Default Look at these *****

The scratched one came on my car when I bought it. It's interesting how we conform to do things a certain way every time. This persons rings obviously scratched the ball only on one side, leaving the other side fine.

Always reaching the same way, damaging it the same way every time over and over.

Then, there's my new one

They do, but you need more window tint. Using FULL tint (windshield as well) I was able to control it quite well.

^ love it ... it's not the properties of the ball that's the problem, it's the amount of window tint
