I remember you getting new tires but forgot what you went with. The Goodyear F1 tires don't seem to the grippiest tire I have seen. The tires are in good shape, just planning ahead.

Well hind sight being 20/20 now I know I should have been more careful. Now I leave a good half inch between my path and the plastic.

Anyone know the reason Ford chose the F1 tires? Can't say the stock pirellis are amazing but they did alright with the brembo package and the boss tires, wonder how they compare to the goodyears.

Does that new trim gel get rid of wax residue?
This is on Jen's car but..





It doesn't get rid of it but it does hid it for a couple of months.

Might be worth it then. I have a few spots around the door trim and mirrors. Not too worried about the front valance where most of it is since I want to replace it.

Alan,

I totally feel that every time. For me it's actually therapudic to polish out the paint and detail out every inch of the exterior & interior. My wife thinks I'm nuts but *shrug* I dunno it just feels great when she's done.

Congrats on such a beautiful piece of machinery! Enjoy her!

Thanks Tom, I will. I keep working to expand my skills. I just bought a Griot's DA polisher but haven't got to use it yet. I need to spend some time getting to know the polisher and the polishes.

I like detailing too, but for me the best release is turning a wrench.
