A beauty :thumbup:

Never had mine buffed or polished. The paint still looks good after almost 17 years. Not as good as yours does now though!

Thank you!
I did get lucky getting example where while never properly buffed, it was not molested and clearly garaged for some part of its life.

So pretty. Gorgeous really.

I need to do this to my truck badly.

Thank you.
I could never do this but then my friend would really never attempt to change TC guides on M62 either.
This is something that really requires patience and knowledge while if not careful can do real damage to paint too.

I have a tire patch kit uses no tool to install a temporary plug. (they last long enough you can get home with it). I plugged one of my tires and since it's run on flat and also close to end of life I decided not to patch it and it's been most of 2020 and several thousand miles. Holding strong.

I would bring a portable air pump. VIAIR is the one I use.

This is the Gizmo that will plug a screw/nail hole in seconds.

I left it in as a long term test to see if they last more than just 50 miles.

2500 miles later the tire holds air like all the rest. I can get it patched for free but that tire is EOL so I'm just running it until I'm not comfortable with the red neck wear bars (where the tire is smooth in spots all the way around vs across).

If your tires lose air, you have two choices: Go to your local gas station or mechanic shop and fill them up with air, or invest in an inexpensive, useful air compressor.

If they regularly lose air, adding air is just to drive to a repair shop to find and fix the leak.
