I'd prefer to waste their time, have them change it (which they should have done years ago) and I'll have a new steering lock. No sweat for me. The only person that touches my car anyways is Derek @ Deland Nissan (GT-R Tech).:tup:

It's a super easy process :tup: All you need is the clay, some quick detailer spray, microfiber cloth(s), and some powder-free disposable gloves :tup:

The new units are no better than the old units though... I guess as long as your willing to potentially deal with towing your car to the dealership to have them replace it again (that's a waste of everybody's time) :ugh2: If I were you, I would show the relevant threads to Derek and have him remove the fuse for you :tup:

This was the sign. I think he got hit by the other car on the side I saw. Then did a 180 into the sign.

i use it on my dd's. very effective product. over painted surfaces, plastics, glass. will not whiten. for our harsh winters i put a nice coat of polymer, but in your area where you can wash all yr long, just do the Hydro. :D

I may have to check that out - heard nothing but good things :tup:

( Click to show/hide )
I've never found a liquid wax that gave me as much pleasure as 2 good coats of paste wax, although I'll admit maybe part of that is the hard work put in by hand bias. I also generally wax only a few times per year, so I try to make 'em good ones. I know it's probably better to do something like Hydro every month, but I regularly go 2 months without even a wash because I just don't have time. And often the in-between washes are half-assed quick no detail washes, often skipping the interior or wheels or both. I know she deserves better, which is why I try to go all out when I get the time to do a true detailing.

I am also wondering if it is time for a polymer since the car is now two years old. My understanding is I can do a polymer first, and still use a paste (idk about liquid but I would guess it too?) wax on top
