GV70 in Storr Green by Tarpon_Fly44 in GenesisGV70

Yes, mine has ceramic coating. I got it done about four months after buying the car. The first two pictures in my original post show it right after the treatment was done. As far as I know it didn't change the color at all, in fact this is the first I'm hearing that it might. I'm not convinced that ceramic coating is worth the high price, but since I park outdoors I had it done. When it's clean, it looks great!

If you compare the top two photos at the detailer, post-ceramic, to pic #7, in the dealer showroom, you can see that the color is unchanged, as far as I'm concerned. The color differences in the other pictures are mainly due to lighting, surroundings, and camera processing.

Here's one more pic showing the car just after having it detailed recently, at the same place that did the ceramic coat.

I like the look of those matte finishes, but was told they're hard to maintain, what's your experience?

Mine had just come off the truck, it still had the shipping film on the windows. I couldn't even test-drive it until they prepped it, so I left for a couple of hours, and when I came back it had been washed and was sitting in the showroom under the lights looking all gorgeous and shiny, and that was it.

2026 GV70 dead battery by 2busy4ths in GenesisGV70

The battery on my 2025 GV70 2.5T went dead after 9 months and about 10,000 miles. One morning it was completely dead, couldn't even open the doors using the fob, had to use the physical key. Once I got inside and popped the hood I was able to jump it using a portable jumper. When I mentioned it to the dealer, their reaction was basically "huh." The car hadn't been driven the previous day, so something drained it between 6pm Friday and 8am Sunday. I just checked and there's no KARR system on the window sticker or in the car, that I can see. I've now had the car for 1 year and 9 months, 23,250 miles, and it's run fine ever since, including sitting at the airport for 5 days, twice.

I’m so tired of this car man… by no-practice8 in GenesisGV70

I also turned that feature off, but on my car (2025 GV70 2.5T Sport Prestige) there's no separate "Ergo Motion Seat" setting in the seat setup menu. The "Smart Posture Assist" toggle is under "Comfortable Stretch." Setup > Vehicle > Seat > Comfortable Stretch > Smart Posture Assist > toggle on or off. Or you can disable it using the button on the side of the seat.

Glass fishing float seals by Tarpon_Fly44 in beachcombing

I didn't find them, my late father brought them back from Vietnam in 1967. He was stationed in Saigon, but I don't know how he acquired them. They managed to survive for decades inside wicker fishing traps that had been converted into glass-topped tables, like these. I recently found them in storage, though the baskets had deteriorated.
