by installing the snow tires (albeit it a week *after* the 17" snowfall) on DW's MPV over the past weekend. It was about 40F and windy, but I still washed both sets of wheels (as well as waxed the steelies).

I actually have a set, too. Maybe this weekend.
 
I gotta change the stereo in the Miata first, though. It was skipping, then the lights started to go out. Now it's dark AND skips. So I got a cheap MP3 player, but I'm putting it in myself.

Hey folks,
 
I did a search of this topic and it seems that the recommendation a few years ago in cleaning leather was Lexol. I was just wondering if you folks still recommend that. I have to try and remove ink stains from my front seat.
 
If not Lexol, any other suggestions?
 
Thanks,
Mark

Lexol is as good as anything out there mark, try a little WD 40 on a rag to try remove the ink stain then some leather treatment.
 
  Cheers Pat.

I do my interior with Lexol and I do my waxing with Nu-Finish. Both are great and I have used them on all my vehicles... Man, I did not know this thread was so old. I should have checked first. I have my 3 month's old 2009 Outback 2.5i Limited. First Subaru i have owned. Love it so far!!

I'm still love'n my 1998 OBW Ltd 5 spd. Just finished putting a coat of wax on it. Next comes the Blizzaks for this winter. Only 116,000 miles on the clock. It's driven once or twice a week. Plus it is towed behind our motor home when we're traveling (5,000 miles this summer).

How do you tow it? Is it on a flatbed? It's my understanding that's the only way to safely tow an all-wheel drive vehicle.
 
Just curious...

Some cars are able to be towed 'wheels down' with little or no modifications. Manual-transmission Subarus are one example. Motorhome magazines often list models of 'dinghy' vehicles and their towing requirements & limitations.

Subarus with manual transmissions are towable on all four wheels. Probably have about 25,000 towed miles on mine. But I noticed this time that there is rust bubbling under the paint coming from under the middle roof "rail". When it gets warm again I'll have to remove the rail and fix the rust spot. Been really trying to keep this car clean (try that living on a dirt/gravel road ).
