wash

Friends, I don't know if this is the right thread to share this incident. Sorry if it is not. Last Sunday I took my car to a local car wash (first time to this store). I originally thought it was a manual wash but upon paying I realized it is an automatic wash but controlled by the person in...

I have a 2015 Genesis 3.6 Ultimate AWD. I get it washed 2-3 times per week at drive-through washes. At some car washes the car rubs and scrapes along but never thought much about it since I don't see any damage. Took the car to my friend's shop to have tires rotated yesterday and he wanted me...

Just had my first dealer oil change, which is free, from my dealer, with conventional oil. I upgraded to full synthetic for an upcharge of $36 for 6+ quarts. When they asked if I wanted a free car wash, I asked if it was a machine wash and was told that it was a hand wash. Not bad for free. It...

Took my car to a car wash I've used repeatedly but this time a problem: put car in neutral, book foot off gas and brake and Car would sort of LIFT on le3ft side and make a slam noise rather than moving forward on the line. Made sure parking brake red light thingy on dash was off - as car wash...

Does putting the car in neutral disengage the AEB?

We've had some rain recently in Albuquerque.....a real rarity. So I had to wait to a few days to give my new 5.0 a wash and wax. Washed with a little Meguiar's Gold Class, and followed that up Chemical Guys Extreme Depth Carnauba Creme Wax.

Figures, the one time I go to a touch car wash this happens. Bummer. The entire center blue part came off so now the entire thing is chrome. Has this happened to anyone else? I recall one person who had theirs chipped. I ordered a new one but wish I didn't have to go through the hassle of...

How do you folks prefer to wash your car? Foam cannon? Foam gun? Or two bucket hand wash w/mit? Or a combination of some of the above? If foam gun or cannon, what soap do you like best?

Ok folks this was a first for me, just curious if anyone else has had this happen to them. Took the Genny to the Car Wash for a full service clean. Took the key off the physical key and placed it in the key slot, got out of the car and left her running. When she came out of the car wash she was...

Just thought I'd share... I've seen on several car forums (a couple here too) about people washing their car with Optimum No Rinse Wash. So I finally decided to order a bottle now that it's warming up here. Ordered from autogeeks.net, there's a new formula with ONR Wash & Wax that just came...

After driving it for 5 days I finally had a chance to wash it. I bought mine the last day of my vacation and was working ever since :( so I didn't have time to joyride or detail. I got home from work a bit early and got a wash in as the sun was going down. Let me say, I did buy protection for...

I purchased a 2012 Genesis V-6 w/tech package last July. About 3 weeks later I went through a car wash. A few minutes later I lost all sound. Turned car off and back on - no luck. After getting home and letting car sit overnite the sound worked next morning. Dealer could find nothing wrong...

Montana Original Triangle Boar's Bristle brush. Has thick, long bristles that hold an amazing amount of soapy water (I use Meguiars). I can wash, rinse, blowdry (leaf blower) and wipe down the entire car including windows and door sills in about 30 minutes. The brush is pricey, but if you use a...

A while ago I encountered a guy demo-ing Fastwax at my local Sam's club. This is an aerosol waterless spray product that you spray on, towel off gently with terry cloth, then buff with microfiber. It looked interesting, and the price wasn't bad at all, so I bought a pack of 3 cans (each can good...

Take a look at this system, hosted on another forum:D. There are pictures to support this system. It absolutely works! http://tinyurl.com/2f8cj5m And while you're there, join the board. We'll have a Genesis forum soon. Thanks!

Hello all! I got my Genesis about two weeks ago now. This may just be a simple question to you all, but for me not. This is my first NEW car and I just don't know what to do and how to maintain its beauty. My old car, I used to just hand wash it with waterhose and hand with no soap in front...

After five days of ownership, I'm now reminded of another reason why I was reluctant to buy a black car...it's damn hard to keep clean! Even though it hasn't rained yet, I've picked up some bug guts on the front grille/headlights, and the rest of the car is at least dusty. While I'm sure I'll...
