The stance looked killer. But the car was easy to scrape on driveways and speedbumps. Plus I had major difficulties getting a proper alignment, and the there was suspension noise that no one was ever able to fix. It ended up being an expensive PITA and was one reason why I sold the car. It might...

I forgot to mention the dash cam I installed.

You are aware they make the S650 in manual transmission right? 😉

I generally regard "mods" as performance or mechanical in nature. Like a tune, exhaust, or suspension. Ive done none of that on my S650 and have no plans to. But I have done those things on previous S550s and the only one I regretted was lowering springs from Steeda. The minor functional or...

Modern car paint is baked and cured at the factory. It should not "shrink" over several months after. I can not explain the difference in your paint depth readings over several months months. Ceramic coat and wax upon delivery of a new car is common. Ive never never heard of an issue doing so...

See post #28 "@tankcj - to answer your original question, factory baked finishes can be waxed right away. Spray waxes are a decent short term product for a finish that has already been sealed or treated. By themselves they will look shiney, but won't last long or be that effective in protection.👍🏻"

Now you're talking. 😎

And you should take a detail class and stop being a snowflake ❄️.

Well we all know professional detailers buy their products on Amazon.

Yes. And make sure you rub a dirty rag in a circular motion. You'll be 100% shocked! Trust him, he's been involved with Ferrari! 😉

Copy that. Sounds like the same issue I had then. Mine went south after less than 2 years. 👍🏻

Potential? Lol. Many people buy track cars to use as garage queens. That doesn't mean they aren't track cars. 😉

Oh I know exactly what im talking about. You on the other hand need and education about detailing. I could go put armor all on a Lamborghini and it doesn't make it a great product. I dont give two shits who puts what on a Ferrari in Newport. I can guarantee you wont find that shit anywhere near...

Yes. The battery voltage drops VERY quickly in these cars if they aren't driven much, or only short distances, and or and sit a lot. Not saying thats what happened, I needed a new battery as well, but next time I'd give it a charge and see what happens before replacing. 👍🏻

Its cheap auto zone crap. Spray wax in general is a gimmick. Just because some Ferrari "dealer" in Florida uses doesn't mean its good. Its means they dont know any better. Any professional detailer would question this product and your application process. A proper sealant or topper is light...

My guess is all you needed was a charge from a battery tender. Its well documented these batteries drop below 80% charge and start exhibiting electronics glitches quite easily.

Congratulations on washing your car like a caveman and putting mirco scratches in the clear coat. 🤦 My guess is you would be very surprised to see you car under some detailing lights.

Did you have the battery tested or just replaced?

It's all about proper technique application. Use a folded wet towel and wipe in one direction. Then fold to a clean side and wipe again. Keep repeating until done. Always spray the surface and the towel. NEVER RUB IN A CIRCULAR PATERN. IF the car is excessively dirty, then it should be properly...
