fotomoto Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) 6 months old + 12,000 miles including 2,500 mile long trip with the kids = time for a detail. Washed, waxed (scratch that, I don't wax since I applied opti-coat 2.0 shortly after buying), and cleaned/detailed the entire interior (including leather seats) with 303 Protectorant (as recommended by this forum) and microfiber towels. Final step was the windows and screens (overspray). It's a new car again! Edited September 1, 2013 by fotomoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

METROMAN Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Installed some rain vents / guards, or whatever you call them. Having the one touch down windows sure doesn't work very well when you're trying to lower them for these tho. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaDadMiami Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) Me, to the guy at the Costco exit, when I noticed it raining: "Do you know why it's rainining?" Guy: "Something to do with the clouds." Me: "No. It's nothing like that. It's raining, because I just left the carwash before coming here." Guy: "Ha, ha, ha."

slampro Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Steinway B piano action. 3 sets of tools/supplies for piano repair. Room for 3 adults in our C-Max today. Did I mention the kickgate? It rained today-all day(which just doesn't usually happen in El Paso) :wub2: the kickgate!

slampro Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) That's a Steinway? Wow...CMax - the wee lil car that CAN :)It's a B, commonly referred to as a parlor(baby) grand. The concert grand is a D, and is wider by a few inches. But the D will fit also, according to the tape measure.

fotomoto Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Used the air compressor on a low tire (30psi). Worked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdiesel1 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Looks good! Anyone know if you can disable the one touch down feature?Push the button half way and it won't run to the full open/closed position. It will stop when you let off the button :drop: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotomoto Posted September 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Installed my Hitch today :love_shower: Congrats as you just up the versatility of the vehicle immensely. I'll be using my hitch/cargo carrier tomorrow morning to take some refuse to the local trash drive. This avoids going to the rural dump where there is a great chance of getting a flat.

C-Maxgo Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 I let my husband drive me around in Max. I broke my foot last week so I won't be able to drive Max for 6 weeks. :cry: I'm more sad about not being able to drive than anything else. Oh well it gives me more time to find some fun things like floor mats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaDadMiami Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Although I already had a heavy inside cleaning done after coming back from North Carolina, I only did a bunch of washings to the exterior during the trip, and one more washing when I got back to Miami. Yesterday, I finally had the chance to take care of the exterior, with a nice clay treatment, polish, sealant, and carnauba wax. (Well, when I say "I," that means that I sat and waited in the lounge at the carwash.) My C-MAX looks like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotomoto Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Added a ScanGuage II. I haven't programmed the special X gauges in yet that will reveal some hybrid specific readings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveofDurham Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Last Wednesday - 16,000+ mile oil change and tire rotation. (We did the first oil change at 6,000 miles.) Also, had front passenger door speaker checked - it was bad and they ordered a new speaker. Last Friday - New speaker installed and 13C07 door chime update performed. Last Saturday - Back to dealer because yellow wrench (Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power) light came on Friday night. No codes or other cause found. Light has not reappeared.

C-Maxgo Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I rode in Max with my new Weather tech front floor liners. I really like the way they look and they will make clean up easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
