Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
It’s not like I didn’t apply dressings all year long when I lived up north. It’s just second nature to me. Don’t forget about the wheel wells too!
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
While we are on the subject of tires, when I swap winter/summer wheel sets I stack the unused ones in the storage shed for the season
This is the first year I have had the ability to put them away clean and wheels protected
But what about the tires; should I put dressing on or leave them bare since they are stacked sidewall touching sidewall
I guess I’m a bit worried about them somehow sticking together or something even if I let the product cure

You could put some cardboard between them, or buy those overpriced tire covers.
(Full disclosure, I only have one seasonal set of tires...which are in "those overpriced tire covers").

I always used to put cardboard under the bottom one when I kept them in a concrete floor in a rented storage unit
I have 3 sets so pricey covers aren’t happening
I’ll just start cutting cardboard

They have some cheap ones on Amazon for $29-$33 for a set of 4. They have the tire rack ones on sale right now, $40-50, funny the ones without the tire rack logo are more expensive, I guess they give you credit for advertising for them.

I bought the tirerack ones years ago. The branded ones were cheaper then too. They are really sturdy, quality covers. I bought a few sets, all still like new.

I don't think they had the blank ones when I bought mine, that was probably 15 years ago.

I got mine around 2014. They had the choice then. I saw the money saving for just having their logo, it was an easy choice, lol. The logo is actually nice too. And saved the cash.
