Yeah I just couldn't resist. While I'm there I can properly clean my car and UNPLUG from what's going on around me, it does more good than just a clean car...I HATE WINTER TIME
Dave I've gotta be honest, THOSE look soooo much better and I can't say I remember those being on your FJ but it's like they say, the memory is the first thing to go
You will know the v2 Touch-less when you see it, looks rather sus sitting in a measuring container..........................................I'm sure it's the OG version, got it from The Clean Garage on super sale as they couldn't carry it anymore

I was just being funny calling them my summer tyres. While they are both Yokohama G015s, these ones are LT (light truck) construction, they are heavier and more robust, but offer less grip on road and are better off road. I called them summer tyres as I'd rather have them on in summer, they can be quite dicey in the cold and wet, especially now that they are 7 years old. They've been stacked in the a corner of the garage since March 2020 when I bought the black rims so I could put the wider rubber on, I thought about selling them, but they only look good on an FJ.Dave I've gotta be honest, THOSE look soooo much better and I can't say I remember those being on your FJ but it's like they say, the memory is the first thing to go
Btw why did you put them aside for so long and I'm confused about "summer and winter tires" down there

They look solid, no cracks in the rubber, but I have sprayed them with 303 AP a couple of times, and cleaned the wheels. I had to put air in all of them, but they were all down around 19.5 to 20.5 psi, so they were all holding air equally. I'm still considering spraying the black ones a different colour and putting them back on, maybe a dark bronze or gunmetal. There's so many vehicles running around with black wheels now, it's just not cool or distinct anymore. It's like when you see skinny dudes who couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag covered in tattoos, they've made tattoos too uncool, and no, I don't have any tattoos.Are the tires still good being that old

I washed and waxed my brother's car earlier this year, and I know he hasn't touched it since, why would he, the dealer washes it every time it goes in for a service.I coated this van for my brother in law 193 days ago and it hasn’t seen a drop of soap since. I wasn’t prepared to do a wash and his equipment is limited but he at least had the right products. There was no foam cannon so I had to use the soap dispenser on his antique pressure washer to apply the Touch-Less. He at least had good wheel brushes and Brake Buster so cleaning the wheels was the only part that was “normal”. After rinsing off I found an old bucket in his work shed and filled it with a few gallons of hot water and dropped in enough Incredible Suds to wash 5 vans. There was no wash mitt so I found a pack of paper thin Costco microfiber towels and bunched them together to create a makeshift wash mitt. After the contact wash I could assess the coating. The van sits outside 24/7 and under a group of large trees so it’s been covered in sap and whatever other crap I always find on my car every time I visit. It needs a thorough 3 pH wash but this was the best I could do. The coating is performing at an acceptable level on about 2/3 of the van but with another six months of neglect it will be all but dead. The one take away from this is no more free labor from the kindness of my heart unless it’s for the man who contributed half of my DNA or the woman that birthed my children. Everyone else has to pay to play.
