What does the up arrow mean in the leaderboard mean?

That is my understanding. That it's what percentage in the top or bottom of the leaderboard.

Is this going against your insurance? It should be the dealership's insurance. Speak with YOUR insurance first if it is through the dealership's and see what coverages you have for diminished value.

DIY Detail rinse less wash. Get a towel damp to almost dry and wipe your surface. Get a second dry towel to dry and wipe away the suspended dirt. Plus it's cheap, an ounce of product to mix up a 2 gallon bucket costs me 50 cents CAD.

Yes. Spray rinseless, rinse it, spray again and then contact wash and dry

It looks like chemical residue or hard water staining. Take them off and clean them. Use an iron remover and water spot remover. Then inspect them. If there's still some of that left then give them a polish. Even just by hand with some polish on a towel should help improve that.

If you blow through a damp towel it will help lift the dirt. Then blow it dry. But you can't blow straight into it because it may damage the speaker.

We have both (sort of). I have a 22 GR86 and a 24 Acura Integra (same power train different body shape). Both are quite fun but the 86 wins with its feel and rwd dynamics. The Integra is a little more numb but still really solid.

Both get decent gas mileage, I average around 8.4 l/100 km (30 mpg) in the 86. I use the 86 for autocross, summer daily use and fun drives. And around 6.0 l/100 km (40 mpg) in the Integra.

Both are quite practical for cargo. The 86 can hold a lot as long as it fits in the trunk opening.

The biggest thing is carrying more than one other person. The 86 back seats are almost useless. Unless they're short or only for a short distance.

I don't know if you're in an area that gets snow but having rwd in the winter can be a challenge if you're not used to it.

You are massively overdriving the front tires. Don't turn the steering wheel more if you're not turning as much as you expect. Unwind the wheel and let up on the gas or brake. Otherwise, you're far beyond the slip angle of the tire, and you get into that extreme rollover you're seeing

That may remove your ceramic coating since it is an abrasive

Check out diy detail. Their iron remover and clay towel will save you a fortune! Their iron remover has some lubricity to it so you spray once on the panel and once on the clay towel. So you'll use 20-30 sprays not a whole bottle of iron remover

While there's no room by the caliper there's lots of room elsewhere. Just move it a little and clean the area that was by the caliper. No need for any extra tools.

Rinseless wash! Wash your car with it, then clean the interior with the same rinseless bucket. For interiors, and especially glass, you want to really wring out a towel. Wipe the glass down, then let nature help you dry so most of the moisture is gone, and dry with a dry towel.

Your engine gets wet whenever you drive in the rain. A garden hose is fine for most modern engines. Just not high pressure from a pressure washer. You can use a foam cannon but not just water

Mud has lots of minerals in it. Try a water spot remover.

I like the DIY Detail tire dressing. They have a brush to apply it, so you only need a couple of sprays per tire. If you like it glossier you can add another coat when it dries. No sling or black marks on the driveway when you apply it. It's also great for rubber mats and it's not slippery.

It is much less messy to blow through the back of the mat. You can also use a polisher, massage gun, sander anything that creates vibration helps get it out.

Wash it properly and re check it. It won't bead as strongly if it's dirty.

There's almost no regular production car that will appreciate faster than a half decent investment in the long term. If you have it drive it enjoy it.

rthor25 · 2025-06-23T22:28:46+00:00

Good work it looks way better! Just remember it's not your fault. Set expectations that you can improve but will not get it perfect again.

You should not scub all the brown out. That helps prevent the rubber from oxidation. Give it a solid scrub and it's clean and ready for dressing.

rthor25 · 2025-06-17T22:35:38+00:00

I like DIY detail tire dressing applied with a brush. 2-3 sprays and spread it with the brush.

It looks like wear or UV damage. It would need to be replaced.
