I'm in NE/NJ - not a snow belt, but usually get our fair share of snow/ice. But another reason that I went with the tires I did was that they are way better handling in rain and dry conditions as well as braking (which is about 75-90% of the time) over the dedicated snow tires.

Yep, as you mention summer tires are a big no-no when temps hit that level - maybe even 40's. I am in amazement that any tires could function in temps so far below 0, but glad they obviously do. I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to tires. The tires are a way too often overlooked part of the pie...

True and true. I guess I "lucked out" as my installer Phillip at Detailer's Domain - who provides excellent detailing work, uses Expel and I just recently had him do the front end of my Mazda CX-5 and he used the Expel Ultimate. I am contemplating having him do the doors and will definitely have...

Yes, I was actually referring to "freezing" or hardening of the compounds in the tires that would make them hard as hockey pucks.

I hear you on the rubberized coatings possibly capturing moisture, but I think that's' why they recommend a yearly quick 'inspection"?

Thanks All.

Thanks again for the reviews. But maybe a better question is why use this on the dash or other vinyl surfaces? Wouldn't something like one of the 303 products or a good detailer with UV protection be better/more appropriate?

I'm curious as these are leather coatings. Did you apply any of these to the seats?

We all look to take care of our cars and trucks, but sometimes we may neglect the factor rust plays in limiting the life of the vehicles - particularly with all the salt and chemicals applied on the roads come winter. Are undercoating coatings - Ziebart, Krown, etc, worth it or not?

Around here in the NE USA, February is generally the toughest month weather wise - right smack dab in the middle of winter. Regarding global warming, let's not confuse weather with climate. To those people in the northernmost areas where winter is the coldest, how the heck do you keep your...

Thanks for posting. I would like to see how this holds up over time.

Stunning color and wonderful job! On my last few cars and currently on my CX-5, I have a protective film (XPEL) applied to the hood, front fenders, A columns,door handle cups, back plate of trunk mirrors and front part of hood. Got it done at Detailer's Domain. Phil and crew always do a great...

Well, I agree with the incredible look of that Soul Red Crystal, very impressive in person. But it seems that there is trouble in River City with this paint being so very prone to chipping. Petition * MAZDA Soul Red Crystal Chipping Issue - Recall is need! * Change.org

Happy belated Birthday. I like the dinner - except that I would substitute the Coke for a glass or three of Cabernet Sauvignon or Zin.

Yep, I'm sure. But it's also a way for them to save money on something that very, very few people will notice and even fewer will mind.

Same here - I already have a large PFM as well as a couple of other large drying towels, so I am not in the market, even though these look interesting.

Same here. As an aside, one thing I have noticed is that the actual carpeting (as well as the OEM carpeted mats) are getting thinner, cheaper and cheaper looking. My recently sold 2006 Outback had way thicker/more substantial mats and carpeting throughout than my 2017 Allroad and my 2021...

Agree 100% on the WT's with their raised sides. I like that they are laser fitting to each car. I had All Weather OEM mats on my Audi and their were times the snow hit the carpet. It's also nice to support a company that makes 'em right here in the USA. I just bought their mat protectant, so...

Mike, How would you compare them to the Griot's PFM?

Yes and yes.
