Grocery Shopping with a Subaru BRZ
This is another one for my unofficial mini-series on how much stuff you can fit into a Subaru BRZ.
What all fit in my Subaru BRZ this time?

Wash & C-Quartz Maintenance - Arlington Auto Detailing
I brought my car to Arlington Auto Detailing after towing my
car behind an International diesel truck rented from Penske. This truck put out
a phenomenal amount of diesel soot and completely coated the car.
They did a great job.
I picked them because when I was calling various detailers
in the area none of them had experience with C-Quartz, that responded in a
prompt manner. And since my car was previously coated this experience was
paramount.
I plan to go again the next time I need a car wash or the
next time my car needs a refresh of the C-Quartz. (Unfortunately I did not take
pictures.)
Moving with International TerraStar 22' Truck
For our move from FL to MA we rented a 22' foot International TerraStar from Penske.
This time we hired movers to load in FL and unload in MA. Although we did unload some stuff in PA for my wife as she is still working in northern DE at this time. Our FL packers were great and setup the whole front of the truck to be stuff going through to MA and the back being accessible for what was being unloaded in PA.
Unfortunately I did not take any pictures of the loaded truck or with the trailer attached. But we towed Cagalli Yula for the whole trip on a car carrier (no leaving wheel on the ground with a rear wheel drive vehicle).

Paint Correction and C-Quartz by First Coast Auto Detailing
I brought my car to Jason at First Coast Auto Detailing because another detailer introduced new scratches and swirl into my car’s clear coat.
Jason did a phenomenal job. When he was done the car had no swirl and a very clean clear coat. I also had the car coated with C-Quartz, which at over a month now (service completed on 06/09/2017) is holding up very well. Using the C-Quartz spot detailer, properly diluted, wipes dirt and grime right off leaving a nice shine.
Honestly, I wish I had done the C-Quartz sooner. I am not sure that it would have prevented the rock chips that I find most disappointing (but my car is a 2014, so I did this rather late in the game).
Another great service that Jason offers is that he can / will garage your car in his garage (if needed) in order to make sure that the C-Quartz properly cures. This is importance especially if you do not have your own garage. Other detailers in the area that I consulted in the area who also do ceramic coatings (C-Quartz, Opticoat, etc.) did not have a garage of their own for curing (and were charging more for the service).
I would definitely recommend First Coast Auto Detailing and Jason for your paint correction, car cleaning, and ceramic coating needs. (Unfortunately I did not take any photos.)

Test Drive 2017 Ford Focus SEL
My wife and I had a 2017 Ford Focus SEL as a rental for a day. Unfortunately we did not take any photos or have a camera with us, so, if you want photos you will need to search for them yourself.
