There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

You mean all the black plastic? And other than soap and water? 303 Aerospace Protectant is good stuff. Doesn't leave an oily film like Armor All does.

WOW :yikes:
after reading the information on the link from Mopar that is just as good as saying
Don't ever Ever ! buy a vehicle with a matte finish, Especially a car or truck or anything else with wheels

No, he is referring to the matt finished paint jobs. They look great but are a bear to maintain, you have to be careful on cleaning or you can accidently polish an area which will look like a permanents blemish. The only cure that I know of is to have a new matt finish top coat applied by a body shop.

I also believe that the new 2014 RTL in magnesium has a matte finish that requires special cleaning.

That stuff is awesome. Bought another bottle last week. A simple cleanng only requires windex though. I have an RS-S also, and have had several matte back vehicles and helmets.
Just sayin'............

I meant to say no waxing needed.
I was worried about that too, so I applied some in a inconspicuous place first, couldn't see much difference, maybe just a little bit darker, but still has the matte finish.

Gee wiz, I didn't pay that much for knee replacement operation! This Doctor is having a laugh isn't he
That would be well over $200 South Pacific Peso's (a.k.a the Australian Dollar) plus postage.
