What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[Robs GT]

No cell lights, the high-flow cats came with O2 sensor defouler, running jb4 for my tune

 

[$TINGERGT2]

Hey there , l just added glass screen protector for head unit...looks heaps better with gloss appearance rather than matt ...Also put some led downlights in garage for when I'm cleaning car

Hey bro what front splitter is that and can you post a few more pics? I’m about to get one and I’m in the air tossing around a few options but yours is clean too

Took over C&C this morning! Was a great turn out, but it was coooold!
15 Stingers and a bunch of other KDM.

Another pic from this last Sunday at C&C.

Nice! Looks chilly, but not salt encrusted like up here! My car is staying in...

Attached A-tach phone mount. Very secure with quick release button and doesn’t get in the way of access to screen. They also sell a strong magnet attachment which I also purchased for quicker pick up and go...

Installed my new exhaust tips, noise level is a lot quieter inside the cabin

Do tips really make that much of a difference to sound?

Installed JB4 and picked up my younger ball of flesh from daycare....he thinks I’m Lightning McQueen.

Tried the Optimum no rinse wash and shine after multiple touch free car wash attempts here in Texas to get the road salt from up north and apparently the tar from down here off with no success. They weren't lying that stuff is magical. Have had the car since the day before Thanksgiving. Had 97 miles on it when I got in it. I'm just shy of 7k now. We'll hit Kansas, New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri before the end of the year. Racking up the miles quick. Lol

Took the car for a ride now it is safely tucked away for the snow they say we are getting tomorrow. Up to 10 inches, maybe.

First full detail after buying it last week:

Don’t have a garage, sorry bud it’s a daily driver too. Well I do have a garage but it’s packed with lawn equipment and detailing products among lots of other stuff. Hahaha

Actually, it's a good calendar pic contender.

 

[LordShadow]

Today I washed the car and detailed the interior. Well, mostly done detailing, I still have to vacuum. lol

In the next few weeks I plan to clay bar it since there is a lot of grit in the paint since the car has never been garaged.
Just have to figure out how to remove the crazy amount of burned in excess wax that the previous owner apparently applied with what I assume must have been a high speed buffer that he didn't know how to use. Any helpful hints would be great!

Sold my home gym setup and moved stuff around to find space in the garage. Tight but no snow for this redhead.

Try starting with a polish and a dual action polisher and see what type of results you get. If that doesn’t work you will need to move to a compound with the polisher. Machine polish should take off anything put on before short of a multi-year professional ceramic coating. Always start with the least aggressive method first. If you are going to clay you should always follow with a machine polish anyway. Clay will put light scratches in the paint. Make sure you read the products to ensure they don’t stain the black rubber and plastics. Always best to tape off your car just to be safe. Look at Turtle Wax latest Graphene infused products. People are getting good results with them and you can simply change out the pads on the polisher to amp up the aggression and stick with one polish/compound.

Turtle Wax Graphene? I will check that out, Thanks! I use their wash products when I am not a lazy ass and just run it through the touchless.
I will take a look at some Maguire's compounds as I am more familiar with how they work/behave, unless you have a suggestion I should look into that would suit better?

ETA
Checked out the Turtle Wax Graphene stuff. Looks pretty good from the reviews and a couple vids I just watched. Thank you for the recommendation, it is now on the list.
