    Re: Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    That would be pretty interesting since the US EPA rates the range for the i5N at 221 miles, which is often a bit optimistic.

    Overall though, if they didn't do those drag pulls all day long it...

    Re: My 1st legit wheel cleaning disaster…

    I noticed that too. Before even reading the text in the post, my eye caught that passenger side wheel and noticed something not looking quite right. The finish doesn't look right.

    Re: Brake Dust on Wheels?

    Glad the mystery was solved.

    What color was the material on the wheels? In the pictures it looked silver or gray, but I couldn't tell if it was just the flash on the camera washing out the...
  4. Re: Griot's Garage Backing Plate Engagement Hooks

    I can't compare to any Rupes machines, but I have no issues with the backing plate on my G8 or G15. Plenty of holding power with the pads I've used. I use Griots pads on my G8 and Rupes and LC pads...

    Re: Steering Wheel Product Suggestion

    A Scrub Ninja isn't mandatory, but it would speed things up. I use one of my older MF towels that has lost most of its softness. Probably not as good, but it works. The other thing to think about...

    Re: Steering Wheel Product Suggestion

    A lot of good advise so far. One thing I'm wondering is how much product are you using? Too much product may end up saturating the leather and excess just sits on the surface and makes it slippery....
  7. Re: what's the last car care/detailing video you've just watched?

    Good to know. I seem to struggle with the area between the center console and front passenger seats. On some SUV's it's a long way down and the seat frame prevents you from getting that area at...

    Re: Coating recommendation

    I'm really a fan of the Gyeon products right now. Mohs EVO is very easy to apply though Pure EVO might look better on dark blue. Will this be your first coating application of this type? If so, my...

    Re: My 1st legit wheel cleaning disaster…

    A quick Google search pulled up an old post from here at AG and it's mentioned Brown Royal has a PH of 10 or 12. That's really high on the basic side of the scale. So technically it is non acid,...
  10. Re: what's the last car care/detailing video you've just watched?

    I like that kit. I need a crevice tool that's slimmer than the one my shop vac came with and the long hose would be handy. The only bummer with the HF kit in the video is it doesn't come with a...

    Re: Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    Same on the window tint. I haven't had a car tinted in a long time and don't know what the going rate is these days.

    As for the door edge guards and cup protection, I found rolls of the stuff...

    Re: Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    The package isn't the worst as a whole, but their itemized list is pretty laughable. $299 for nitrogen in the tires and green valve stem caps? Costco will do it for free when you buy tires from...

    Re: My 1st legit wheel cleaning disaster…

    That's pretty wild. Based on how this played out, I'd say the finish was toast before they truck every came into your possession.

    Did you touch/feel the wheels when they were dry before...

    Re: Carpro Darkside; blotchy, streaky??

    How thick is DarkSide?

    One thing I've noticed now that I've used Optimum Tire Gel and Griots Ceramic Tire Dressing, is its really hard to get a good even look with the thicker products. For me,...

    Re: When do you Leather Condition

    My rule of thumb is at least twice a year. The product I use is a combination leather cleaner and conditioner, so the leather gets conditioned every time I think I need to deep clean the leather. ...

    I found the statement about not washing the truck in sunlight kinda funny. Reminded me of the old Gremlins movie..."don't feed them after midnight and don't get them wet!" Those instructions are...

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

    In the VW/Audi world the DCT's are much more durable than the manuals. The OEM clutches in those cars seem to be designed for stock power/torque and tuning leads to premature clutch plate wear on...

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Spent some time Friday evening giving it a good wash for Cars and Coffee the next morning. Even swapped out the all weather floor mats for the carpeted ones now that winter is behind us.

    Agree it does sound like he's playing defense. It is interesting the YouTube reviewer also mentioned issues with this tune, so it can't be that uncommon. Hard to say how widespread the issues may...

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

    Sadly, after everything you've shared, I think he's right. Other than the grounding and the whole knock sensor problem, many of the issues may point back to the tune.

    Ah. OK. He was referring to a custom tune vs and off-the-shelf tune. I had totally forgotten about the custom work.






    I think this has a lot to do with the platform and the volume of...

    What does he mean by a "dyno tune"? Does he mean an ECU software tune?

    Interesting there seems to be issues with a couple brands and their tunes. I can't help but wonder if this is all due to...

    I've not seen them, but if they are similar to the pads I once used from Harbor Freight many years ago, one of the biggest differences is durability. Those pads would start to fall apart after only...

    Re: Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    Yeah, a car like that is not cheap to develop or build.

    From a potential competitor standpoint, the price might not be too far off. It's pretty close in price to the BMWi4, way more than a...
