stock rims/tires or not, tire shine looks A LOT better than what youre sporting. ive also heard some tire gels lasting up to a month, it just depends on what you get. trust the board when we tell you its worth it.

cardude007617 · 05-13-2007, 09:21 PM

i know it looks sweet but like i have better things to do with my money (cough cough finish system) and detailing isnt my real interest either. i jsut like my car looking good.

laxjax13 · 05-13-2007, 09:41 PM

$5 bottle of meguiars tire shine has lasted me through 2 summers of washin my car.
if u like ur car looking good when its clean its worth the money.

cardude007617 · 05-13-2007, 09:51 PM

only 5 bucks? damn thought it was more than that. anythig else to make my paint look its best?

Jake · 05-13-2007, 10:20 PM

Meguiars tire shine is teh sh!t.

cardude007617 · 05-13-2007, 10:25 PM

Elderas · 05-14-2007, 02:43 AM

atleast yours hides it better than mine. You can spot the smallest of imperfections from a mile away on mine.

cardude007617 · 05-14-2007, 04:55 PM

haha, still sucks either way.

Grreen99GT · 05-14-2007, 04:59 PM

how many imperfections are we talking about here, cause it looks like it is in decent shape in the pics?

cardude007617 · 05-14-2007, 05:18 PM

Graxall · 05-14-2007, 05:37 PM

iceman · 05-14-2007, 05:57 PM

..

when I lived at home.. my parents wised up, and didn't tell me when they were going out of town until that morning, to (try and) keep the festivities to a minimum.. you're a good kid if all you do is wash your car.

cardude007617 · 05-14-2007, 06:11 PM

haha. i should earn a LOAD OF rep points for being a good boy

coupe · 05-14-2007, 07:27 PM

Ive spent 4 hours washing my car a few times.

Put 1000W halogen lights on your paint and see what it really looks like or look at the reflection of the sun in your paint on a bright day, you will think your paint looks anything but new and shows all of its 6 years plus some.

Basic detailing products are pretty cheap, nothing stands out more than a perfectly clean car.

cardude007617 · 05-14-2007, 07:48 PM

well i mean at first glance it looks pretty good.... haha. and i dont want to find out how bad it really is....

coupe · 05-15-2007, 05:14 AM

Ignoring it wont fix it, it will only get worse.

cardude007617 · 05-15-2007, 11:33 AM

true so just getting some touch up paint works right? and of course cleaning the area well before doesnt hurt either.
