45Degrees today. Decided to do a quick wash.

I use an old Black and Decker 18volt cordless leaf blower. Bought it many years ago just for drying cars

Rich,
I'm old school, been a Griot's customer since they started. Have continually changed products as they've developed new ones. Currently using Best of Show Wash and Wax, and their Poly Wax. Thinking about switching to Ceramic in the future. What do you use?

YIKES!!

Besides looking horrible, I wonder if they have any adverse impact on fuel economy?

They probably waste as much fuel as start/stop saves.

Installed a set of mini window deflectors I got from Madness on their Black Friday sale. About a 20 minute job; it's just been too cold until today. Some not-too-good pics.

There's a thread on here somewhere. Search red start button or something similar. I can't help you because I had dealer install when I bought the car.

 

[johnalfa]

Check with your dealer. Mine sold me the part ($80?), then kindly installed at no cost.

I requested it after negotiating price of the car. Salesman agreed, no charge.

Does your car have the SGW? I've got paddles installed in my 2020 TI, but now I'm waiting for the MES hardware to arrive. Just curious how difficult is activation.

Agree with you 100% about touchscreen. I have it in my 2020 and don't use it. I was used to the rotary knob in my 2018 and just completely forgot about the screen when I got the new car. Probably has something to do with me being old lol.

A few years ago I had a10+ year old can of Fix A Flat explode in the spare tire well of a Honda. That stuff not only went all all over the well, but also blew out around the edges of the trunk cardboard floor. I used lacquer thinner to remove most of the mess. But here were still traces left when I sold the car a few years later. Guess it had an expiration date.
