What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

[FiestaSTdude]

Just out of curiosity, how many others are running with the Delta wing riser?

I wish I was, instead my wing is held on by JB weld 😡

 

[M-Sport fan]

Look good but hope you enjoy cleaning them!

True, but that color does still look cool even when it gets the 'gravel rally wheel patina' (and to a lesser extent the tarmac rally wheel patina) of small paint chips/light scrapes.

I have 2 others sitting in my garage that I could repair or have repaired if anyone is interested. JB Weld is what's keeping the door handle in place on the driver's door on my car. Still waiting for a response from someone who said they are willing to ship but I heard nothing more!

I did this. I also got an AP and a dizzy tune, I am going hybrid turbo next month. Hoping to get a 12 second daily driver out of it. Exciting stuff. These cars are a blast to own/drive.

Lol, yeah that’s definitely going to be a challenge! Thankfully I’m not too ocd about it

Firstly, congrats. Those wheels looks great on the black car with red mudflaps.
Second, I have the same wheels and they are not too difficult to clean. No more difficult than any other wheel or color.

 

[FiestaSTdude]

Thanks! Your car looks amazing as well.
Maybe now that I have wheels I like it will motivate me to do a better job cleaning them!

Throw some ceramic coat ie Gtechniq C5 on there and it'll go a long ways keeping them clean

 

[esp_martin]

What wheel cleaner do you use? I'm about to put the white Terras away for the summer, but I need to deep clean them first. I neglected them for a few weeks, so they're real dirty.

I use Ammo NYC Plum wheel cleaner along with their wheel soap, it basically makes the white wheels look new again. Yes, its expensive, but I only do a deep cleaning on the wheels maybe every 6 months.

If not that, Sonax Beast wheel cleaner I found to be just as good.

I would also throw Adams Wheel and Tire Cleaner in the mix. Great product and reasonable price. I use a hand foamer to apply it (iK Foam Pro) and works great.

Follow up with some CarPro Perl on the tires and things look goood.

Out with the winter steelies, in with the warm weather tire set up.



Took a long drive on the Indiana Nürburgring after work, then cleaned it up.

Are these the fifteen52 podiums? They look great! Love the matte black wheels on the blue!

Yes indeed.

Always liked the look of these too, though I might move to something lighter and 16” next summer (black dekagrams likely) once I wear out this set of tires.

The turn in with 17s is something though…

1 step colder NGK’s, Whoosh coil packs, and a J pipe.

Well, I haven't done it to the Fiesta ST yet, but I took advantage of two rebates and a Capital One Shopping 30% back deal to get a set of new shoes for about half price from Tire Rack.

I only see 5% cash back on my cap one account, what did you have?

I have the Capital One Shopping app installed on my browser. It tracks purchases and any time I shop and when I purchase using the app's coupons it finds. Over the last few weeks as I researched tires at Tire Rack for myself and someone else on the forum that was looking for all season tires, each day after I'd research tires I'd get an email from Capital One Shopping showing a tire I'd looked at and offering a discount if I clicked the link in the email and completed the purchase within 24 hours. At first the discount offered was 3.5%, then $29.38, then last week it was offering 30% back. The rebates were available at Tire Rack (or any Firestone/Bridgestone dealer) last week, so I pulled the trigger. The total rewards was $220.78 from Capital One. The tires themselvers were $595 after rebate. After the Capital One rewards, they were $374.22 for the set. Retail from the BigO Tires across the street from my shop is $808 for the set.
