Default I use P21S Wheel Cleaner 'bout every 3-4 days.

Works very well. But, lasts for only a day or so given the black residue build-up.

Default OT...how u like

The RE-01Rs, thinking about a set for next year. My car came with the Contisport 3s, and they suck the big one. With those things, the car pulls one way or another when there are grooves in the road, it's horrid. My winter tires perform better.
Any issues so far?
thanks

Default They're very sticky and hold real well at high speeds

I believe that there are many owners on the boards who are very happy with these tires. However, they may only last 10k miles or so.

Recently, I had six 25-minute sessions at Infineon Raceway and they were extremely responsive. Although, it was my first track event. So, what do I know. . .

My milltek turns gold after every track event. "Mothers Mag &amp; Alum" polish seem to work best.

Default Not sure Milltek chromes anything...

...from their FAQ's section:

"Our tailpipes are made from the highest quality polished stainless steel, we have found that the best way to clean them is to use a Silver Polish. The actual specific product we use is called Silvo Silver Polish with Wadding. It's important to get the one with the wadding inside as it's really good at getting it clean. Clean the bulk of the soot off the surface with an old rag first and then use the polish/wadding to get your tailpipe(s) sparkling again."
