I thought you used the "professional detailer"? You mean you "hose" her off when she's done?


I can't believe I went there!

 

21 degrees in KC last night...I think we all need to go out & put some more CO2 in the atmosphere...

 

I can...

 

hose???

 

Cleaned mine up yesterday...bought a toilet bowl brush with a long wooden handle. Cleaned the inside of the wheels pretty good. Only had to flush twice!

 

Well, I fired up the pressure washer & gave it a shot from the outside...works OK...they don't come out perfect...kinda like the effects of a car wash...it's much better...but there's no substitute for washing by hand... & lots of elbow grease!

 

This is what I use, The Power Brush

It works really fast and gets into all the corners.
Laitner makes all kinds of brushes for everything you can think of.

Pressure washer works great, it gets most of it and I'm not letting anyone crawl under to see if I got it all. Especially anyone on this forum... some of you would be much to critical. lol

 

The forum cleanliness posse will be congregating in your driveway at 4:30 PM, chairman Andrew will be performing the inspection. Non-compliance will result in the forcible removal of your keys for a period of no less than one month!

 

Ouch, I knew it!! I guess I will go forward with the stealth painting otherwise you will probably find those chicken nugget crumbs between the drivers seat. I hate it when the popcorn chicken tips over and it always falls between the seats. Maybe the pressure washer will do the trick there too.

 

Andrew ! How did you get your car to Levitate

now that every body talks how easy the wheels are to take off ect...
this morning i desided to rotate the rear tires, then during the process see a nail had to plug the tire dang the tire's sure are tuff.

and your are right this was a easy tire rotation that i have ever done
i noticed that when i jacked up the rear driver side the pass side went up also
is this due to a solid NO FLEX BODY / FRAME.

 

Rotate tires?

 

O.K. FP, you opened a big can of worms. I won't start a new thread on tire rotation and have read all of the old threads but they are quite old and most are 2003/2004 vintage. Any new opinions on the need to rotate the tires on our Crossfires. I don't want to address directional tires as I know you need to dismount and remount them, and of course I know you can't go front to rear, but I see no need to rotate side to side. I don't think that anyone counts to see if the turn left more than right, at least I hope not. Please enlighten me anyone.

 

ya, move one form one side to the other LOL

Tire Rotation Recommendations
Tires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at
different loads and perform different steering, driving
and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at
unequal rates, and tend to develop irregular wear patterns.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.
The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with
aggressive tread designs such as those on all season type
tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain
mud, snow and wet traction levels, and contribute to a
smooth, quiet ride.
Rotate your tires at intervals shown on the maintenance
schedules. More frequent rotation is permissible if desired.
The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should
be corrected before rotating.

 

ok while i had the passenger tire up off the ground i could spin freely
driver side would not spin at all, due to the sudden takeoff's the
R rear passenger side tire spins more, their for moving the driver tire
to the passenger side has a little more tread thus giving me more tread to waste
LOL.

but really just wanted to know how Andrew
How did you get your car to Levitate

 

This was my point of confusion.

 

Andrew's pic is cool of his car levitating from the Rear.

 

Thanks for your posts. Makes sense.

 

Gee...I learn sooo much from these here forums...I use a spray I purchased a my Harley Dealership, spray on, hose off...works on the Harley and the wheels, FP do you allow your daughter to date older men?....as for tire rotation, that is called I will buy new ones when the old ones wear out, which will be when I tell my spouse I need new tires and rims for the car....again.......Doc

 

Wonder if brake dust cleaner spray would get rid of that hard black baked on residue that collects on the inside of the front wheels? If I could get away without having to remove the front wheels I'd be a happy camper. That magic formula that I can spray on and wash off that leaves my front wheels all spiffy is what I need to find. Looks like the back wheel brakes don't really do much except keep the back end in the back...

Searching for that magic liquid...
