;D Just beautiful.
Can I ask you what tire dressing you use. I can't get my tires to look that wet.
Awesome paint job also.
Cheers Mike

Thank you all for the kind words! Compared to my other 2G, I would say the old one was about a 7/10 in condition -- this one is easily a 9. The seats look and feel brand new; the back seats still have stickers on them from the factory! It's sort of crazy to think that it's in such good condition after 75k miles.
As for tint -- fear not. It is on the way. Might be tomorrow!
I use Meguiars Hot Tires for the wheels. I agree, looks nice, but it doesn't last very long. Once I use up my bottle, I might switch to something new.

Sexy car! I am in the same boat as you with the tire shine.
I have a bottle of the Megs that's 95% done. ArmorAll Tire shine - Orange box, comes with applicator - Horrible stuff, not recommended

ArmorAll Tire shine - Orange box, comes with applicator - Horrible stuff, not recommended Thanks for the heads up. I may well have been lured into one with an applicator. I hate spraying and then having to wipe the rims clean. I'm still trying to figure out why nobody makes a "Tire Shine Marker" where you can just rub it on from some sort of tube? Seems simple enough... Maybe I'll make my own... ;D And thanks again, for the compliments. She's in the shop right now -- 15% tint on all 4 windows and the back. More pics soon.

So you're saying that's a good buy, then?

Indeed!
The hot tire is good stuff - if you don't let it dry it will make an absolute mess and the fact that it destroys a shop rag. It really gives a deep wet look. However if you want an applicator with a more gel like substance - more accuracy applying, than try the megs I linked above. I thought it was a great product. It lasted a little better through the rain than the spray did.
There is a saying they use in Southeast Asia that I think applies to this situation: Same same but different

Sorry if I start pic whoring, someone hit me. Just hit the pay-n-spray down the block to clean up the road grime from my trip to Chicago this weekend. It didn't do a very good job. :-\ But, I snapped some pics anyway to preview the new tint. 15% on all windows, I'm very happy with it so far. Expect a proper wash and possibly another photoshoot in the city this weekend. Pics are from my iPhone, so they're much lower res. Enjoy!

I've tried several tire products and this is the best that I've come across. My sig picture shows the tires after being treated with Meguiar's Endurance (not a bad shine for a night shot!)
