What have you done to your CX-5 today?

Latest little maintenance step: Battery terminal cleaning.

Got rid of the minor corrosion, neutralized the acids, put on a pair of anti-corrision felt discs. Used a spray-on protectant on the terminals and cable ends, once the cables were reconnected.

'16 2.5L NA, 80,400m. Changed spark plugs (NGK); Cleaned throttle body. Not completely satisfied as there was carbon buildup that was caked on the back. Did the best I could with cleaner and rags. Probably could have done a better job with a toothbrush, but didn't have one handy.

Did the ghost touch repair. (disconnected the ribbon) and put new panels over the scratched piano black on the center console and door cards.

Is that an actual plastic replacement or some adhesive-backed decal?

I bought my cx-5 2021 GT this week and it came fully detailed but I spent time to coat all my rubber seals with silicone spray.....

.....and then I stood back, took a look and smiled a long while! Great car so far and missed owning a Japanese made car!

Can you list what those seals are?

They are a plastic covers. You just stick them over the scratched panels. If something happens and you need to open up the area for maintenance or a repair you will have to pop them up. No big deal they are cheap.
