Water Spots on Aluminum
Hello All,
I have been following this forum religiously and have since picked up a 2013 GS350 F-Sport. I absolutely love the car and am excited to drive around in it every day.
One thing that has really bothered me with the car, is that the aluminum trim seems to have what looks like water spots on it on the passenger side. It almost looks as if it is etched into the trim. I have tried to clean it off with a few different cleaners to no avail. Any suggestions?
I am also curious as to what people have their audio settings set to. I have ML and the bass even on the middle setting seems pretty high when listening to some music. Is there a sweet spot for the sound adjustments? Should I have surround on? Should my setting be centered for where the volume comes from? I love the sound as it is crystal clear, but sometimes I feel like I need to turn it up a bit but am very cautious about blowing the speakers.
Thanks in advance! You got me through the 2 month long buying process and I feel like I knew more about my car than the previous owner did before I even bought it.

For the audio settings I have Treble at 3 clicks to the right, Mid also at 3 clicks to the right and Bass all the way to the right. I also have the fader 1 click to the rear. I personally turned the surround OFF. I have better surround with it off than I do with it on. The center channel drowns out all the other speakers when surround is on in my opinion.

Current sweet spot that seems to be a general works-for-all set of settings. Pure audiophiles will probably object but all of our ears hear a little differently.
