  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

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 taking this one off and then adding the new one on.

Makes me wonder how good of quality it really is.

Sorry, picture isn't that clear but when viewing far away you can't even see the "Genesis" lettering. Looks pretty ugly now lol

I didn't notice it until the next day but it wasn't like that before the car wash. However, I just went ahead and bought a new one. It came in today in the mail.
 
Do like I do.
Hand wash her next time so this won't happen again.
 
Carwash? Are you kidding? Carwashes are for rentals. I have had my Genny for a year and a half and she's never been through a carwash. Hand wash only!!!!

Quoted for TRUTH!
 
This is what the auto touch carwashes did to my whip. Some of the damage was from myself too though. Dominic - shouldn't you know better;)?? I thought you had some $$ detailing done from RIDS and swirls already??

Very nice!
What did you use?
I've used Griot's products for the last two years for all of my cars and I really think it works great as advertised.
