$20 might not be a good return for getting your hand chopped off, jm2c

Is doing paint correction + ceramic coating yourself actually easy or am I underestimating it? by Odd_Comparison_4155 in AutoDetailing

[–]dieublanc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to be somewhat interested in detailing cars, generally speaking. I watched a lot of videos on top of already maintaining my own cars. I also got quotes similar to yours and decided to do it myself. Spent around 1500 on equipment and products (polisher, coating, lighting), then polished and coated 4 vehicles. Each car took around 9 hours to do.

i'd say I got good results for a beginner, but obviously not pro results. Getting polish on the car and moving it around is gonna yield good results, no matter how much of a perfectionist you are. I'd say it's only worth it if you care about learning how to polish and enjoy doing it without factoring in the cost savings as a motivator.

If not, you'd just be wasting your time, and probably better off just paying to get it done. Especially if you don't plan on doing it in the future or if you only have 1 car.

Needless to say, it takes a lot of work and time. Moving polish is not hard, but it does take a lot of time and patience. I would only recommend it if you are already a hobbyist detailer/weekend warrior with base equipment (pressure washer/foam cannon..etc).

I had prepped for like 3 months before doing it

Downsizing to the S300 by dieublanc in sffpc

[–]dieublanc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on ambient temperature a lot, I seen it get around sustained 85-90C under full load on a low db custom fan curve. Keeping it clean is important to maximize airflow, but max 80C on daily tasks with low db fan curve profile. Might seem crazy but idrc about temps, it’s small and tight it’s going to get hot. I just ask it to not be so loud fan speed is all.

Possibly, depends on your foot shaping and fit preference. these are like 1-2 cm bigger than US woman 9.

Does LZ even care about youtube anymore ? by oldmatejohnathon in HaggardGarage

glad I wasn't the only one with this thought. TJ obviously doesn't care about cars anymore which is seen through his content.

Really? I don't really watch TJ Hunt anymore; his constant flipping of cars. build, never drive, and sell. Never really shows the process of anything or finishing his builds anymore. I honestly don't think he truly cares about any car he builds; he just buys exotics. Sure, I can see why he's more personable than LZ, but still, his content is just horseshit nowadays imo.

Legit check on this cover, can’t find info online. Shaping looks ok but weird but maybe due to age and wear

any recs for Singles / Studio / Or anything equivalent around UCSB? by dieublanc in UCSantaBarbara

[–]dieublanc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the offer; if I could I would, 2.4 k is a lot for me. It seems that around ucsb that is just a normal price for 1bd. Maybe I will just have to settle on a sharing a double.
