    iOS 9.2 and Bluetooth issues

    I must be lucky... I had my old iPhone paired and removed it. Maybe I'll unpair and then re-pair my new phone. I'll problem solve a little more - just thought I'd ask to see if anyone had experience the same issue.

    iOS 9.2 and Bluetooth issues

    I just got an iPhone 6s Plus and installed iOS 9.2. I notice at the start of song a subtle glitchy crackle noise (it's very brief) and then the song play time status bar stays stuck on 0:00. My iPhone 5c did just fine with iOS 9.1. So is this a 6s issue, iOS 9.2 issue or a me issue? Anyone else...

    So annoyed...

    I am management ;) the building owner will get the email and the building owners already know me as "that guy" after my campaign to ban their use of huge adhesive parking citations that could only be removed with special removal compounds. I kept a bottle of this goo gone stuff in my office just...

    So annoyed...

    Spent the last couple weeks getting my new cx-5 ready for winter. Wax, trim protectant, aquapel... Then today they decide to put down new barkdust at the office I work at... http://imgur.com/a/YJmvn Entire car is coated in very fine bark dust... Someone is about to get a very pissy email

    Anyone ever use...

    I've gotten more compliments on the color of my car than anything else. I love how the color tends to fluctuate between grays and golds and browns. I saw their special shiny red color (not sure on the official name) the other day - I think it was the first red car I wouldn't mind driving! Well...

    Here are a few pics I snapped after work. It has been very dusty and pollen-y the last couple days but it still has a nice sexy shine! Eagle One FTW!

    Meguiars ultimate protectant help

    I think those are the same just different quantities. The labels are different from the version they sell in the US I'm guessing. As for my issue... I reapplied the MUP. I keep a spray bottle of water with my detailing supplies and misted it onto a very soft cotton terry towel and buffed over...

    Even without the free 3 pack of microfibers autozone was doing for 8 bucks you couldn't ask for more. I put it on my cx-5 a couple days ago and was driving that evening in low light and loved how it looked in my side mirrors. Just this beautiful, deep and wet shine. Looks great on the plastic...

    Meguiars ultimate protectant help

    Yeah I think I will use 303 on the rest. I'm not too worried about interior uv damage - I'm sure my windows provide plenty of protection.

    Meguiars ultimate protectant help

    I had used a applicator pad. It's not terrible and you can't tell unless it's under direct sunlight. I might just use 303 on the rest of the interior. I did try the ultimate protectant on the exterior plastic and used a fine cotton cloth to buff it and it looks perfect. I might try the same...

    Meguiars ultimate protectant help

    I want a good interior protectant so I decided to try it out. I always do a test before going all out so I did the back passenger side door. It looks amazing in low lighting but then the direct sunlight hits and I noticed it's a little streaky. Anyone use this before? I followed the brief...

    What impressed me the most is how it looks on trim/plastic. I think it just dethroned meguiars as my favorite spray wax. Nicely done eagle one!

    Anyone ever use...

    ... Eagle one nanowax spray? Autozone had a deal where you got a 3-pack of their 80/20 microfibers (which are among my favorite store brand MFTs) if you bought a bottle. So I did and tested out on my GFs car. I gotta say... I'm impressed. I've never used eagle one before. I'm generally a loyal...

    Good wax routine for a titanium flash paint job?

    Hahahahaha seriously! She spent 80 bucks on a new bra the other day but I get chewed out for ordering a $25 license plate frame on Amazon. Hell it took me months just to get the green light to buy a new high-quality set of socket wrenches. And I probably spend just as much time on her car as I...

    Good wax routine for a titanium flash paint job?

    Hahaha my gf was right too but I'll never admit it to her! a year or so ago she accidentally mixed my dirty microfibers with regular laundry. hot water, hot drying, the fancy fragrant detergent she likes, dryer sheets.... My poor microfibers were destroyed. They got demoted to household cleaning...

    Good wax routine for a titanium flash paint job?

    Aquapel is hard to find but I found a buy one get one free deal online which is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I always put painters tape over my trim or the edges of trim when waxing but that's good to know about meguiars ultimate! now I'm kicking myself for not buying a pack of...

    Good wax routine for a titanium flash paint job?

    Yeah I think I still have a thing of meguiars quik spray wax but I should probably invest in a new bottle. I probably do heavy duty full-blown waxings every 2-3 months - or at least that's what I've done with all my previous non-beater cars. I bought an 86 Toyota minivan/party-mobile in high...

    Good wax routine for a titanium flash paint job?

    Once again you guys are amazing with the info. I love meguiars and have always used them in the past but I've noticed different makes of cars have different quirks. I've read all the forums and watch all the YouTube vids - I just wanted the final bit of info to come with other cx-5 owners. This...

    Good wax routine for a titanium flash paint job?

    Thank you so much! I don't use dish soap anyway except for soaking my dirty microfiber before washing. I need to find a really good lint-free microfiber. any suggestions for that? I'll probably polish the roof. I think the dealer must have run it through a pretty brutal box washer because it's...

    Good wax routine for a titanium flash paint job?

    So I want to wax my new cx-5 before the weather turns to crap. I want to do a proper job too and I'm willing to spend more for the best products and tools. So, what sort of wax routine do you guys do - wash, prep and wax. What products do you use? What products would you recommend for the...
