  3. Wax recommendations?

    I am hesitant to make a recommendation because, I live in a mild climate, rarely drive on the open road, park in a carport, and less than 3,000 mi. When my Maverick was less than a month old, I applied two coats of Turtle Wax Graphene Spray Wax, a week apart. It was very easy. I applied it...

    The secret is not in understanding the two motor generators and an internal combustion engine, the secret is in understanding planetary gear sets. After watched numerous YouTube videos on planetary gear sets, I concluded, they are magic.
