One dealer I was at had a separate body shop on the same property... they would do raids on the tool benches after hours and throw away all silicone products including the detail boy's tire dressings... The stuff would make it around the corner into their building and then into the high dollar paint booth and ruin a days work.
Yup. I'm a carpenter by trade and I wind up doing a TON of refinish work... soon as I see a piece that someone wants resprayed in laquor, I ask if they have used Pledge or the like on it. Price doubles when they say they have and I tell them I'd have to do a hand wiped gel poly on it. Silicon ain't yer friend!
Ok. Point taken. Just keep her out of my paint room.
Only you Commando, I DOOO LIKE BOTH THEM POINTZ
My memory tells me that back in that era, double stripe tires were upsell dealer installed "premium" tires.
I still have the original, date coded, put in the car by Walter P. hisself, spare tire for my 70 300. It's a double white stripe.
Not sure what to tell ye, buddy. I've never been particularly lucky with black plastic on cars... it either soaks up wax or otherwise fades.
