Started my fall interior detail on my sedan. Is it me or is the sedan's rear interior window virtually impossible to clean if you're a normal sized human being?

Funny you say that because i'm 5'11 and always get my girlfriend (5'3) to do it. When i was single i'd simply get a rag, flip it over the top of my hand, then wipe from side-to-side which killed me. i later invested in an old swiffer sweeper, put the cloth on it, then went side to side with ease.

Well, since I have Friday, Saturday and Sunday off from work and the weather is perfect (70 and sunny, no humidity), I'm pampering the Cosmic Blue.

Already detailed the interior and just finished washing it and using some black trim restorer.

The additional weekend to do list:

1. Clay the paint and windows
2. Polish the car
3. Apply Sealant
4. Wax the car
5. Apply protectant to all weatherstripping
6. Reinstall shark fin rear diffuser lip

So with all the construction happening at my job. I saw this the other day. When the landscaping truck was parked behind my car and the where working from there. I knew they'd hit my car and sure enough. I feel like I've hit a bad patch with my car. So I went to look at this. The one I'd get currently isn't at the dealer until the 9th but the employee at the dealer had one I could look at. I snapped the pictures before I left

A lot of people are transitioning from the Si to the Stinger GT, but the K5 definitely turns heads in the right color.

I like the K5 especially for the money.

Yeah the stinger is a bit much. Especially with how the market is now. I like the k5. The wolf grey is similar to the sonic grey on the civic. I love that color girl does too. And the red interior is ? plus the AWD I feel it's one of the cleanest looking AWD sedans out at the moment

AND their warranty.

if the warranty is good i'd be way more willing to recommend it to her

Got my head gasket finished up with a cometic gasket and ARP studs today, and at the moment I’m at the exhaust shop getting the flex portion of a Megan racing frontpipe fixed. Should’ve just done a new frontpipe but this will do for now.

interesting. mixed feelings about that
there's two ways to look at it: either the company can't ensure worry-free driving for 10 years maybe they're not very confident in the quality/quality control of their vehicles, or they're appealing to the market.
look at honda, they've got a 3yr/36k basic and 6yr/72k extended warranty bc they know their stuff is good and will last that long. moreover, they're confident that should any issues arise, they'll happen within that span and not after (for the most part)

just food for thought, good on kia tho for offering such a nice warranty and finally stepping up their game and appealing to a younger demographic

FINALLY got to doing my highs with leds. Having a lx sucks though. Missing fogs n chrome delete at minimum to make the front end look slightly better
