    Re: From "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!

    From the logs I've seen it's certainly not for the faint of heart. Total gibberish to me, but I've seen conversations on forums where a couple really smart people pick out bad values in minutes and...

    Re: From "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!

    Are there any Hyundai enthusiasts in the Chicago area or a shop that might be able to help you with doing some data logging?

    When I've followed people in the past who've started chasing issues...

    Re: Wheel ceramic affect wheel weights?

    The couple times I've done it I don't think I had to resort to an eraser wheel. I plastic razor blade removed the big chunks of adhesive tape and then I used a little 3M adhesive remover to clean up...

    Re: Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    I really hope this thing sells like crazy and drives other automakers to do something similar.

    Making an electric car fast is a child's play these days. The real challenge is to make it actually...

    Re: From "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!

    Interesting. I've never heard of that before. 2500~3500RPM would be right in the middle of steady state highway speeds in fifth or sixth gear. Anyone not hooning would probably land right in that...

    Re: From "stay tuned" to T U N E D !!

    There is something about the air density at 60~70F that puts engines in their "happy place". My turbo'd cars seemed to run their best at about 65F and my N/A car now is really happy at 70F.

    Re: Wheel ceramic affect wheel weights?

    Do tire shops even use clip on weights for non-commercial vehicles any more? I can't say I've seen a clip on weights anywhere for a very, very long time. Many of the wheel designs don't really lend...
  8. Re: Cleaning brand new tires before first dressing?

    This is my method of new tire prep too. I let nature run it's course to let the mold release agents and any rim lube used by the tire shop wear off. I don't think I' let them go two months, but do...

    Re: Elixir streaking

    It is true. The wording of my response probably wasn't the best. I just didn't find Elixr to be less hydrophobic than CQUK; it seemed to be equal.

    The only non-coating ceramic products I've...

    Re: Elixir streaking

    I never had it worsen the water behavior either when I used it on CQUK 3.0, but that shouldn't make any difference. In fact, I never noticed any change in water behavior at all before/after...

    Amazing work. How long did it take? I'm not sure I'd have the patience to take on something that big.

    Re: First grass cot of the season.

    It's only in the Spring. Our yard has this bluegrass/fescue stuff that goes nuts when it's cool and wet. Several years ago when we'd get rain 2~3 a week in the spring I'd be mowing every four day...

    Re: First grass cot of the season.

    I've had to cut mine a couple times by now. In years past I'd be mowing every four days or so, but it's been so dry here this winter and spring I only have to worry about it every 7~8.

    I actually...

    Re: BMW Cerium Grey Wheels

    Griots Garage Wheel Cleaner (the green one) is a really mild wheel cleaner and does a great job on that sticky BMW brake dust. When I owned a 435 MSport, it easily cleaned up the wheels.

    Re: Over ceramic coating topper

    I think any boosting ability is seen towards the end of a coating's life. I've used Carpro Elixr, ECH2O, Gyeon Cure and Ceramic Detailer, and now Armour Detail Amplify. On a fresh coating I could...

    Re: Original Wolfgang Paint Sealant

    The Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant is very runny/thin. It will separate but a few good shakes will mix it all together. The consistency doesn't seem to affect performance or ease of application.

    I think the pad count will vary based on the type of work being done and the paint.

    If the car is in bad shape, you'll certainly need more cutting than polishing for the initial correction. Once...

    Re: Waterless wash/quick detail

    What dilution gives you streaking with ECH2O? I never experienced anything like that and I typically use a 1:20 or maybe a little thinner dilution as a quick detailer.
