If anyone knows how to disable the tire monitoring, please post. I was told by the wheel shop that they wouldn't work because of the type of valve stem. Is this true or B.S.

Are your wheel 2 piece? if they are then that may be the problem for the tire pressure sensor to work. I'm not sure but that's what i heard from a member in here that have experience it

It is a 2-piece wheel. If anyone can help, or knows anyone that does, have them post on this thread.

I found this from a thread in here. Hope this help

Of course, you now have no way of knowing you are losing air pressure in a tire. I recommend looking into a set of wheels that the sensors will fit in...

Thanks TIM817, I saw that thread, but didn't want to go through the trouble of having all the monitors moved. Hopefully there is a way to do this without switching sensors and tires.

My shop was able to put the sensors back on my Volks. Not sure about the Racing Harts though but I'm almost sure it will work. Wheels looks awesome BTW..

How did you apply that nanowax to get it like that? Did you use microfiber cloths to remove it once applied?

I just got my Blue Onyx Pearl a few weeks ago and would love to wax it up but am afraid of adding swirls to new and 99% perfect paint due to my own ignorance...

You can use Zaino. This color seems to be very similar to the Acura RL's blue which is what I had - I put zaino on with an applicator pad and did not have any swirling. Great stuff.

Where are the pics of your car?

I did use a microfibre cloth for the waxing. It works great. As far as the Zaino, everyone should check out their website. They have some unreal mirror finishes.
