I've been happy with my i5 and the latest update too.

What year is your MKX? That does not sound right at all. Mine will bake you like a cookie.

845 is the strongest wax you can buy. Congrats on getting some! Shake the living Hell out of it. It needs to be runny but coagulates when it sits. Shake for like 5 mins..I'm not kidding. Put on with a foam or mf applicator. PUT IT ON AS THINLY AS YOU CAN. THIS IS VITAL TO YOUR SUCCESS AT REMOVING IT. Let it haze, then remove with a soft micro fiber. You will use several to remove. Let me know how it goes for you.

2nd Edit: I missed you're from Canada. (I am too, but I get all my stuff from the US as I'm on the border). Eshine does carry CG stuff, but they don't have the water spot remover listed. Chris Pace is the owner. Call him and see if he can bring some in for you. If not, it might be worth your while to get it anyway, even if you do have to order from the US. It is a very, very effective water spot remover.

Wander back into the shop (through an outside door) and watch the tech...Hell, take him a coffee and ask him to show you. Betcha he would.

Good for you! They look great.

WTF?!? ^

Norm, if you don't mind, I'll just copy and paste what I responded in my PM to you to share with anyone else who may be having the same issue. Norm, If it is indeed water spotting then that is the result of the mineral deposits in the water drying on the wheels. I would stay clear of the CLR metal product...I'd be afraid it would be too strong and may scratch them. I would first try straight vinegar. Put some in a spray bottle, spray it on and let it dwell for like 10 minutes. Vinegar is acetic acid which is mild. Rinse, wash with a mild soap (Duragloss 901 is great and is available locally). Rinse again. Do you have a leaf blower? That's a great way to dry your wheels (and paint) without touching them. If not, a soft drying micro fibre. If the vinegar doesn't work, try this: http://www.detailedi...-P194/16-oz-S1/ It's much stronger acid, but should not scratch the wheels. Put it on with a mf and remove with a different one. Wash afterward. You should seal them with this when you get them better: http://www.detailedi...-P668/16-oz-S1/ That's one of the strongest waxes on the market...don't let it's low price fool you! Hope that helps. Edit...after seeing the shot on my computer, I whole heartedly agree you've got water spotting. The above steps should help you without scratching the plastic. Collonite metal wax is another good product you could try as well. I really think the CG water spot remover will work and be the fastest for you to boot. Just don't forget to seal it in so you don't have to waste your time doing that shit again.

Congrats on your new ride!

I run AMSOIL in my MKX and change it myself.

I thought the autolock was when you started driving and it locks the doors and the autounlock is when you shut if off and open your door, all the others open?

Of course they did nothing b/c that TSB did not apply to going around a corner. If anyone can supply one for that instance, it would be appreciated. Instead, they're gonna hook up some black box thing that I have to push a button on when it happens. I am also getting my headlight lens replaced as it has condensation in it that will not go away.

Here is mine wearing its winter Blizzaks and Raceline wheels. It got an ONR wash yesterday. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t12/rhowitt/Detailing%20shots/65EBD8DF-AF0E-438A-9FC9-74E093D4D44A-650-0000007A853316A5.jpg Closeup of wheel & tire: http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t12/rhowitt/Detailing%20shots/F5054BC5-8A75-4663-B04F-5D4DFEED8184-650-0000007A8943BDB5.jpg

Good find! You're gonna love it!!

OK, shutting the i5 off made all the difference. I wasn't able to test it yet to see if it actually works, but at least the setting is correct now.

Congrats either way!!

That is gorgeous! From the side, it kinda reminds me of my FX, which is a good thing. I know Lincoln is putting a lot of effort into their designs to differentiate themselves from Ford. I am very excited to see what they do with the MKX! I guess that might be next year's auto show??

A warm welcome from a fellow Canuck!

I got the update with the new Nav card. I am not receiving notification from Sync when I receive a text. I have an i5. What do I need to do to receive notification? I went into options and changed it to the first noise that is listed, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks. Mine acts up when I go around a corner and then get back on the gas. I wonder if the difference will prevent them from doing this TSB?

Welcome from a fellow Canuck.

I got mine in Detroit for considerably less than in Canada. Do your research and then you'll know if you can't get them thrown in what your options are. If you're getting a very good rate on financing, it might be worth it to pay slightly more for them and get that total included in what you finance. Lots to consider.

Mine's at the dealer for this right now. Does anyone have the TSB# so I can make sure they do it?

Duragloss foaming interior cleaner.

Both ONR and the Duragloss one is great! That's all I use in the summer. In the winter I power wash it in the garage with hot water to get rid of the salt
