Ares- my inferno

Center caps?

They are sitting on the counter but they are black as well and the lugs so should look good together.

Black lugs?

Lug nuts. The thingys that hold the tires on. My brain is stupid tonight.

Lol, I know what u meant. Are they black in color

See dumb..... Yeah they are black probably not AS shiny as the rims but I do not think it will be enough to make it look bad.

Should look good

Congrats, they look real good and love that tire setup

Thanks I cannot wait to get them on.  I pulled the car out on Sunday washed and dried it and it rained.  Sigh.  I had to order a few things from Adam's which will be here Saturday. I took a few days off from work because its been crazy so I am going to try to clay the car on Friday, that way I can just work on the paint in the garage if the weather is stupid next week too.




Hand wash your car and all types show up I guess.

What did you get from Adams? When you get done with your car, I'll stop by, and you can fix my jacked up paint. It's pretty gross.

I switched over to Adams fully last year and its amazing how its helped my car.  This time I have buttery wax, H2O guard and gloss, deep wheel cleaner and some other things I cannot remember.  I am going to try to clay the car on one of my days off so I can wax and seal it in the garage.

In the last pic I posted all I did was hand wash it and lightly sprayed it with detail spray. Have not even really started the process yet, was just getting the dust off it.

I am far from being good at detailing so I might make yours worse.

Adams stuff is pretty decent, but just a FYI a lot better shit on the market and some of it cheaper. You mentioned your going to clay your car soon. Dont you have the mitt, still havent bought one as i want to try someones before dropping $50 on it.

I like Adam's but I only buy when its on sale. Right now certain things you buy the gallon you get a 20 oz free, 15 % off the whole order, free shipping $75 and over. and they are throwing samples in the box. I saved almost $100 on this order and I am good all summer now.

Yep I have the mitt, I did the whole damn car in 30 mins vs 30 mins just for the hood. I am sure its not getting every little thing like the actual clay but its mighty close. You get like 50 clayings out of it I think, I used it two times last year. Its back it the box it came in until I use it on Monday probably.

Tires are out of the Jeep since I am going to the airport in the morning.

Mock up



Bye bye wheel gap

Thanks to Vikes for coming up and swapping them out. So happy!

Looks real good

Very nice!

Very nice! Looks good again with those puppies back on there. Can you link me to the clay bar glove pretty please? I've yet to strip off the crap from the dealer & put a real coat of wax & polish on...I feel like it has rained every day since I got the Charger...

I have the Nanoskin mitt.

Took the car out this morning to take my cousin to the airport by 4 am. Ugh.

Roads were still wet and I really wanted to see how the new tires are in the rain. I knew I was going to re-wash the car and clay it today so why not.

Tires did outstanding. They are not noisy at all. The car seemed a bit stiffer than with the Pirelli's on it but that was fine with me. The big test was hard acceleration and there was a big of spinning but nothing like I was getting before. And the tune, oh the tune, the car just keeps pulling and pulling. I cannot wait til dry pavement. Very happy overall with the tires glad I went with these so far.

You are just using a canned tune, correct? If so have you thought about an email tune from Johan? With your mods there is no need to spend $400 with Tim for a dyno tune. Email tune will be night and day over the canned tunes. Probably cost $150

Its the 93 tune off the predator, have been running the 91 for years wanted to try the next step up. I am glad I did. Tim will not tune mine for that exact reason, nothing to warrant him taking my money. Yet.

I may give that mitt a go. I've been needing to clay.

Cheaper on Amazon.

Nice find sir.
Everything I have read on the detail forums say the mitt is great

Sweet! Gotta love Amazon!

Yep that is a good deal, it wasn't on Amazon, well there were some but the reviews sucked. I was told the particular one I posted was the one to get so I went with Chemical Bros, plus I wanted to get some of the hard waterspot remover from them as well.

I liked using it a lot, I tend to drop the clay and the mitt goes on your hand so that pretty much eliminates that. I used my right hand in the mitt and my left hand I went back over the area doing the touch test until it felt smooth. I did check the mitt every so often to see if it was picking up anything large and if I saw anything I picked it off the mitt. That was the only thing I was uneasy about, doing the whole car and having something large in the mitt and scratching the living hell out of it. But the same thing can happen with regular clay, yeah you fold it around but if you have something big in it there is a chance it can come back up and same thing.

Hope you guys like it once you get it. I checked mine on Sunday and it still feels like new. I used it two times last year and its back in its original package and it lived in one of my wash buckets in the garage all winter so its pretty durable.
