Looks like a real awesome project. Looking forward to seeing those pictures!

I am happy to see you post that. Based on my experience with them, I agree.

I've had Goodyears, Michelin and Contis on my vehicles. Honestly, the only thing that has lasted longer than a few weeks was TW Endura Shine. However, I recently pummeled my Michelin Xi3s with degreasers, Tuf Shine and Megs and covered them with two coats of 303 Tire Balm. This is my latest test...

Best forum on the internet. Welcome to the group.

Wow, respect. That fits the true definition of "detailed." (Sent via my mobile device...)

Not sure it comes out clearly in the photographs, but I put on two coats of 303 Tire Coating. As some of you know, I'm a shiny tire junky - not greasy shiny, but shiny. Two coats gives it a pretty good shine. Definitely needs a completely clean surface, as you can tell by some poor adherence...

Mine go on this weekend... (Sent via my mobile device...)

This. Even with a supercharger, it takes me about 45 minutes to fully charge. Fine, I can go have lunch while it charges. But for commercial industry or those who are time sensitive, this is the big problem to overcome. If you have only a 300 mile range but could supercharge in 5 minutes and...

Well, I think some of you miss the point about Tesla. The major impact of Tesla will be down the road. To say that Tesla is a pimple on the bottom of the auto industry is obvious. However, pimples attract attention and can grow to boils and subsequently to cellulitis, etc. (How's that for an...

The Roadster looks beautiful... Everything but the steering wheel. Given what I've seen in battery tech over the last 5 years, I do t think 600 miles is an unreasonable claim. At $250,000, only the elite will have one. As for electric vehicles, it will be a long time before they are in the...

I don't think it is either. My wife's Highlander has nice paint, but not any better, not any worse. Having said that, I think it is fairly easy to correct light swirling on the Model S with a fine polish like SF4000/4500, Sonax Perfect Finish or m205 with some white pads. It's really not a...

The Model S paint is pretty thin, unless you are working on a multicoat car (pearl white, red). The midnight blue and the pacific blue (what I have) run pretty thin as well. Roof and hood range from 105-120 microns. Side panels about 100. Real thin 80-90 microns down by the bottom of the quarter...

That's because cleaning wheels is like cleaning one's own undercarriage. It's just not fun and it gets dirty real soon again.

I went to Wheel Tech in Skokie (Highland Park?) a few years ago when I had a few rims with curb rash. I also got my wheels powder coated a different color. Very happy with their work. I have a second set of rims that I will probably coat after this winter. (Sent via my mobile device...)

Lol. No transmission in that car. My door handle is stuck. The auto extending door handles are probably the most unreliable feature of the car. They replace them generally free of charge because they're known to fail. (Sent via my mobile device...)

Nope! Transmission! (Sent via my mobile device...)

Just kidding... But it was there when I dropped off my ride. (Sent via my mobile device...)

Definitely agree that it won't hurt the lubricity. I see a double blinded trial coming on here... ;) (Sent via my mobile device...)
