After they powder coat them I think they put new ones on them. It is included in the price, but I would have been just as happy if they left them off. I don't need to do free advertising for Brembo.

he lives on the one over-pass street that has a clean 4-loop. I go out there at 11-2am and do laps for 20 minutes.

I had to replace the passenger side cv axle seal. Dealership quoted me 500+ for the job. said it would take three hours labor and wanted to keep the car for 3 days. Something didnt add up so i said F it and bought the seal the friction modifier and a new axle nut for about 25 dollars and two bottle of royal purple 75w90 and did it myself. Job is a major pain the the ass though lol.

Silly me. I drove over some yellow paint on the highway and it splattered all over the back and a little under the car. Not sure how I did it tbh because tires are fine. I didn’t notice it really until I came home and parked. Was like wtf!!! I haven’t pressure washed it yet because I tried getting it off another way then got tired not sure if pressure wash will help tho I’ll see later. Warm water/soap and rag didn’t help, rubbing alcohol/hydro peroxide didn’t help, edge of a credit card and some lube helped. Pressure washing it not yet.

You may need to wet sand and buff that paint off.

It actually comes off easy with the edge of a card and some Vaseline and light scrape. Read about that online btw and someone’s suggestion.

Found this, hope it helps. That paint is usually thermo plastic.




PROCEDURES FOR REMOVING ROAD PAINT FROM CARS

As soon as possible after getting road stripe paint on any vehicle wash the vehicle at a pressure car wash. Doing this should loosen and remove most of the paint unless it has dried for more than a day.

If the pressure car wash does not remove the road stripe paint, allow the water to dry and then spray the residue with WD-40 and allow the WD-40 to stay on the area for 1-2 hours and then rewash the vehicle. The WD-40 usually softens the road striping paint without hurting the vehicle finish. If there is a heavy concentration of paint the procedure can be repeated.
For paint that has dried for several days or very heavy accumulations, apply a generous coating of petroleum jelly (vaseline) to the dried road striping paint. Allow it to stay on for 8 to 12 hours to soften the paint and then take the vehicle to a pressure car wash and wash it. This should remove most of the road striping paint. If necessary, repeat the procedure.
DO NOT SCRUB THE FINISH WITH A SOLVENT OR SCOURING CLEANSER!!!! THIS WILL DAMAGE THE FINISH.

After cleaning the road striping paint away apply a good coat of car wax to the vehicle’s finish. The wax should remove any lasting signs of the road striping paint.
Paint removal from wheel wells can be very difficult because they are normally a flat finish. Apply a liberal coating of vaseline to the area and leave it on for several days and then pressure wash.

Applying an alcohol like rubbing alcohol to the area in the wheel well may also help soften and remove any residue left after the vaseline procedure is completed. Again DO NOT SCRUB! Just apply with a very wetted rag or sponge. Remember that alcohol is flammable so please be careful.
