If you have the time, equipment and the energy, you will be amazed at how easy it is to cosmetically maintain a vehicle with a ceramic coating. I put a ceramic coating ( Armor Shield IX @$75 ), and went the extra step of a two stage polish on my 2015 Crosstour and it is nothing short of spectacular. I just pressure spray it with water alone and it comes sparkling clean. I did go an extra step and applied 303 Graphene Nano coating over the ceramic. The 303 ought to last 2 years and the ceramic ought to last 2 years after that. Hell, I'll be in a recliner bed in a nursing home by the time I need to re-seal it.

My 2015 Crosstour is in need of clay bar cleaning and ceramic coating. You reminded me that I was considering hiring a young man in my CA neighborhood to do that the next time I'm there. The stabilizer bar and parts that you so kindly listed for me, were delivered to my house in January and I plan to get them installed in March, when I'm there again.

If you ever needed a reason not to trust an auto dealer you should read this. Its very long and I didn't read it word for word but it does have a nice ending.

I'm a little behind - so back to the key thing. For those with a Civic, what bugs me most is this...
Go out, start the car, put the key in pocket and head back in to get ready for work while the car is warming up. It won't let me lock the door. So the car sits running, unlocked in my driveway. It does beep to remind me of course.
Sure, if someone got in, they could only drive it until they turned it off, but still.
Am I missing something in regards to locking it while running? Maybe I have to be farther away then hit lock on the fob?
