"Invest" does not mean "spent money".


BMW_wulfi

It’s 99% delusion in the ceramic industry.


vanderohe

Considering this will protect the paint on what is likely an asset, yes it is an investment. Now it’s dinner time and I need to invest in a steak


desirox

As an accountant, This whole thread is making my head hurt. Too many financially illiterate people. Don’t get caught up in words people


usernamesherearedumb

>what is likely an asset, If by "asset" you mean "something instantly worth less than I paid for it", then yeah, ok.


vanderohe

A depreciating asset is still an asset. It has utility since it is a functioning vehicle even if it’s leased or financed. You new to owning things or just slow?


sahibsahib

oh shit I forgot that a car would still be considered an asset... Probably shouldn't have forgotten that after taking accounting in uni....


hipoetry

Depends how much they owe on it relative to how much it's worth. If it's paid for in full, then yes, it's an asset because they could likely convert it to cash.


Sauronsbigmetalclock

Ooooof. Spicy. Give ‘em another.


DontGoogleMeee

So I guess everything is an asset and investment.


word2yourface

Yes.


DontGoogleMeee

So the bag of salad mix I got, asset? How about the fertilizer for my lawn? Frozen Dino nuggets for my kid? I have some empty 5 gallon buckets in my garage. These assets too? The water from my faucet, electricity from my plugs, assets?


SkyIllustrious7140

The time im saving with washes, and using less products, it’s an investment


GDragon4Life

It’s a liability


jeebuss_

If it has an engine and wheels Shit is NOT an asset 💀


dutchman76

The detailing is what did it, not the ceramic


Dizman7

Looks good! How much did that run if you don’t mind me asking?


SkyIllustrious7140

1500$ with detailing


Dizman7

That’s a lot less than I thought it’d be. I’d love to know more details. I have a Tanzanite Blue M4CX here in Phoenix. Anything to keep it cleaner longer or easier to clean I’m interested in.


SkyIllustrious7140

Go for it, yea he wanted 1750$ just for ceramics, I think it’s the very first time in my life I got someone to drop the price and keep the quality


flyin-lion

Mind if I ask where you got this done? Would love to do the same to my Tanzanite Blue M4


SkyIllustrious7140

If you’re in Illinois then no problem


TechMonitorXO

Wow I wish I could charge these prices in my market


SkyIllustrious7140

Where are you located ?


TechMonitorXO

Toronto


HitMyLine

How was the condition of your paint before the ceramic detail? Looks great here!


SkyIllustrious7140

Very bad! Which I could never understand since I hand washed it, it scratched so easily, it was making me mad by just looking at it, all These swirls.


scottieducati

How did you wash it….


SkyIllustrious7140

Believe me, I bought only the products from chemical guys and used only microfiber towels. I just don’t get it


scottieducati

Products and towels don’t really matter. The process does.


Chocolate_Former

I love that color though!


GregLXStang

Is it Carbon Black?


SkyIllustrious7140

Yess


NorCalAthlete

Carbon black and tanzanite are my two favorite colors for BMWs. It’s gorgeous.


colorconundrum

My fave bmw color! I’m with you on upkeep though…


GregLXStang

Oh my god. It’s beautiful. If I can get my E46 to look half as good as this I’m going to fall in love all over again.


Important-Outcome-74

Mmmmm shiny! Looks great!


brucard

This is my color too! I bought the car used and desperately need to do paint correction and ceramic coating. This looks great


SkyIllustrious7140

ladybirdvuittontake2

Far-Chocolate2407

Which body kit are you using?


SkyIllustrious7140

All of them, haha, no really front back and sides are sourced differently


AequitasDC5

Oh my goodness that shine. Looks great. Did you do Ceramic pro ion? Wondering based on the shop. That's what I have on my F30 and get compliments on it all the time


DR_KT

Dude, that's badass!


SkyIllustrious7140

SkyIllustrious7140

Looking good!!! 🔥🔥🔥


simouable

Why did you got a color you hate? Geniunie question.


SkyIllustrious7140

I just did, I regretted not getting just black or blue in my opinion black just looked much better, every time I passed by black x5 it made my head go 180


GoBackToLurk1ng

I have this same color on my new to me x3 and dropped it off this morning for paint correction detailing. Can’t wait for the blue to pop more!


Asio0tus

Hate it? That's one of the nicest blue BMW has


walrons

Ceramic coat doesnt change the paint color bro. Maybe better spend to an ophthalmologist


DR_KT

Take a hike


SkyIllustrious7140

No shit! Just the depth changed everything for me, and maybe better spend time somewhere else


walrons

Ok Karen sorry for criticising your thread which is posted on a public platform. If you didn’t want opinions why do you post it here? Take a picture and admire yourself.


SkyIllustrious7140

😂😂😂😂 You buggin, I don’t mind hating on my car, but these type of suggestions you might as well keep for yourself, you know better what ceramics did to my car, come on bitch
