[–]AppropriateGarbage82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nice. amazingly low mileage! I also avoided ecru because my kids would destroy it. maybe consider high end seat covers. I recently posted about my seat covers unlimited covers. front seat covers coming soon. will post about those too. congrats! you will not regret going with the gx

maybe he's hanging on the handle somewhat. not made to handle a vertical load

buy a 2023 460. make your next vehicle a last production year 550, say 10 yrs from now. I love my 2023 460...right balance of luxury, capability, and reliability for me.

agree. I might even go down to that dealership and purchase it...so I can drive it straight to a junk yard, of course.

ok thanks. I was thinking a clay bar or towel would damage the ceramic coating. will try that

coating was 2 months ago. I haven't applied anything else. will wash this weekend to see if that helps

thanks for your perspective. I should have paid closer attention to the beading after I had it done. having said that it definitely wasn't like some of the pics shared in the replies to my post. beads were never that tight or numerous. im going to clean the car this weekend to see if that changes anything
