After seeing all the nice detail jobs I realized it is time to detail my car! :o So hopefully in a few weeks I`ll get to it. The car was washed last night.

The last time I detailed the car was about 8 months ago.
Let`s see: clayed it with clay magic, an old bottle of Mag`s swirl remover, 3M IHG, 3M wax & maybe #7, but not sure now.

I`ll clay with mother`s, for sure, since I have an unopened box of it.
The dealership washed my car a couple of months ago and they had a "new" kid, that put swirls all ove the car, so I need to get something to remove them. I sealent, and a wax, but I am not sure what I am going to use yet. Reading this board makes you want to buy everything out there. So besides the clay, I am un diceded.
I also want to get a PC.

Are you worried about popping the bead on your rear tire? That is some extreme stretching.

I was about to say the same thing about the tire stretching on the rear rim.

No - I have 15000 miles on them already.
Extreme stretching - I know of a car that has 235s on an 11" wheel.
That is crazy if you ask me. However this size tire is within the wheel manufacturer`s recommendation.

I am getting new tires for the front whhels and will put regular size tires on them. I have to raise the front of the car a little higher. Had to have the oil pan replaced twice.:mad:
