    All Weather Tires for Crosstrek?

    YouTube Video - Tyre Reviews - The Best 10 All Season / All Weather Tires for 2022/23 Tested and Rated! Slight variances as these are Eurospec Tire Models, but Michelin CC2 has always been at the top or very near it for Euro All-Season (US "All-Weather"). Additionally, most reviews only test...

    2013 Ford Edge cabin air filter - 1st change by me

    I think it really depends on batch timing and type of Wix filter, though it may vary from car/filter sizes. Just checked the Wix cabin filters I had from my last RockAuto haul (since they have them for about half the price as other retailers): G37 - Wix XP - 1 made in Germany, 1 made in Czech...

    Favorite WM Detailer Spray ?

    Unless you are thoroughly washing your car every single time and never miss anything, using something such as a detailer as part of a final wipe down, drying aid, or even light cleaning is ideal than using a standalone sealant. Sure, the wiping is cleaning, but if leftover dirt/dust is not...

    Ceramic window cleaner . will it replace glass coating like rain x etc?

    New product release so not much info/reviews out yet. In one of their videos though, they mention that this is moreso for the side windows and rear windows, maybe due to the wipers eating away at the protection layer and that they still recommend their original clear colored glass sealant for...

    Optimum Gloss Coat

    The older formulations may have lasted that long, but Scott HD did a test of old and new, a batch after Energizer or whoever purchased Nu Finish and changed the formula. That testing showed that new formula was weaker than previous versions, probably to save costs.

    Cloth Seat Cleaning

    Any mild detergent or all purpose cleaner (read directions in case dilution is needed to be safe for interiors) would be fine; it would be more down to method/technique used. You have the right technique down needing a brush to agitate then extracting it. Since you also have a water extractor...

    2017 Infiniti Q60S | 3.0L V6 (VR30DDTT) | Valvoline Modern Engine 5W30 | 4,255 mi OCI

    The OE spec, iirc, is 0w20 with no other recommended oils or temp ranges, according to the owners manual. Also, OP mentioned an ecutek tune, which would void the warranty if detected. I’d imagine if they were snooping around for reasons to deny an engine warranty claim, they would check that...

    Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax vs. TW Ice Seal n Shine

    Griot's 3 in 1 Ceramic Wax is actually quite stout in terms of lasting protection and even visible water beading. Check out Scott HD's youtube channel for real world panel testing longetivity tests (as in leaving it out in the sun/elements and washing it normally without any toppers and not...

    Projector Headlights

    Bi-xenon headlights will have that shutter/shield that moves out of the way when you activate your high beam switch meaning the bulb itself is basically producing the same amount of light the whole time it’s on; activating your high beam switch will move the cover and allow more light to get...

    Headlight restoration question

    I second the Cerakote kit/method if you do not want to use a mechanical drill/buffer. It comes with 8 oxidation remover wipes, 2 grits of velcro attachable sandpaper disks (2 each), a nice sandpaper disk palm grip/holder, 4 cerakote/ceramic wipes, and gloves. Might even be able to stretch it out...

    Would you use Shine Armor for free?

    If it was their Fortify product and free, re-gift or go ahead and use it unless you have other spray wax/sealants available. This product performed poorly on Scott HD's review series, nearly failing after the first wash.

    what to use on door seals

    I recently used Meguiar's #40 on my 7 year old car as a preventative measure since I was looking at potentially replacing door seals due to a leak (which thankfully was not the cause) since replacement door/window seals for my car are $200+ each door. #40 is an all in one...

    VQ37 oil recommendation

    How much of warranty is left? Most of the VQ37s were decommissioned after 2015 except for some random crossover years or the M37/Q70. Older VQ37 service manuals would recommend 7500mi interval with 3750 severe service, newer manuals just plain flat out took the middle ground and specified...
