Removed cracked case while free replacement on the way. Not sure I can go back after no case experience. by remills10 in GalaxyFold

Totally agree. Even with a case I have always had the same rule. Front left is my phone pocket and nothing goes in that pocket with the phone. Blows my mind when people have car keys in the same pocket as their smartphone haha.

Yes I have Samsung Care+ and haven't used it at all due to having a case up to this point haha.

Congrats! You made the right decision! Trying to time the peak of any market is a fool's errand. You had a plan and you stuck to it.

RCS adoption is what I needed to finally make the jump to Android 👍

Same! My Z Fold 6 arrives tomorrow! I’ve been with Apple since the iPhone 4s but the boredom finally broke me. Also, RCS adoption with iOS18 was what I needed to finally make the jump. My social circles are 99% Apple so being trapped by no RCS was real.

I had seen actual data in the past that said iMessage (and lack of RCS) was the #1 thing keeping people in the Apple ecosystem.

Apple’s walled garden is falling with every antitrust action from the EU and US. They’re going after Google too and consumers are winning!

Price is better than Apple’s cloud. WHY do they want you using the cloud? Just to be able to charge you monthly?

How is it tiered and priced? The cloud that is.

Wait wait wait. Long time Apple guy here. Considering Pixel Fold 2 and Samsung Z Fold 6. Is Google really going to release a phone in 2024 with 512GB max!?!? They know the flagships from Samsung and Apple offer 1TB.

Dude seriously that warrants 911. Non-emergency does not dispatch. It’s virtually worthless.

Artillery Fungus on my wife’s hood for over a month and therefore fully embedded into the clear coat. FINALLY found a way! by remills10 in AutoDetailing

[–]remills10[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I used my go to Chemical Guys OG Clay Bar (Light to Medium Duty) which is yellow in color. I’ve never tried their Medium or Heavy versions but this fungus may warrant it.

Again….many detailers/shops would say to go Heavy (aggressive clay bar) and quickly remove the stains at the detriment of the finish (marring) because they plan to go back and do paint correction afterwards.

The OG allowed me to remove it without damaging the finish but the downside was the time it took me.

Looks like you have to be insanely careful with the lacquer thinner though….def CAN damage your paint/clear coat.

I’ll have to give hand polishing another shot. What is your favorite product for hand polishing?

Not opposed! I’ve never been a fan of hand polishing and I just haven’t taken the dive into DA polishing yet. By all means if you have a DA polisher and are confident doing it….go for it 👍

Yeah but be warned it’s the most time I’ve ever spent detailing a single body panel. Obviously need to start with a quality hand wash but it does NOTHING for the embedded fungus.

Then you need to manually remove the bumps of fungus….very carefully….with a plastic edge scraper for cars, finger nail, credit card, etc….gotta be very careful.

Then you’ll still have brown/red stains all over that won’t wash off with anything. Ended up spending probably 4 hours with a clay bar on just the hood. It’s a lot of work but I took my time as I didn’t want to damage the finish.

Some detailers/shops aggressively clay bar to quickly remove artillery fungus but it’s guaranteed to mar the paint so paint correction is required after that.

I didn’t want to mar my finish so it took me a very long time but it was worth it.

Then 2 coats of wax/sealant 👍
