You are going to make me have nightmares again about swirls and paint scratching... Ugh

As to the person who asked what to do with snow buildup on car? Answer: nothing. Let it melt off on its own. Never ever touch paint unless you are washing it using the right tools and methodology.

I wish I could just let it melt here in Germany. It's illegal to have more than 5mm or so of snow on any surface of your car and drive it in traffic. They don't want it blowing off while you are driving thus becoming a projectile and hitting another drivers' car.

Nice... glad to see my 2 year old one doesn't look that different. They look like tanks. For comparison purposes, take a side by side photo of the stock shifter and the MGW. Be prepared to shake your head vigorously in disbelief, or burst into laughter. Probably both.

Phil, don't be so sure of 23 days. What will determine my car coming out is how clear the roads will be from salt, dirt, rocks, sand, debris, puddles, etc.... It might be another 2 months.

Btw, remind me to give you this for Christmas this year

These are the only three dressings I use, for high to medium gloss, with ZERO sling. Please don't ever post pics of dirty tires again

I have tried them all and I am hooked on only one product. I get about 4-5 month shine from it. Unreal stuff ! Not a gel or goo.

Then you realize you can go 155 MPH LEGALLY and it's all better and the extra correction work is all worth it. Then you go fill the tank again and hit the road. Ha Ha!!!

You're right. I forgot the tire dressing when I went to NH. Maybe that's why the state trooper gave me the ticket. LOL

Zero sling. It acts like a high gloss paint. Dried with wet look and is not oil based. I would have to say,, when you apply, cover, block or use a guide along the lip of the rim, so not to get any on it.
