    New CX-5; 655 miles. Looking for tips on initial wax, care, etc.

    mebe it reads like a "Maguiars commercial" because Meguiars products are used by many commercial shops; they were bought out by 3M recently, and 3M is the other biggie, so added together that is very likely the majority of commercial users I prefer to buy from a firm that employs a lot of...

    2017~2025 How bright are your 2018/2019 headlights?

    Thx for the article - it seems familiar. There is certainly some part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is unaffected by fog... we just need to incorporate a beam of it, and sensors, into autonomous vehicles. I've driven in really bad, bad fog (worst was not in the PNW where I live now, but...

    2017~2025 How bright are your 2018/2019 headlights?

    BTW, this is not a theory but the result of testing by MB some years ago they weren't using Mazda or moden headlights of course, and if you want you fog lights you can keep your fog lights

    New CX-5; 655 miles. Looking for tips on initial wax, care, etc.

    New CX-5; 655 miles. Looking for tips on initial wax, care, etc.

    Wax does not take the water marks off b/c it is not designed to do so I suggest you go to the Meguairs web site and ask a product specialist - I suspect they will tell you to use a mild abrasive in the red bottle "Body Scrub" or whatever has superseded that. As someone who went to grad. school...

    the downside to using fogs with high beams is they tend to focus your attention closer to the car - you want it as far down the road as possible exception for cornering maybe

    Just purchased Crys Soul Red CX-5 Sig. What paint sealer or wax aftter first wash?

    yes, wash only for now - what climate conditions are you expecting before Oct.? the worst things for any paint are rock chips and bird droppings - no wax can do much for those as the uric acid in bird droppings will eat thru it; you need to monitor and flush with water asap

    Just purchased Crys Soul Red CX-5 Sig. What paint sealer or wax aftter first wash?

    I would do NOTHING until the paint fully cures. One guy one here had a dealer cut all the way thru his paint with a buffer - I suspect that may have happened because it was too new... When you do it, Meguiars' Ultimate is xlnt. and is not really a wax.

    Preemptive Rust proofing and prevention

    I 2nd the Fluid Film there used to be huge debates on whether to wash/flush out the salt & debris or leave it alone - never really resolved but the idea is that flushing it out just left deep crevices in the car wet - this was in the 1980s & concerned german sports cars 3rd issue - I would not...
