I don't love shiny tires but may give it a shot as well since they sell it locally.

Any thoughts from you or SW on a nice spray topper for ceramic coated cars? I used to use Carpro Reload but I'm out so looking for suggestions if there is something better.

Try Dr Beasley’s Bead Hero…

Gyeon Cure is also very good.

The Hyper Dressing isnt super super glossy. I would say it’s a 70% gloss.

I switched to the same tire dressing you use(d) and have liked it ever since due to no slinging and very high shine. I like stupid shiny tires

I remember you were going to try Dr. Beasley’s but wasn’t sure if you actually did and whether you used it and liked it. I know Bit got some for his Hyundai.

Yeah its the shiniest I have found that doesn't sling...

I did! I like it a lot. Super easy to use, smells good...good beading...

A customer is attempting to pay me to fix a car with another car as my payment.....thoughts? He wants the oil pan replaced on his 2011 infinity G37, the IS300 runs and drives but poorly. Not a manual car.

I also broke two of my personal records for working on cars, set a new best for a head removal and trans replacement.





Had an issue with an engine I built recently, valve guide cracked due to machine shop error. I'm angry but I set a new personal record for head removal in 37 minutes, the hemi is insanely easy to work on.

Also set a record for a trans job on a 2011 charger interceptor, out and replacement in from the time I went to drive the car into the shop and then drove it out took 2:12!

Fastest trans replacement I've ever done, I love how easy Chryslers are to work on. Literally the easiest of any brand

Sounds like your customer needs a break

Heck yeah friend.
As long as it doesn't have a rod knock, bad compression, or slipping transmission it should be worth a couple grand $$$ in beater condition if you can make it run well with good heat and AC.


Ahem, lolol
I see you cut the exhaust pipes for clearance or something.

Awesome work around hack, splice and done... I love it.

Yeah that I did lol! They are welded back how they should be and I did ask if they were okay with it, they didn't care at all......plus it's so much easier vs dropping the exhaust for me!

What in the hell happened to that poor IS300?

Some people shouldn't be allowed to touch cars.

That's what I'm thinking too. lol

It looks like maybe a kid owns it.
And, I'm wondering how in the hell they got the tire bead to stick since it looks like the tires are too narrow for the rims.

Funny thing is a teenager would probably buy that car exactly how it sits.

I know. This is a reallllly good (bad) example.

You might like the VRP if you don't like overly shiny. I am going to try Meguiar's just for kicks and to see the difference but I was pleased with the VRP.

For the spray topper, you might find this thread interesting- Magic Shield Graphene is what someone recommended after testing other products. Link: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/aut...winner-is.html

You need to stop posting new stuff so too often.
I don't like shiny either. I tried all kind of stuff I got from Autgeek. The last thing I bought was Meguiars Tire gel from Walmart. I've been using this same bottle for well over three years because I got it way before COVID. It does the job well for me.
For top spray, I got the Turtle Wax Hybrid Steve recommended a while back. All smells are bad but this product line smell is kind of pleasant. Stop by your neighborhood Walmart. They may have all you need.

that makes no sense at all, lol. do the drive, enjoy the road trip, keep driving it after you get back. it's not like you're selling it any time soon and a few hundred miles will make no difference.

you can have the top at an angle in the bed you know... doesn't have to lay flat but while it's 62" wide, i doubt it's 62" long so just turn 90 degrees?

ftfy.
