Took the 5BW to the dealership for its second oil change. Of course, no tire rotation on these cars due to different size tires. Price was a little over $200 bucks , but I had a coupon for $20 bucks off, so I used it. Here's what I'm not happy about. The car only has 3400 miles on it. Did the first free oil change at 1500 as the "break in " oil change. Now less than 2000 miles later the computer is telling me that I had 10% left in oil life. I don't beat the car like a rented mule and I only got 1900 miles since the last one. The tech did appreciate my Fumoto Valve. He didn't have to worry about crossing threads and less mess. I was going to use my GM points to pay for it, but the service manager asked for my "member number" and I didn't have it. Now I know. I did order a rubber trunk mat using the points when I go to pick it up Saturday. I will have my number ready then. I also asked if they have mud guards for the 5BW's and he said that he checked the computer and couldn't find anything. Does anyone know if the regular CT5 or CT5-V mud flaps will fit or not ?

I too played with my foam cannon and then coated the car with a basic wax/si02 coating

Went ikea bookshelf shopping in my blackwing. Who said it’s not practical enough

Finally got my car today: Ceramic tints, Matte PPF and ceramic coating was done. And installed the battery charger/maintainer (thank you all for the help). Will install weather floor mats tomorrow

and 2 hours later there was a huge bird poop on the hood.

I find my iPhone camera makes my car look reddish, which is kind of cool because my first color of choice was the Radiant Red Tintcoat

@Mikey_hux ....I have to be honest. I'm not a big fan of matte paint or matte PPF, but that looks incredible. All I can say is WOW!! I love it!

It's been a busy week or so. Last weekend, off to Poor-sha's "garage" (haha) for a custom 4-wheel alignment. Results: a good compromise between street and track.

This past week: to the dealer for a brake and differential fluid flush now that I've finally passed the 1500 mile mark. Then today, I briefly channeled my inner waxer and put a coat of Zaino All-in-One, then a coat of their polish, then a spray-on enhancer:

Next on the list: get a set of Cup 2s mounted on the used 5BW wheels I bought from someone on this site, and get ready for my first track day.

 

[Yalferd]

I used to be a huge Zaino fan, good to see they're still around. Your car came out gorgeous

Thanks for the photos! I'm deciding between Weathertech and the Cadillac all weather mats. I can get the Cadillac ones for a lot cheaper if I use all my Cadillac Rewards points.
