It actually fades off one or two meter later, or before you even have time to release the brake pedal if you prefer.
Always wash my tire, calipers, wheels, and prevent any dust sticking with diluted wd-40 in hot (HOT) water. Just needs a good brush and household/kitchen silicon gloves! NEVER ever used commercial products with nasty 'solvents', or those that leave intentional gray'ish residues on your tires.... tactics so that you have to use & buy more of their crap lollll
Those were 3 years old+ tires at the time of pic. Looking even better than new

Coming from you Tom, I treat it as highest compliment. Thx bud
RE taillights, yup I have to agree with you that they are far from being half beautiful. They seemed okay at the time for some reason lolll I all seriousness, they look stunning in dark lighting conditions only. During day time they are chaos-fugly.
I have to disagree on the Butt metering-scale thing. I love butts, everybody lovesss butts

noooooo man, that was actually a bloody hard day of detailing work. I remember that day, was meant for photo shoots (in front of my condo... how poor lollllll).
PS'ed the ground concrete as it was still all wet with running soap traces and all. Looked terrible.
