If it's cold, I'm choosing gas.

I would go for something with the Ford 2.5 NA.

We have a 2018 Armada Platinum. It hasn't been perfect, but it's been mostly a good daily. There is a TSB for 2017 and 2018 (I think) about a #7 cylinder issue. Short block replacement The major problems I have had is the brake switch failing which makes the vehicle not driveable. I have...

I recently saw a video, it may have been Chemical Guys. The person had a bucket of no rinse solution and about 8 clean microfibers. He used one side of the microfiber per panel. Flip the microfiber until all sides have been used, and then proceed to use all of the microfibers and no rinse...

I like the Armor All Tire Shine in the aerosol can. It's easy to apply. With your bottle, I would consider evening it out with an applicator. ETA: For white walls, I like to use Brillo or SOS pads.

This is my wife's ride... 2018 Nissan Armada Platinum ~49k miles Gold Class and then used TW Minute Wax as a drying aid Also, SudsLab wheel cleaner was used.

I spray it on while the car is still wet, and use it as a drying aid. The mist is fine, so I spray a little more than one or two sprays per panel when wet.

What tire would you recommend as an upgrade?

2017 Camry, Left rear tire. So my guess is above 5/32 but have not measured. Kumho Solus TA31

I have about 20K on a set. One tire has been abused. Two nails and a big rod. Plugged but losing air. Would you replace one tire? Two? Or the whole set??

The black matte finish may suggest that this vehicle has recently been vinyl wrapped.

I wear glasses and I hate smears. Here is my method. I have the eyeglass "microfiber" cleaning cloths. I get them from Amazon. I use two cloths. I spritz one, not heavily at all with eyeglass cleaner. Only enough to grab the dirt etc on the lens. Maybe one or two pumps. I clean both lenses as...

65K. The paint is not too bad. It's a 2017. There are some chips on the hood. And there is a bubble on the bumper. Front lenses are starting to cloud up. I'm happy with the paint overall, for what it's worth.

Washed with Meguiars Gold Class, finished with TW Minute Wax as a drying aid. Slick and glossy! lol

Mileage is under 10K a year. With those tires and rims, I'm betting it towed a camper with the fifth wheel.

My parents had a 05 Vibe with the manual transmission. That vehicle might go forever. It had 260K on it when it was given to a family friend. It's still going strong. Excellent car!

I had an 09 Versa with a CVT that went out. The first signs were a whining noise, like the vehicle was low on power steering fluid. I bought the car at 45K, changed the CVT Fluid at 60K with Castrol CVT Fluid. When I heard the whine, I changed it again. Trans died at 110K.

I've pretty much said goodbye to actual polishing. I still have my PorterCable, but it's sitting on the shelf.

Another data point for ride height. Other preferences include AWD, Rear DVD, Power liftgate for easy loading, cargo room, third row seat. She will never understand how long it takes to cool that hotbox on a hot summer day.

I tried out SudsLab wheel cleaner this evening. This is a non-acid wheel cleaner. I decided to try after seeing a couple of reviews on YouTube. And I go through wheel cleaner quickly. It seems to work well. It's supposed to be spray and rinse. But I used a wheel brush. It doesn't foam, and...
