After I had done all I wanted to on the Stinger, I realized my 4BW had the same type of nasty deposits, fortunately less severe. So, need two more packages of Clay Magic and fix the BW. A lot of work created by allowing TX sandblasting. Won't make that mistake again. Don

Dealership reminded me of Clay Magic. Of course they really wanted to send me to a detailer, for $200 Clay Magic is working wonders. The hood, half of the roof and trunk area feel really nice. Complete the job and put a coat of wax on and it will be great!!!! Happy camper! Don

While I do have a 4BW, I have a very nice and shiny Kia Stinger GT1. Day before yesterday, I washed the car, car paint felt like glass. Left the garage door open and the howling, freaking TX wind blew grit all over it. Next day I rinsed it off, no improvement. Rinsed it off today, no...

The other thing about the Stinger is that there is a plastic shield covering the bottom of all the underhood equipment. About 10 fasteners to remove. I have a partial rotator cuff tear. I am able to do pretty well at the gym by being selective about which machines to use but dealing with those...

You mean the Prius is really a car? I HATE older Priuss. The latest version actually has enough go to be a decent car. Don

Wow, beating a Tesla? I'm surprised and impressed. Don

Yep, and to avoid curb rash, I usually don't end up parking in the center of the spot. Don

Unfortunately, I have offended the Karma gods as the Stinger has some road rash. Don

She does but mostly she drives our Kia Stinger GT1 which is a pretty potent performer. Don

I'm pleased that I can say that my 7+ month, 4600 mile old 4BW has not been abused via curb rash! Hope I can keep it that way. Don

Sure looks like rust to me! Don

Based on grainofsand said, looks like I'm wrong. My bad. Don

I doubt that. The exhausts are almost all or probably all stainless steel. Suspect the exhausts often outlive the rest of the car. Don
