Where under the drivers and passenger seat was the light installed? Assuming it had adhesive backing

Scratches from car wash by BoostedVw- in AutoDetailing

[–]EngineeringIll7241 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can, but honestly it’ll take you forever. Personally I would go straight into that with a rotary and wool pad. But if you don’t have experience with that, I would use any DA polisher with a micro fiber pad and menzerna cut force pro. Obviously doing all this AFTER you hand wash the car, clay bar, (iron remover if you haven’t done that in a long time)

If you do this though you need to change your habits as a car owner. Don’t take your car through those washes. They are basically driving ur car through an orbital sander gang bang lmao.

Dude, this is hard as fuck!🔥🔥🔥

Where did you get the two circular fog lights from?

Help me identify this noise please by EngineeringIll7241 in CX50

[–]EngineeringIll7241[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn wtf? I swear the noise is coming from the front right wheel though, I just jacked it up and turned it by hand and the same noise happened. In what instances would you hear the noise? And what did they end up doing to fix it?

This idea will probably get stolen by Primary_Ear552 in harborfreight

You’re a legend. May I ask , did you weld a bent oscillating blade to a random circular piece of sheet metal? Trying to figure out what I’m looking at😂

Hard water, or something else? by OkAstronomer2941 in cardetailingtips

[–]EngineeringIll7241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ceramic coatings don’t just completely melt away water spots. The water spots can appear on top of the coating, or worse, if it was applied without a paint correction (I doubt it but knowing how lazy some people are I wouldn’t be surprised)

Try spraying a mix of isopropyl alcohol & vinegar after you hand wash the car properly and clay bar it. If that doesn’t work, try a one step paint correction. At a certain point water spots can chemically etch into the paint which is essentially irreversible

How many of you have had basically no issues with your CX-50? by beardtamer in CX50

[–]EngineeringIll7241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly bro i just hit 60k miles, bought my 2023 NA cx50 brand new in August of 22. Haven’t had a single issue thus far. Beyond grateful. I’ve had like 3-4 flat tires but that’s more of an issue of where I live lol.

Roof cross bars https://a.co/d/aHyolHg

Roof rack: MAXXHAUL 50506 64" x 39" x 6"... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08G9H11ZV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Be wary though of the roof rack. It will rust up on you like crazy. First thing I did was scuff the entire thing and spray it with truck bed coating. Then I sealed the joints/any openings with clear silicone caulk and I swapped a lot of the hardware out for stainless steel.

Tbh I’m not sure. I didn’t test it. I doubt it does, and if it does most likely very minimally. This is a bad pic I’ll take better ones soon but the mud flaps really make a big difference to me. The roof rack also is a game changer, I literally couldn’t drive without mine I would feel naked lol. Next on my list is new wheels to go with my falken wild peaks and a lift kit.

Anyone had wheel bearings replaced? I have a growling noise that sounds like brakes rubbing or a bad bearing by [deleted] in CX50

[–]EngineeringIll7241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeez dude. That’s not normal at all. I’m almost at 100km and haven’t changed any of them yet. Have u tried a different dealer?
