    Detailing Jem - Polo's Team Falken G35

    Paul asked me to detail his G35 before a trip to Germany next week. While I've detailed cars with stickers on before, I've not done one with quite this many. They didn't pose a problem though as they've clearly been applied well, and other than the printed ones, were all polished at the same time as the paintwork.

    As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so:

    I realise that, just wasn't sure why it's needed.

    Correct, it's to make sure tyre fitters get it right, which they still don't! Also to help my bro as he does most the wheel changes at events for me and always asks which one goes where.

    Directional Tyres? Maybe they're balanced or setup for that one side?

    It's a credit to the wheel cleaner I use that it's still there!

    I'm always amazed at work how often we find cars with the tyres on the wrong way round

    Looking good

    You think tyres fitted the wrong way round are bad? How about finding a spanner inside a tyre, that trashed the wheel? I kid you not...

    It's amazing the nail didn't try finding it's way back out through the tyre!
