New Car Maintenance

[StormHawk42]

I’m picking up a brand new car on Monday. Not gonna let the dealer sucker me into all the care packages and other crap but seeing as this is my first car that I’ll actually care about, I really want to take care of it.

What kind of maintenance is worth the initial investment? Ceramic coating I assume? Tinting?

 

[Moral]

Undercoating, tint, fuzzy steering wheel cover.

Annual service on the fetzer valves.

Ask a mechanic you trust.

You can negotiate that stuff if you want it. We have purchased extended warranties on the last few vehicles we’ve purchased ( also negotiable).
I’m a bit more of a no on all that stuff but my wife likes them so whatever.

 

[Doodads and Hoohah]

Don't fall for all that stuff. Just follow the manufacturer recommendations for maintenance.

I guess I shouldn’t have said maintenance. I’m more talking the detailing stuff to keep the car looking nice for awhile.

I think you should go with this lettering and tassles. It keeps thieves away. I know moral is a believer in the fuzzy steering wheel, but I think the chain steering wheel is the way to go.

People who add aftermarket tint are total douchebags.

I actually enjoy waxing and detailing my cars.

People that give a shit about other people tinting their windows are twat waffles.

Almost 10 years ago undercoat included regular reapplication if needed on a Ford.
