Polish and then just wax them every time you wash your car.

^yep. of course, i haven't kept a car much longer than 2-3 years after detailing, but do the cleanup once, and then just typical clay bar and wax every few months is usually enough to not need to re-clean them.

Put the body kit back on. Car came with it when I got it but the double stick tape was coming undone in places and needed to be redone. Getting it off was a pain in the ass, but those adhesive erasers for your drill do actually work.

Most of the workshop guys here to do a layer or two of clear urethane to keep it pristine for a few more years.

I've been running 205 on track for the last few years and will likely bump up to 225 later this year or next.I run a set of cheap 16 x 7 with 225/50 16 on the street.



Can' wait to try these
