2020 Tucson SEL interior plastics refresh
RESTORING PLASTICS INTERIOR...

Spent some time today refreshing interior plastics on my 2020 SEL Tucson. I really like Cera Trim from 'The Last Coat'. Been using it for the last 6 years.

Still need to refresh the exterior and engine Trim.

Center Console & Entertainment Area complete.. finally found the last Carbon Fiber carbon pieces.

Entertainment covers were the hardest to find. Didn't think they even existed. They look good.

SUMMER HEAT DROPPING INTO THE 90s. Can Finally get outside into the garage.

Spent about 90 minutes scrubbing the tires and cleaning the wheels. Then cleaned the interior... a ton of dog hair. Finished steam cleaning the dust & dirt in the engine bay. Tucson still needs a wash but its a start.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT!!! had my first CEL. Scared the hell out of me. Lol.

Got home pulled my old $13 OBD2 scanner and ran some diagnostic tests which were all good.

Pulled the DTC code... a P0455.

>> diagnostic trouble code P0455 means the computer found a large leak in the Evaporative Emission Control (EVAP) system. This system traps fuel vapors so they do not escape into the air. It is safe to keep driving, but your check engine light will stay on and your car will fail an emissions test.

** Loose or Bad Gas Cap: The rubber seal gets old, or the cap was not clicked tight after getting gas.
** Purge Control Valve: A valve in the engine area gets stuck open.
** EVAP Hoses: A rubber hose under the car near the gas tank or charcoal canister has a crack or hole.

TRNSPARENT REFLECTIVE PAINT ON LICENSE PLATES TO STOP RADAR.

IT'S BS FOLKS AND USING ITON YOUR LICENSE PLATE IS ILLEGAL

*** Rust-Oleum 214944 is a 10 oz semi-transparent clear specialty reflective finish spray paint designed to illuminate painted surfaces under direct headlights or bright light for nighttime safety and visibility. It costs roughly $12 to $15 per single can (or around $72 to $75 for a 6-pack).

** Product Uses and Specifications
-- Surfaces: Works on metal, wood, plastic, concrete, and masonry.
-- Best for: Mailboxes, driveway markers, bicycles, helmets, and trash cans.
-- Drying time: Dries to the touch in about 20 minutes.
-- Coverage: Covers up to 15 square feet per can (best applied in multiple light coats).
>>> Internet Claims and Traffic Cameras
-- The viral rumor: Social media trends often suggest spraying license plates with Rust-Oleum 214944 to block traffic enforcement or photo radar cameras via flash reflection.
-- Does it work? Testing shows it increases nighttime reflectivity under direct bright light or flash, but it is largely ineffective in daylight and illegal to alter license plates with reflective coatings in many jurisdictions, often resulting in fines rather than blocked tickets.

SEAT COVERS.... almost time.
Almost time to replace the seat covers on the Tucson. Its been over three years and the passenger sidebis getting worn. The wife is short and rough on them.

Looking at some sets on Amazon. Hard to choose. Not looking at the cheap sets. Those are crap.

The SETS.... Decisions, decisions.
