No, I haven't gone that route yet. I'd hate to swap brake pads right now. They car had 5100 miles on it when I bought it. I've probably put 600-700 on it myself. The brakes are in great shape, so I won't be changing pads until it's time. I'll consider ceramic pads when the time comes.
I go to the Brown Bear Car Wash a few times a year and use the scratchy brush and/or drive through
If you change from organic to ceramic pads, you'll want either new rotors or bead blast the ones you've got. You'll need to remove the old pad material from the rotors or you'll lose a ton of performance.
when I get around to it, I have my car detailed because I can. My cars also a piece of shit so I’m more concerned with the inside being spotless which is tough with heathens. Fucking pollen is real in the upstate so between details it’s through the car wash for the skittles smelling enjoyment.
My car looks like the domicile of a homeless person
I used to be pretty into it when I did sales.
Now no one sees it and I just get it washed whenever.
Although I don’t eat or anything in it so it’s pretty clean usually

I'm in clean-car hell right now…a couple weeks ago, a fine, upstanding resident of my county was following me as I pulled up to a stoplight on a state road / HWY. I felt a rather large bump, looked into the rear view, nothing was there. I pulled over, hit the hazards, and got out.
40 yards behind me was a mid-80's Bronco (junker), with the driver in the middle of the road, picking up the front left tire / wheel from his chariot, which collided with my back bumper. At least he had insurance. Now, I look at my car in disgust, and DGAF about cleaning it. New bumper incoming, then I will clean it…csb
Cleans good. Didn’t get the sunscreen stains out of the Toyota though. Interestingly enough our Audi vinyl doesn’t stain from sunscreen even after it being left in place for days.

Just seeing this now. I bought one of those buckets with the grit guard from Chemical Guys recently. Haven't had a chance to use it yet.

The nerd in me says put down some painters tape so you can have a clean line for before/after comparison.

Last Wednesday, I had the car ceramic coated. Looks so much better and it's staying clean.
Since I'm back on the bored for now, figured I'd poast a fupdate.
Avoid guest houses in Iran bro

What material is that sunscreen on?
I had that gross kids zinc sunscreen stained on the plastics at the tailgate of our Telluride and they cleaned up pretty quickly.
I'll send you a pic
