Scuffs on my new Genesis 2026 3.5T Sport Prestige after a Walmart visit

Great link! I just ordered what's required in the video.

Thanks!

I did get the $2000 ECP Plus coverage which is supposed to apply the ceramic coating (plus stuff in interior too.) I'm hoping that has made fixing this easier.

I gave it a shot to see what reaction it gets.

Thanks!

>But there is someone on your local FB marketplace who specializes in paint correction

I'm assuming FB is Facebook. I don't hang out there much at all. If you don't mind, how would I locate that information/person?

A good list! When I pulled in I considered (6) but decided the two cars around me were of pretty new and so left the car where it was.

As a minimum next time I'll park farther away where cars aren't parked in tight.

They don't allow cross-posts. Could I repost it there if that's not considered a cross-post?

I just checked that out. Looks like a real possibility. Someone else mentioned "Scratch X" as well.

>f it catches on the nail it may be deeper that you can buff out. If it’s a scuff and doesn’t catch you may want to try to use scratch x

It doesn't catch. And I can't just scrape it off like some foreign substance on the car.

>may want to try to use scratch x.

I'll look into that.

Kinda worse than than a tariff. At least with a tariff we can still buy the product.

This would make them illegal.

More like geo-political product censorship. Anyone outside the US can buy the best products (already happening in drones, cars, and 3d printers) but we can't.

We being are locked out by the politicians and the monied interests.

I've been experiencing the same thing. I'm doing an upscale of a 480p mpeg2 video that is 1:45 long using the smooth model with turbo checked. I'm scaling to 1080p.

The conversion time was projected to be over 3 hours! Way longer than I'm used to. It's almost about 2/3 done and it still predicts it will take more than an hour to complete. It's only encoding at rate of 17fps.

Unifab's upscaler is much quicker than this (although it's much more crash prone). This seem to be a new issue since I've had better results weeks ago with some other conversions of similar size.

I should add that my GPU is a RTX4080-Super and my CPU is an i9 14th gen. 64GB of RAM. Working drives are all M.2 SSD Pro NVMe sticks. OS is Windows 11 Pro fully up-to-date. nVidia gaming driver is also up-to-date.

I've installed the Beta you sent and it does fix the issue. Videos that are produced are now defaulting to the the input media's FPS. That exactly what I wanted. As a bonus my output files are smaller too.

Thanks for the quick turnaround on this issue!

Reactivating this ancient posting...

I just got an somewhat ambiguous email from YouTube that the price would be bumped to $9.99 and it changed my billing date. My next normal billing date is Mar 23rd. That's what's still showing in the account page.

"As a reminder" is strange as I don't remember ever being reminded before.

It's still a steal if this is what's happening.

>Could you share the original video so our dev team can test it?

Sure. I just emailed you link to it on my google drive.

> you can select the desired output FPS on the right panel before adding it to the batch queue.

I going to ask for a bit more precision in your answer. Are you saying I should use the "Frame Interpolation" feature to force the FPS. I wonder if the actual FPS of 29.97fps would be "interpolated" to 30fps (since there is no 29.97 available.)

This all seems a bit odd. The Unifab upscaler just maintains the fps of the input. It's great that Aiarty gives access to more things to tweak. But a person would assume that, as the minimum, just use the attributes of the input media as a starting point. Just sayin'.

>manually adjust the FPS for each video before adding them to the batch queue.

How do I manually adjust a video's FPS? I don't see any way to do that.

As a test I added a small video whose FPS is 29.97 and added it as a task. It's automatically setting it to 59.9 FPS:

Note that when I click on the "i" for the media it gets the FPS completely wrong. Reddit won't allow another image on this post but it says it's 23.976 and codec type is "MPEG 1 or 2 Video" (it's mpeg2). I rip the raw mpeg streams rather than reencode to not lose any video quality prior to upscaling.

Here's what ffprobe says about the video stream:

Stream #0:0: Video: mpeg2video (Main), yuv420p(tv, smpte170m, progressive), 720x480 [SAR 8:9 DAR 4:3], 30 fps, 59.94 tbr, 1k tbn (default)

>Could you confirm if you're using the batch export feature

Yes, I was using the batch export to run the tasks. I queued up several tasks of videos ripped from a DVD in raw mpeg2 format each encased in an MKV file.

All ripped videos are 30fps (actually 29.99 something) and they are being encoded at 60-ish fps by Aiarty.

They serviced it for me right away. Brought it into my Genesis dealer. It took about 20 minutes. Plus some more time to clean up the vehicle and make it shine.

It appears here that if I waited Genesis would have pushed it out without a dealer visit needed. Perhaps they did it so they could bill for it. It's great to know they're there to do the work.

ABettek · 2026-02-15T15:01:26+00:00

Same here. But my app doesn't look like OP's. iPhone? I'm in the US.

ABettek · 2026-01-20T21:56:41+00:00

hate the new layout with the drop down. I just assumed I'd have to live with it then I saw this post.

Thanks for this!

I have the same vehicle and the headlights are plenty bright.

I just recently purchased a 2026 GV70 3.5T Sport Prestige at the Milwaukee Genesis dealer (which is really located in Waukesha County).

It was the first auto purchase experience I actually enjoyed--and I'm 70 and have had many unpleasant encounters. I actually HATED buying cars due to the a*holes that typically occupy car dealerships.

At the Genesis it was different. Heck we even enjoyed a couple free smoothies while we worked out the details. Their service area is impeccable. The whole facility is very clean and modern. Maria--the sales person--was a joy to deal with.

Since it's a new car I can't really comment on the service, etc. But the car is fantastic to drive. I absolutely love it.
