Removing the rubber nib, removing knobs, removing hair off your tires
used one of the razor blades that we use for clear film installation to clip them off, some use nail clipper or box cutters all good. a nice clean look. something so small and such a big impact ; ) |

No way dude, now they are going to grow back all thick and bushy. Just splash them with some patchouli and add love beads.
But seriously, thanks for helping me feel just a little less OCD (doesn't everybody use a brush to clean mud out of the lettering?). |

I'll have to pick some up soon though. The scratching left a faint outline of the paint circle. |

I feel your pain about Winter tire cleaning. I solve the problem by not driving the car in the Winter.

Same here I try to appreciate how sometimes the splatter patterns make a nice kind of fractal flame job, but does make me hinky till I get it cleaned off. Of course, first I gotta scrape the ice out of the driveway....

Hey, I realize this is an old post but what kind of cover do you use / reccomend for the winter? I will be storing mine this winter as well in a non-heated garage. Any special precautions you take for winterization? do you still fire it up once and a while? do you leave it on a battery tender? etc?
