    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    Seats seem to be really personal and the more bolstering and shaping it only makes them harder to fit properly across a wider range of body shapes. The leather sport seats seats in the MK6 GTI were the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in; almost felt like they were molded for my body...

    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    8" seems to be pretty standard for most mainstream SUV's. I was helping my oldest daughter shop for cars last year and she and my son-in-law were looking from something with just enough clearance for them to take some dirt roads to the hiking tailheads they frequent in the mountains. Nothing...

    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    I could see that depending on where you live. In my area, I can easily get around in my BRZ with good tires and it's 5" of clearance. They take good care of our roads. My daughter however lives in the suburban Denver area and there are several times this winter she's needed every inch of the...

    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    They should put those tires and that slight lift on the Ioniq 5N and you'd have a true spiritual successor to the Group B rally cars of the '80's! It would be competitive with the new 911 Dakar and WAY cheaper...and useful if you want to haul stuff and people. The Ford Mach-E Rally is a...

    Cquartz UK and SIC coverage

    CQUK is a good coating and more durable than Pure from my experience using both. I've used CQUK many times for years and easily got three years out of one coat with no need for something like SiC or any other consistent topper application. The 10ml is really not much more than a sample...

    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    The EV6 is a lot more practical from a packaging standpoint than the Ionic 6. The sloping roofline and rear area really cuts into interior space and cargo/trunk room. I actually like the lower ground clearance on the Ionic 5 and EV6. Neither of those vehicle were intended to be off-roadable...

    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    Great looking car. I think Hyundai is building the best looking EV's on the market.

    ADS Ghost tire coating...real world durability and looks!

    I wonder if the browning is from something else other than heat. A tire running at a steady state even at highway speeds should not get too hot if properly inflated. It will get warmer than the vehicle sitting still, and ambient temps/surface temps will have an effect as well, but I'd still...

    Products for Matte Black Plastic?

    What type of a product are you looking for? Just something to clean up the bike or are you looking for a sealant to protect the paint? My bicycle is a matte gray finish and I've used McKee's 37 Matte Finish Cleaner and Protectant on it for a few years. It hasn't messed up the finish and the...

    2019 BMW i8 / Ultimate Exterior Detail 🌴 A Miracle Detailing

    Looks amazing. I saw one this weekend and they still turn my head every time I see one despite being out of production for years. Such a cool design.

    Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

    It does. I also thought about the Renault Clio V6. I'm all about hot hatches and I think this would be a great way to deliver a fun to drive EV, something the market really needs.

    DRIVE with Jim Farley Podcast

    I think it all depended on the cable TV provider and the channels they carried. When we first moved back around 2003, we couldn't get any of it in the area where we lived. Eventually we got Top Gear, but 5th Gear was always a challenge.

    Griots silicone-free detailer

    I wonder too how much they will sell. You'll probably get the folks that like it as a drying aid or a clay lube, but it does seem to be splitting hairs in an already full product line. I like some of the specialist products, but I know I'll never much of them. I have a bottle of their Track...

    I'm going to jump into the World of Coatings

    I found the same. Diluting it 1:1 with water helped, but it was still tricky. It's the main reason I quit using it. If you're able to get it right it looks amazing, but not worth the hassle to me. The Ceramic Detailer is a bit better, but still somewhat prone to streaking as well. I'm not...

    Carpro lite & Gliss vs. Gyeon Pure Evo

    If durability is your main goal, I would go with Mohs EVO over Pure EVO. I'm running them side-by-side on my personal vehicles and I'm on my second application of Pure EVO. Gyeon is pretty fair with their estimation of Pure EVO lasting 2 years. On my daily-driver car I noticed the water...

    Post-winter clean up on the EN...Labocosmetica & ADS crushed it!

    With the discussion I had to go look up this magical applicator. When I was looking at the photos I found it pretty funny they show someone applying P&S's coating to the applicator and not one of their own. It's really obvious it's not an ADS bottle! Overall it looks like a nice applicator...

    DRIVE with Jim Farley Podcast

    When I was looking at the picture and read the name I was struggling to remember where I knew if from and then I read your comment about 5th Gear. What a great show. When we lived in the UK I was able to watch both Top Gear and 5th Gear each week. Great times with such good car content we...

    Griots silicone-free detailer

    Would this be an alternative to Speed Shine/Speed Shine Ceramic for those who want a cleaning product that doesn't leave anything behind like their other two products? If I was going to get hyper-specific with my products I could see a use for it. I keep a bottle of QD in my kit of stuff I...

    I'm going to jump into the World of Coatings

    You've already got plenty of answers on most of your questions, but I can anwer the Eraser question for certain: yes it will work. Eraser is my go-to panel prep and I've used with coating from three different brands, to include an application of Gyeon Mohs EVO; it worked just fine.

    What's With the $150 Coatings All of a Sudden?

    No way I would pay that much. I have a hard time swallowing $70 for that tiny bottle of product as it is, but I tell myself this is a hobby and it will last several years, so just roll with it. I wonder if it is a marketing ploy to create a perception of high quality. The stuff probably...
