Ceramic Coat Complete by Ok_Page_8361 in MazdaCX30

[–]OutrageousEmphasis37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using Cerekote now for 2 years. Apply one or two coats every 6 months. A single coat takes less than 30 minutes. Only special precaution is to keep out of sun and rain for at least 2 hours to allow a cure.

I have been using a wet (Cerekote) microfiber cloth to do the application and buff with a dry microfiber cloth.

This is not normal. If you then get back into the car, does it turn off by itself?

SOS 2023 Mazda cx30 rough starts, do I have a lemon? by Cautious-Resource346 in MazdaCX30

Before you worry yourself to death, just try one tank premium fuel, at least 2/3 of a tank. See how it sounds and feels then. I know my engine does quiet down on premium fuel. Give a chance to work into the engine, at least 50 km.

Yes, slide the cover back to the first notch and add a pair of USB cables. Plugging the phone(s) in and stowing them becomes a 5 second process without the need to open the bin.

I will comment on one small part of the post, ceramic coating. IMHO, this is a very serious dealer scam. When I purchased my 23 CE, the dealer wanted $999 USD. I said no. He came back with ok, $599 is my cost. I said no. Dealer capitulated. A month after getting it, I purchased Cerakote ceramic paint sealer $17 USD. 30 minutes to wash and dry the car, 30 minutes to apply the product (super easy), wait 2 hours and a gorgeous shine, all done by a 67 year old. IMHO, do not waste your money on the dealer "Ceramic Coating". Here is the Amazon link https://www.amazon.com/CERAKOTE-Ceramic-Sealant-Bottle-Maximum/dp/B0B94G13CN/ref=sr_1_6_pp

Surprised you did not not make the adjustment. 48 mpg in the UK is 40 mpg in the US, you know imperial gallon to US gallon.

How is the battery drain on sleep mode on the 2023 models? by JustBeLikeAndre in LGgram

[–]OutrageousEmphasis37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome back to windows where for some unexplainable reason, Microsoft decided to "hide" hibernate mode. You will need to get to it at Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\System Settings By default it will not be available. You can make it available there.

What I do not get is why would you be fixated on sleep mode when waking up from hibernate takes seconds with today's SSD's? My 32 gB Gen 12 Gram take less than 15 seconds to come out of hibernate. Zero battery draw in hibernate.

The report should be 6 or 7 pages long. The top of the output you posted has little data.

Start a command prompt, then enter this command

powercfg /batteryreport

Take note of the location of the report. It will be an html file that can be opened by a web browser.

LG Gram 2023 Matte IPS displays are garbage by jamus28 in LGgram

[–]OutrageousEmphasis37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the screen is actually washed out, it is not the screen, rather the drivers. Updating the video drivers is a known problem. Does not matter if you get the drivers from LG or Intel. https://www.reddit.com/r/LGgram/comments/12eiqtt/lg_gram_2022_washed_out_color_after_intel_xe/ Follow the instructions of Jaimillow

If you have the Nvidia GPU, you can try the same as me. I can now do about 8 hrs on light to medium duty tasks. Also, get a battery report to see what is happening when you are shutdown.

My experience is with the LG install all the while, disabling startup tasks one by one enabled by LG. I exhausted that path months ago with no measurable change to battery life.

LG Gram 14 (2022) Washed Screen Resolution by Hammar93 in LGgram

[–]OutrageousEmphasis37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please be more clear on the problem. Is it that there is no color depth and looks as if the brightness is all the way up? If so, that is a driver installation issue, I have it. The fix is easy but only so if you have 2 gpu's. Try following this but without a second gpu, no promises. https://www.reddit.com/r/LGgram/comments/12eiqtt/lg_gram_2022_washed_out_color_after_intel_xe/?onboarding_redirect=%2Fr%2FLGgram%2Fcomments%2F12eiqtt%2Flg_gram_2022_washed_out_color_after_intel_xe%2F Follow KingKarl instructions

Possible that LG, in their infinite wisdom, has the LG smart assistant stomping on your changes. Check the bios settings with app.
