I don’t know about the CT plastic, but the DeLorean has black plastic rocker panels, painted fascia’s, etc. and no owner has complained about BKF discoloration. As mentioned, I do one panel at a time and rinse it well. Don’t be afraid to use plenty of water. For extra precaution I would wash...

Interesting. I guess it’s your business. As a DeLorean owner for 11 years and the leader of the club, I have found the best way to get a squeaky clean surface with no residue is to follow the instructions on the BKF bottle which is to rinse immediately with water after applying the BKF. I do...

Wait a minute. Are you recommending to follow up the barkeepers friend application immediately with Windex? You are not following the manufacturer’s instructions on both these products. Please explain why you are recommending this. BKF needs to be rinsed off immediately with WATER. That’s how...

Sure, thanks for the question. Try a clean, microfiber cloth that has been dampened with water. I get the cloth soaking wet, and then wring it out well. This should remove fingerprints. You may have to rub back and forth a couple times for a stubborn fingerprint. So, the best product is no...

Still, the manufacturer of Windex recommends an ammonia free version of their product for stainless steel. As I’ve posted before, (and even if you use an ammonia free version), the DeLorean Club of Florida found that continued use of Windex leaves a film buildup. A haze develops and it looks...

For the collective good of the CT community, I’m going to re-post this information from ideaXfactory every time I see someone recommend Windex for stainless steel:

They’ve been electrical since 1955! ?

Happy New Year to Cyber friends.

Again, I know how it works, and again It looks bad. The comparisons I drew were to illustrate that point based on what was happening in the company and the market at the time the shares were sold. The share price peaked in Q4 2021 and halved from roughly $40 to $20 and the delivery estimates...

The CEO pay is not confusing to me, and I still feel it is insane in this instance. Optically, it looks bad timing-wise. Also, Lucid to Tesla is not a good comparison IMO. Tesla is now an established leader in EVs, with healthy and growing manufacturing volume. They produced 1.37 million...

Good luck to Cory. Although, this factoid prevents me from looking at the brand seriously and certainly investing in their stock. "Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson's compensation for 2022 was higher than any other car company's CEO, according to this year's Automotive News CEO Compensation Survey. The...

EV's are politically polarized for some people. Honestly, the anti-fossil fuel vanity license plates on EV's don't help the situation. This genius should have taken another car to stock up on gas before the storm: ?

Agreed. It is "Lightening" fast speed from the Ford VP posturing after the CT reveal to now. I bet the video clip and image of the F150 being dragged uphill by the CT provided extra motivation to the company to produce their own. Good for them.

Criminal markups, no resale clauses, getting sued for a share of profits when you sell your vehicle? Wow, the dealer buying experience is getting downright hostile! I guess building customer loyalty is a thing of the past.

Agreed. as we go forward, if there is one or two easy-to-use adapters, then that qualifies as universality IMO. Needing to have several in order to use a myriad of plug designs across the charging network is another issue.

That's a good move by Shell. I use Shell gas exclusively for my 2 cars that require 93 octane because of the quality. As the tide turns to EVs, Oil companies will be well served to first add chargers to gas stations, and then eventually, follow this approach to completely convert some locations...

Wow, this fact shows how significant Tesla has become since its founding 19 years ago and the trajectory of the EV market. They have achieved an annual production of half of the number of cars as the well established company that invented the car 136 years ago. Even more impressive is that Tesla...

I seriously considered a Mercedes Benz and or a BMW as I'm in the luxury sedan stage in my life. I test drove a few and did a lot of research, including talking to current owners. Here's the problem with both brands as I see it. They are really nice cars, but the total cost of ownership is...

Yeah, I saw that teaser. Very cool. They even set up a separate company for the project and hired some C suite executives, including Joost de Vries for CEO of the new division (from Karma). Rumors are flying around about details, but I'll wait for communication from DMC. It would certainly be...

I don't watch the Superbowl, so I missed the ads. Thanks for posting it. Although I find Austin Powers movies entertaining, IMO, that gm ad was cringeworthy and didn't convey any message. {sarcasm on} Since gm is leading the transition to EV's, maybe Tesla should begin advertising to catch up...
