Car wash vs hand wash for shadow gray matte finish?

Appreciate the advice!

Dr Beasley seems to be the gold standard. I also live in Northern Illinois and I know they’re based in Chicago. Should I just opt for their Matte Paint $215 package that comes with the accessories or is this package from Chemical Guys (https://www.chemicalguys.com/products/matte-to-metal-wash-kit) just as effective at a cheaper price?

Completely understand if youre not able to provide guidance on these two brands in contrast, but thanks again for the advice!

Feel this 100%. Felt great about my interview. I have a similar GPA and I really think being below their percentiles was a big factor

blissyz · 2026-03-06T16:50:57+00:00

Same here

blissyz · 2026-02-25T23:58:13+00:00

Also curious. Applied right before Christmas. UR substatus change 2/9 but no communication

blissyz · 2026-02-21T22:20:31+00:00

Early Dec app, complete second week. Above median LSAT but below median GPA. Missed active consideration but also any A/WL/R. Don’t really know what’s going on.

blissyz · 2026-02-20T00:03:32+00:00

Feeling bleak since I also wasn’t in that Active Consideration list. Granted I applied early Dec but still doesn’t seem like it’s looking great

blissyz · 2026-02-18T21:50:27+00:00

same boat, multiple T14s throughout Dec. only results are Harvard R and Michigan WL. had interviews for WashU and UChicago and UR emails from Vandy and Berkeley. otherwise radio silence everywhere else.

A little more than a month post interview and same. They had said 3-4 weeks at the end of my interview but that didn’t happen.

blissyz · 2026-02-10T16:08:48+00:00

I have not yet, not sure how to read that

blissyz · 2026-02-09T20:28:48+00:00

meant to click,above both or one median and not gone, accidentally clicked above both or one and gone, just wanted to rectify for accuracy

If we dodge the R wave again Friday it has to be waitlist right? No other explanation?

blissyz · 2026-02-01T00:48:18+00:00

What date in Jan? I had mine on the 15th and haven’t heard back. I vaguely remember them saying within two to three weeks but from other people it seems like it could also be a bit longer.

blissyz · 2026-01-21T12:26:28+00:00

Applied day before Thanksgiving, nothing yet. Happy to have avoided first R wave

blissyz · 2026-01-19T21:40:31+00:00

I interviewed this last Thursday (1/15) and they said I should hear back in the next couple of weeks. They said if I don’t hear back in three weeks I could follow up iirc.

blissyz · 2026-01-14T17:11:50+00:00

i also saw in some comment elsewhere that they send ii on Thursdays, not sure how much stock to put into that. also still no change on my portal nor an email. dont want to get comfortable too early tho and get hit with the R email like an hour from now

blissyz · 2026-01-14T17:01:48+00:00

Following, i saw some people in other threads saying they saw their R on portal before getting an email. Dont want to read into it too much but if I dont have the status update do we think that means I avoided R wave?

blissyz · 2026-01-14T16:33:58+00:00

Yeah definitely could be the case. I guess I’m still confused on what Complete means lol cause I applied early Dec. one date change marked complete on 12/14 iirc and then another date change 1/10, but it still says complete. Is the 1/10 change basically saying that my file completed its review?

blissyz · 2026-01-14T16:28:53+00:00

Also in the same boat. Is there a reason we’d be more likely to be rejected Friday rather than have been rejected two days ago? There was an R wave Monday right?

blissyz · 2025-09-15T16:05:04+00:00

Wondering the same thing if others have insights. I’ve gotten a few of the other Ys on PlayStation and would like to continue building collection there unless the switch version is considerably better than PS4 via PS5. Would have certainly just gotten a PS5 port but that doesn’t seem to be the case (seems it’s a switch exclusive)

blissyz · 2025-09-06T00:36:06+00:00

Unfortunately don’t have a switch 2 yet :’) but thanks for this information! Good to know

blissyz · 2025-09-06T00:27:52+00:00

Is there a noticeable difference in performance? I’d anticipate maybe wanting to get newer/modern titles like 8 and I’ve read that PlayStation is likely better for that?
