    autosol & rags... tried this polishing pad thing & the polishing blocks but all it did was ruin a patch on one rim & then I couldnt get it to work properly most of the time.... so I settled for sitting there with a couple rags & autosol... & elbow grease

    Sorry call me stupid, but what is the attraction with lowering the back end like that? Do you really want your car driving like a boat? What happens if you want 5 full grown people in your car? With springs like that, 3x 90 kilo in the back isn't going to look good! Sorry, I don't see why it's attractive!
