found a coupon at hyper zpeed, $2288 for car wash/wax and internal/AC cleaning. they might have done some other cleaning but I forgot what they did already.

the job took some time dou, they told me 4 hrs but it ended up taking 5 hrs. they said my beige leather takes more time for treatment compared to black ones...
wow that alot of money for a clean, must take some good photos after so keep.

so is 3m better? anyway, I probably will do the waxing myself this year, better than spending money in the gym to workout. what do you guys recommend for interior leather?
meguier's leather
I got some for ricky1329 from Megabox last time I got the wash & wax for you.

see the pads eat up the rotors now you know why my green stuff eat my oem disk.
so if you change your pads are you going to do the same as me and let the old disk to be eaten, then change to sports 1 or are you getting a new disk and pads change that the same time.
but these red stuff is the old 1s which need to be hot at lest 50c
but the new 1s ebc say they will stop from cold.

for sure I will take what ebc says with a large grain of salt. the prev redstuff material is definitely not suitable for track. what concerns me is that in their email reply to me, they never mentioned how the new material improved, all the guy told me was he put ebc pads on his wifes car, which means nothing to me. for the small price difference, I would prefer yellowstuff over red but will do a bit more reserch on carbotech first b4 deciding. so far I have not seen bad feedbacks and they claim rotor friendly.
