Hello everyone! I recently purchased a 2014 Sophisto Grey i8 with the Pure Impulse World Im picking it up later today from my detailer who is applying the Stay Fresh Ceramic Coating. I will post pictures of the coating once I pick up the car. So far I'm loving everything about it. Here are some pictures I took earlier in the week. Cant wait to learn more and more about this amazing car.

And you drive it to Tesla every day?
I actually visited Tesla once, and the valet parked my i8 in front of all the other cars. That actually speaks volumes about the company. They make cars because they love them.

I gotta know more about the ceramic coating. How much to get it done? It is all applied by hand, correct? Less washing in the future?

It was $700. Yes, its applied by hand and takes 24 hours to cure. It makes washing the car a lot easier. Water beads off the car so smoothly and bugs just wipe off. Its also applied to the wheels also so brake dust is a breeze to clean. It definitely made the metallic in the paint pop more. I would recommend it.
