    Thank you!
    This is what it looked like when I bought it in early January:

    In addition to wipers, full fluid change, and a few minor repairs - I restored the headlights, then washed, clay-barred, polished and waxed.
    PO washed it for sale. I doubt it had ever seen a clay bar before.
    Made a big difference!

    There's a Gen1 4x4 at work with REALLY cloudy headlights. I just want to take some ultrafine wet-dry and a bit of plastic polish to them. Great improvement.

    I don't recall how old the oldest pair of tires are on the '07 Mal'bu, but aired them up a couple days ago and lost one last night on the way home from work. So this morning, I plugged in the climate control module for the morning volunteer crossing guard gig, and secured the new radio mount in the panel when I got home. FM reception during the drive downtown was more consistent with the new radio, and the Crutchfield pre-wired cable (with all the OEM connectors to vehicle and radio) retained steering wheel controls, so I'm quite happy this morning. No school Friday, so I have time on a sunny day to haul the wheel and tire to Costco and have them order a replacement pair for the two oldest tires on my older red truck.

    That really came back to life with that polish I'd say! How many miles on it?

    I've yet to lose a tire while driving. Knocking on a lot of wood after saying that!

    Though the fronts were just a few months old, my rear tires were from 2011. As soon as I learned that, replacements were ordered. So happy with the Grabbers.
