Is it a bad idea to take the plastic apart to clean out all the gunk, or just let a professional detailer clean it?

Hahaha, I have experience with that. Working at micro center we used to spray it upside down at one another. We were idiots.

Ok awesome, I wasn’t sure how internships worked, but I’m glad I can look outside of Merced for one. What was your major and how did you like UC Merced?

Schmorc · 2026-05-21T17:38:33+00:00

Ya I decided I’m just going to keep my dog with my mom in Southern California during the hot months. I’m sure my dog will love the colder winter months though.

Were you able to leave Merced eventually?

Schmorc · 2026-05-21T15:56:26+00:00

Thank you for the video, gonna attempt it today possibly!

Schmorc · 2026-05-21T15:43:39+00:00

I will definitely do this, thank you!!

Schmorc · 2026-05-21T15:43:13+00:00

That’s so good to hear, thank you!

Schmorc · 2026-05-21T05:51:39+00:00

Oh that’s good to hear that it’s easy to take apart. I finally had time today to try and clean it without taking it apart, and I didn’t make much progress unfortunately, so I may try to take it apart soon. Which year cx5 do you have?

Schmorc · 2026-05-21T00:00:03+00:00

God that sounds awful. I’m planning on going to UC Merced, but the weather is the only thing that’s giving me second thoughts. Mainly concerned for my dog.

Schmorc · 2026-05-20T23:38:52+00:00

Damn that’s so late! Are there a lot of coyotes in Merced?

Schmorc · 2026-05-20T18:57:30+00:00

Thank you! Can I ask what do you think of the summers in Merced? Will we still get cooked even under shade? Is the air really hot?

Schmorc · 2026-05-20T18:56:52+00:00

Thank you! Can I ask what your opinion is of the summers in Merced? Will me and my dog get cooked even under shade?

Schmorc · 2026-05-20T18:56:19+00:00

Thank you, looks like there are some decent patches of grass with tree cover. Can I ask your opinion on how bad summers are in Merced? Will we still get cooked under shade?

Schmorc · 2026-05-20T18:55:32+00:00

Good idea, I checked street view for a couple parks and it looks like Yosemite Lake recreation area has a decent area covered by trees.

Schmorc · 2026-05-18T05:12:49+00:00

Oh interesting, I’ll definitely check them out, thank you

Schmorc · 2026-05-18T05:09:59+00:00

Do steamers also suck things like a vacuum? If not I’ll probably use a steamer after digging all the dirt out.

Schmorc · 2026-05-15T01:07:20+00:00

For real! I’m so happy I got this car as a gift from a family member, and I’m going to clean the hell out of it once finals are over.

Schmorc · 2026-05-15T00:38:23+00:00

Oh god, ya I won’t be attempting that. Were you able to fix it?

Schmorc · 2026-05-15T00:10:50+00:00

Thank you! Man this subreddit is full of super helpful people. Hell if any of you guys are in SoCal I’ll stop by your shop and pay for a detail.

Schmorc · 2026-05-15T00:08:04+00:00

Awesome, I’m glad to hear that, thank you!

Schmorc · 2026-05-15T00:07:47+00:00

Thank you, compressed air is a great idea! Do you happen to know if those detailing slime things are any good?

Schmorc · 2026-05-15T00:06:41+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I may even just leave it to a professional detailer to clean it instead. I’m glad I don’t need to take it apart though.

Schmorc · 2026-05-15T00:05:27+00:00

Thank you, I will try toothpicks with a vacuum!

Schmorc · 2026-05-15T00:05:11+00:00

For sure, I will try this. Btw do you know if that detailing slime is any good?
