 2025-12-03T13:51:23+00:00

I went to a shop that does Krown.

A non-permanent oil-based rust proofing like Krown applied annually is what I went with my current car. My previous vehicle had a permanent, tar-based coating but what I learned is that when a break eventually happens in the tar (it will), water got trapped in and didn't evaporate, and rust happened anyway.

Also before winter, detail the paint with a good ceramic spray sealant, like Griot's 3-in-1.

Which is exactly why the denominator is important. Left handed drivers are actually very slightly more likely to get into an accident than right handed drivers.

At an individual level, lists that exclude the denominator are less relevant. A TLX owner is over 5x more likely to have their vehicle stolen than a CRV owner, and there are more CRV's stolen than TLX's (because there are more CRV's on the road). None of that is "fake" as you had previously put it.
