It's been one year. I clayed the big horizontal facing surfaces (contaminants, fall out etc) such as Hood, roof, trunk, headlights, bumper, mirrors, glass, and fender tops. Then I re-coated with turtle wax hybrid ceramic spray. super slick again. i'll get to the doors and sides soon (didn't have time to do it all in one go) but they usually get topped up with spray detailers that have protective elements to them. they're still slick feeling.

I took mine to the dealership on Saturday to have a break-in oil change at 1105 miles. I plan to keep this car for at least 250,000 miles, and will go above and beyond the recommended maintenance to do all I can to make it to my mileage goals. it was a pleasant dealership experience, and I will stick with them as long as it is a good experience.

Finally gave my F Sport full throttle. I satisfied with the hp this car has to offer 😁

Finally hit 2K miles. I’ve had the car since May 3rd. At this rate, it’ll take me 10 years to hit 60K 😁

The main problem here is you are NOT in SPORT mode

My job is less than 2 miles away. That’s the main reason my miles are so low. I’ll probably have to change my oil at the 1 year mark every time so the oil won’t get too old.

Must be nice. My mileage varies. But I would say my average daily driving is probably 40-50mi. Great car to be driving in though.

After having had my private plate on retention for 12 years, I finally transferred it to my ES

I polished the 12.3” screen. The anti glare coat was starting to peel off and it looked really bad.

That coat is very fragile and easy to scratch.

lol I just seen your message. I drive in sport + mode every now and then when I want to do a little spirited driving. But that usually doesn’t last very long. I keep it in normal mode. Hey, it’s better than eco 😁
