    How to buff out swirl mark type scratches on wheels before ceramic coating?

    If it was me, I'd try Meguiar's cleaner wax on them first. I use this on my black aluminum trailer and it works great for scuff marks, and swirls. If that didn't work I'd go with a light rubbing compound, then go back over with the cleaner wax afterward.

    Small scratch on black mirror - suggestions to fix?

    If it's only a surface scratch or scuff, meaning you can't really catch your finger nail on it when you go over it. I'd use a light rubbing compound on it, then put a coat of wax on it and you'll be good to go.

    Engine replaced at less than 20k miles

    Glad Ford did the right thing, and took care of you. Way back in the day I bought a new Chevy Blazer with the new Vortec V6 motor. First year model, had a funny sound at about 1500 miles and took it to the dealer. Got it back the next day and still not right. Took it back to the dealer for the...

    Seatbelt display on Dashboard will not go away with 'ok'

    I've never seen that on my 2020 or my 2023. But, I did disable the seat belt chime right away on both vehicles since I don't always wear my seat belt.

    Starting in on the wife's ST...need some help planning a "mild" build.

    I was talking to the head parts guy at my dealership, it's a great dealership. He has a 2020 and put the FP tune on his. I had a 2020, and now a 2023. We had a long conversation about the FP tune, I was thinking about getting it. You see YouTube videos showing it does make a difference. He said...

    Explorer st 2023 vibrations

    I've seen that thread before. I had the Pirelli tires on my 2020 without issues, and have them on my 2023. You would hear that foam bouncing around in a tire at speed, I would think anyway.

    Explorer st 2023 vibrations

    I have a '23 and don't have any problems like that. Does it do it consistently where someone from the dealer's service dept. could ride with you, and feel what you're feeling? What tiers did they change?

    Ceramic Coating Sprays

    Def post the results. I'd like to see the before and after, and your thoughts on how much protection it offers.

    Paint corrected, ppf installed, ceramic coating applied.

    Does the Gyeon wheel dressing stay on well, or fling off?

    ST dashboard cleaning

    Positive. It seems like the dash is soft and porous too. I always gently wipe it down.

    ST dashboard cleaning

    I'll try it. I tried Chemical Guys interior cleaner and protectant, and Meguiars interior detailer and neither worked to get rid of the streaks. I call them mini zebra stripes.

    ST dashboard cleaning

    I had a 2020 ST and I got light colored streaks on the dashboard when I wiped it down once. Almost seemed like streaks of silicone from dyer sheets off a towel. No matter what I used to clean the dashboard I couldn't get rid of them. Now I have a 2023 and don't want the same issue again. What...
