My neighbor gave me a bottle of rubber conditioner from chemical guys. I tried to find it on their site but I don't see it. It could be VRP but I'm not 100% sure. I'll have to see if I still have the bottle.

I use Superior Axle Grease on my rubber seals, and I've found it does great to keep my hair in place when I roll the windows down and zoom around town in manual Sport+ mode using my flippers to shift as I listen to some lung thumping bass music.

I use that same stuff on my hair to keep it from getting messed up when the windows are down. Great product!

Changed the oil in it Friday, Castrol full synthetic, and took a sample of the old for analysis. Then Saturday went to get my tires rotated and got a nice surprise! One of the rears was ate to and almost through the wear bars! Just fantastic.

I had a full set of Michelin Defenders put on. Not exactly sporty, but they're quiet and get the job done.

I do have a new noise though at 53mph that I've gotta look into sometime... or just turn up the stereo

That is a really nice shade of blue. Looks fantastic. You did your own ceramic coating?

Looking good and shiny. Have you guys tried Turtle Wax Hybrid Solution? They have some really nice stuff and you can get from walmart. I picked up this Graphene after hearing good things from Steve. It worked great and is very easy to use.
