Little secrets

This should be in the apperance section but since i did it to a V6 car and it works wonders i am sharing it with my buds first... Moderater do what ya will with it after this...


Goto walmart and get ya a 3.5 pound bucket of oxy-clean... sells for around 15 bucks or so... Get the orange can cleaner thats near it too... says something about smells like oranges cleans like mad... Anyways get a 16oz spray bottle and a soft brissle brush. Mix 1/2 a oxyclean cup or 3 tablespoons to 16oz water and go after the stains ya have in your seats, carpets ect ect.... It took me exactly 5 minutes to get tar stains out of my back seats that have been there for a year. I then took our kirby and attached the dry cleaning attachment, added the drycleaning agent with 4 table spoons of the oxyclean.... OLY CHIT!!!!! the car looks new on the inside.... The orange spray is good as a degreeer and general cleaner... works well on the engine. Just got the car back from getting rear tires 235/60/15 on the rear and 215/65/15 on the front, have layed in tint and cleaned her inside and out... my god she shines well.... Almost willing to go get some paint and touch up the peeling areas... Now if the ram air hoods were not so expensive i might actually go do that in afew weeks - prep for a artic white paint job and call her new lol....

Shouldn't this be in the drag racing forum??

but while were at it, why does 44 PSI front help? especialy when its like way over max PSI limit? for street tires that is. (35PSI MAX, mine)
