Touchless high pressure wash with soap/rinse with poor results

So I took my brand new GX550 to a high-pressure car wash with high pressure soap, clear coat protector and rinse in that sequence. I use a microfiber towel to wipe off the excess but the dirt spots are still there. When I wipe them off it leaves dirt stains like in the second picture.

This car was treated with ECP The Protector package from the dealership. Anyone with similar issues and any suggestions on how I can avoid these spots after a wash?

Random door unlocked notifications

The past few days I have been receiving random door unlocked notifications. Doors were locked with the key and car is parked inside garage downstairs. My unit is upstairs and this is very unsettling especially in the night because I run to the garage to check for thievery. Anyone else have this issue? Any solution?

Pigenius sunshade too tight of a fit

Has anyone used the Pigenius sunshade that retails for $50-60? I feel the fit is so tight you struggle to put it out flat against the windshield because of the grab handles in the way. Are there any other alternatives that are not too tight and easy to put on? Don’t mind if it’s not too tight of a fit

AC button off but blows cold

Anyone notice the button is actually off but the fan blows cold? My auto setting is off and it’s kind of an annoyance. Switching it off or on does nothing as it just blows cold all the time.

How realistic is EB1A with this profile?

Peer reviews: 125

Editorial assignments: Handling editor for a journal with IF of 6, editorial review board member of SAGE journal

Awards: Abstract award from a major conference, top reviewer award (top 5) from a prestigious journal

Easy to buy, nightmare to return and false information - $7.99 return fee

Ordered a $15 key fob that is basically useless because it shields the remote and severely impairs the range. Raised a return but they want to charge me $7.99 for USPS and say it’s because of a “buyer pays” return shipping order. Listing says free returns within 90 days.

Buying anything more than $10 is a huge risk with AliExpress because of their return policies.

Manufacturers certificate of origin - out of state buyer

I financed a 2026 OT+ as an out-of-state buyer and I had it shipped to me. To register it, the DMV needs the manufacturer’s certificate of origin (MCO). The dealership did not send me this document.

Where can I find this and how do I go about it? Thanks!

Looks like the GX550h (hybrid) is already out in the wild. Can change audio to English

Will the 2024-2026 MY GXs see their value increase once the hybrid is out?

Interstate GX550 shipping

I bought a GX550 in Florida with a plan to get it shipped to New Mexico. After assessing open shipping risks, this corridor appears to be high risk for loose rocks/gravel related damage. Has anyone shipped a large SUV in a similar corridor and have shipper recommendations for interstate shipping and how much it would cost? Thank you!

Campo restaurant ads at DFW airport

Been seeing these Campo restaurant (ABQ) ads for months at DFW. Wonder how much they spend on these airport ads - is it a great restaurant?

Edit: I’m moving to ABQ in under a month for the next 3 years! Pretty excited

I’m planning a move in 2 months and not sure which moving company to hire. I have a 2BR apartment with average number of items. Don’t want to pay an arm and a leg. Is it better to hire full service moving or just use pods?

Are investors punishing Meta because it lacks the "landlord" status of Alphabet and Amazon? While they rent out their AI infrastructure to the world via Cloud services, Meta is spending $140 billion on internal tools just to keep people doom scrolling longer.

Meta is still a cash-printing machine with record engagement, but without a Cloud revenue stream to offset this massive CapEx, is this a smart entry point or a "trust me" trap? I bought a lot when Meta was in the trenches last month. Should I buy the dip, or is the lack of a clear AI roadmap a dealbreaker?
