    Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax on Red CX-5

    Is this the spray on product or the one applied by machine?

    Anyone have this gunk in engine bay and know how to clean it?

    I don’t think anyone has mentioned this already…what about tar and bug remover?

    Circles on my infotainment screen? 2024 CX-5

    Ok. I was confused by your comment before mine. Probably mostly by me not reading it carefully enough. Having applied several glass screen protectors on phones and tablets, and seeing that last photo you posted, it looks like air bubbles trapped under the screen. It could just be air pockets...

    Circles on my infotainment screen? 2024 CX-5

    Wait. So you’re saying that the screen protector had a protective plastic cover that was supposed to be removed once installed? That what was causing the circles?

    Deep scratch on gloss black bumper

    If the strip really is not painted perhaps you can find some way to fill the damage and level it. Than you can use PlastiDip to cover the strip.

    (SOLVED) Neither key fob recognized, 2023 CX-5 won't start, all batteries good

    We’ve all been there. I took my kids when they were younger to a Miami Heat night game and drove my CX-5 to downtown Miami and parked in a sketchy lot. When we got back to the car, I noticed my driver’s side window was not in the same position. I turned the knob to the drivers side and tried...

    2018 CX-5 Android head unit installed

    Nice! I have a 2013 CX-5 and I’ve been looking at different options to get Android Auto on a larger screen than my phone when driving. I’m leaning towards a stand-alone unit that you mount on the dashboard somehow. Drawbacks are: - It will obstruct part of your view or if mounted lower will...

    I made it!

    Or maybe he is trying to show us that he drove 38,808 miles on one tank of gas! 🤯🤯🤯

    I made it!

    Wow! You’re living in the edge, man! I wasn’t that daring but one time I was on the highway rushing to get my kid to marching band practice and it was down to single digits.

    2016 CX-5 Paint on hood not shiny

    If that’s clear coat failure I don’t think it can be corrected besides repainting. It’s just going to get worse. ☹️. The paint on my 2013 is starting to do the same thing but it’s further along. If you run your hand over the spots it’ll probably feel rough.

    2016 CX-5 Paint on hood not shiny

    If you’re waiting because the new car’s paint is “fresh”, keep in mind that it was manufactured weeks or months ago so the paint would have had enough time to cure. You might want to consider a decontamination step with iron remover to eliminate any embedded metal fragments that might be on...

    2013 CX-5 Wonky Intermittent Wipers

    It’s been raining down here all week and finally drove the CX-5 in the rain. With the intermittent wipers set on the lowest setting, it stats of with a pause in between strokes but then after a couple of minutes the strokes are continuous.

    2013 CX-5 Wonky Intermittent Wipers

    The intermittent wiper settings on my 2013 CX-5 have developed a mind of its own. The slow and fast speeds work but when I turn the stalk to one of the intermittent speeds, the wipers do not pause in between swipes. They do turn on and they swipe at a fast speed. Any suggestions on what I can...

    Mystery Substance

    Sounds like a scam. No real value. If your car is stolen and chopped up for parts, you don’t really want it back! From what I take from the info card that OP posted, the only theft deterrence is the sticker they put on the window saying “Stop! This vehicle protected by Dipping Dots”

    Mystery Substance

    Glad you found the answer. Reminds me of the time when I had a company out to clean my carpets and he asked if I wanted the Scotchguard treatment as well. I declined and later on he admitted that it was already in the cleaning solution so you get it whether you pay or not. These Data Dots...
