I've now had 2 wireless carplay adapters, both from amazon, both worked maybe 70% of the time. The other 30% of the time they would freeze, not connect, or just not ever get recognized by the truck. Pretty annoying to unplug and replug the adapters all the time.
Looking for a reliable...
What a damn bummer! Mine came back with all kinds of grease marks, weird scratches, the rear headliner is drooping, and they broke a piece of the c pillar trim. Going to love this phone call to the dear tomorrow... Should have f'n known better.
I am only hauling one bike at a time usually, so I can't help much with that. My Evil is fully ridewrapped and I use a little piece of pipe insulation under the downtube because I'm crazy and I spent WAY too much money on this bike.

I use the ceramic on everything but glass. Worked perfect on the plastic / rubber. I didn’t rinse, but did a good quick detailer wipe before the IPA. The clay was very minimal.
NIce. Carnuba always looks great. CarPro has a GREAT reputation so thats why I used them. My truck lives in a pretty terrible environment (lots of tree sap and pollen) , so I went for the strongest protection I could install myself. I didn't polish as my paint was good enough for me, just...
