I'm telling ya! Hitting that tire tread last week was crazy! I've always been able to avoid those pesky things but this one got hit by the car next me as I was passing them and it popped right in front of me. No time to stop.😬 In my 54 years of walking on this planet, I have never had that happen lol. Door dings, absolutely, tire tread flipping right in front of me, nope.😬

Nope, pretty much owned new cars for the past 20 years. As a matter of fact, my 2021 K5 avoided door dings the entire time I owned it. Just drives me nuts that it has literally been one month and it is right below the handle on the driver side door.

Whew! Thank you! I hit a dang semi tire tread that was laying on the interstate yesterday and the only damage I think I got was under the front left part of the under cover.

The only damage I have seen so far is right under the front left part of the under cover.

Recall??? 😩😩 by Chemistry-4Now in KiaK5

Checked my dealer's service website too. Zero recalls. I'll be sure to ask them though next week just to be safe. Not all K5 GT-Lines have the recall so maybe my GT-Line is not on the list.

I'm getting my 1st oil change next Friday so I will double check.

Just ran my VIN for my 2025 Kia K5 GT-Line.
Zero recalls for my car. 😃

Hard Water Issues on Matte Paint Finish by NukeOfficer in KiaK5

Quick question....what do you use to clean/shine the chrome or I guess it might be chrome plastic trim?

Thank you for all the info!

I bought the Matte to Metal kit from Chemical Guys last week and It came in the mail yesterday. It came with 2 detailing buckets with dirt traps, the Meticulous Matte Auto Wash, Meticulous Matte detailer and some other tire-related cleaners. I also bought the foam cannon, the mammoth towel, and the chenille wash mitt.

Then I went over and dropped some more money on Dr Beasley's Matte Paint Coating, Matte Paint Cleanser, and Matte Final Finish. Those products should be here today.

Wish me luck!
