I learned a long time ago that I do not like any of these applied sealants on the interior or the exterior. I just use good ole elbow grease and a microfiber towel to clean my cars interiors and exteriors. And I never leave the windows down while parked. All that dust and grime gets into the cracks and crevices of the interior and is a pain to try and clean out.

The concept of these types of sealants or protectants is for all the right reasons, but in the end I feel they work against you because it makes it harder for you to correct something later when the protectant fails to prevent what you thought it would prevent. So for me just standard interior cleaners, and good ole wax for the exterior and regular washing. I know it's probably more work than some magic sealant that claims I'll never have to wash my car again but I don't think I've ever seen a true magic sealant so I'll stick with the tried and true.

Sorry to see you are having this difficulty with your new car. It does suck.

I'm curious why you were so quick to get rid of the Factory NPP exhaust though. Plenty of people love how that sounds and it's controllable from the touch screen. I'm just not sure what there is to gain performance wise over the factory NPP. Maybe a different sound/tone but I highly doubt any real performance gain was had.

Forget "magic" but there is new tech out there.....Your message is correct, however you're going to the extreme. There are plenty of products that are halfway between a coating that needs to be polished off if applied wrong, and a wax. Wax is dead. It only lasts 3 to 4 months whereas Polymer lasts longer goes on far easier. A polymer sealant csn be washed off with Dawn liquid. Look at some stuff like black fire Crystal seal or ultima paint guard. Wipe them on, and walk away, no buffing. Nothing can be easier and still just as effective.

Seems like a "my ash tray is full time to sell it" situation. Welcome to owning and modding a car, shit happens and then you fix it or live with it.

Interior damage: Have you consulted an attorney yet?
Exhaust: Thats a relatively cheap fix.
HVAC issue: Warranty will take care of it.

Youre just which is understandable. These issues are not that bad compared to some people that had whole engines replaced with less than a 1000 miles or still fighting dealers/GM months later. Your car is structurally and mechanically good. Get your AC fixed and talk to a lawyer (some do free consults). Good luck

No attorneys seem to want to deal with it not enough money, called 10 still waiting on call backs .

Exhaust is the second time and they are blaming burkas manufacturers gonna try for a third

I felt like the exhaust just wasn't strong enough I love the exhaust if borla it completes the car

well I'm contemplating wether or not I want to FIX, sell, or trade in for the same 1le, or go back to the corvette or maybe even zl1. The car has ceramic coating on exterior 2200 , and clear bra 1200, front and rockers and borla for 2500. fluids changed to royal purple they are going to fix the hanging exhaust friday! If your interested PM me I'm on the fence ... honestly I'm just very OCD with even a swirl mark or tiny molecular smears but the added stuff should offset that cost i think 99% of humans wouldn't notice the interior.

PM me lets talk
