    Rust spots in hood from stone dings on highway.. best repair kit?

    Do cleaning waxes need anything special for them to work? I have only used synthetic sealant and never really used a good old compound wax. Do I need a special type that will buff out rust or anything like you listed help it? Do I need to prep the rust spots at all before waxing?

    (2010) It's a shame the lights dont automatically go on in the dark

    No auto for me on my Touring model. I guess Mazda wants only the upper class who buys the Grand Touring to be able to relax and not turn on their lights. Those of us who have the poor man's model need to turn on our own lights. Separating the haves and have nots. Besides all that.. DRL are...

    (2010) It's a shame the lights dont automatically go on in the dark

    So is someone going to post me a link to a secret code to get the lights to auto switch on in the dark? Having to turn the dial to on every day just to even get day time running lamps is something cars did away with a decade ago. I thought day time running lamps were standard in everything for...

    (2011) It's a shame the doors dont auto lock

    So I was wrong about the year of my car, it's a 2010. Forgot that. Looked in the manual again in the door and lock section, nothing at all about being able to program it with the secret codes.

    Pcv?

    PCV values should be a normal part of any car's maintenance schedule, it never is, but it should be. It's never listed in the books that come with cars because most people never care about PCV valves and have never even heard of a PCV valve. If you plan on keeping the car for a long time, as...

    (2011) It's a shame the doors dont auto lock

    (2010) It's a shame the doors dont auto lock I still forget to lock the doors after having the car for a year.. every other car I have driven in the past many years locks them automatically once you go into drive and start to pull forward. Just a minor gripe, I like the thing so much I dont...

    We have the Weathertech custom fitted front mats in our 2011. They cost a bundle but are better than any floor liner I have used before. Having them fit exactly into your car is awesome, plus they are of super high quality, I dont see the wearing out for a long time.. if ever.

    Car seat in the middle spot?

    Three! I want to survive getting through one first! And even that seems like a whole lot more to me than the zero I currently have. :)

    Car seat in the middle spot?

    Wow, how terrible. The whole reason we bought this car was for an upcoming baby. I didn't know anything about car seat hookups back then, I just figured that all new cars would have the latest safety standards in them. Oops.
