Congratulations! Hope to see you and your car around soon.

FISH22 · 02-25-2023, 12:48 PM

CaptBoaty nice, congrats on the purchase!

Is this the one from CF? If so, let me know if you’re looking for Yas sport seats.. I’ve been looking for Yas buckets for almost two years now.

It is and thank you! The car got a lot of attention and there were three others trying to buy it while I signed the papers.
I am going to give these buckets a shot for a while but will let you know if my wife and I get tired of them…lol

What products are you using on the Frozen paint?

Of course and no worries! Frozen white & Yas make for an incredible combo.

Man, I can preach for hours on frozen maintenance. I have been using mostly Dr Beasley’s for the last 2 years. For context, my frozen white G80 has just over 16k miles, and nearly two years old, I’m the original owner and it’s my daily, so it’s been exposed to everything.

First couple weeks of ownership I applied the Dr Beasley’s matte ceramic pro kit. And it has held up extremely well and has most definitely protected the paint from staining.

The key with frozen is to not rub the paint. Use lots of foam during wash and only use matte specific products (no gloss enhancers). Check out Dr Beasley’s:

I’m out of town for work, but will be back March 7th. Pretty sure the Chesapeake cars and coffee is the Saturday after I get back. Would love to talk your ear off on what I’ve learned with frozen.

I will definitely be at the Chesapeake cars and coffee. Look forward to meeting you and learning all the specifics with keeping this car clean!

Always better to head to an event in a group. Let me know where and I will be there.

Sounds like a plan!

JDUNITNOW · 02-28-2023, 07:17 PM

Man I can't wait for this. I've been a little jealous seeing other cities with big numbers.

FISH22 · 03-08-2023, 07:15 AM

Weather is looking a bit better for Chesapeake C&C this Saturday; just windy and maybe chilly.

There’s a Starbucks we can meet at right down the road, then drive to the spot together.

That’s right.

940 Cedar Rd
Unit 101
Chesapeake, VA 23322

Maybe we can all meet there around 730.

Are we still on for the 18th? Hopefully I can get my group together and meet up for that date. My wife has appointment for that date but I'm trying to get it rescheduled. Don't want to miss this for anything weather permitting.

Yes, still on for the 18th.

I'm in for the 11th C&C Chesapeake. It may be cold and windy, but it shouldn't be raining. As for the Williamsburg meet up, we'll make the call sometime next week. Right now the weather pattern doesn't look great, but hopefully things shift/clear up.

FISH22 · 03-10-2023, 09:27 AM

CaptBoaty is this you?

Figured you were in one of the stores. I didn’t want to go full stalker and sit there waiting for you, lol.

FISH22 · 03-10-2023, 03:47 PM

For anyone interested in meeting up before Chesapeake Cars and Coffee tomorrow, we’ll be meeting at 0730 at the Cedar Rd Starbucks:
