This is the best polisher you can purchase.. Small price to pay to keep your car looking like you had a professional detail your car. The only thing I would suggest is buy plenty of pads because once people know you have a Cyclo they will want to borrow it. I only wish I would have bought one years ago.

The above comment that the Goodyear F1 GS-D3 is a "Summer" tire is incorrect and based on opinion rather than actual testing.


The person posting faults the D3 for being a "Summer Tire based on his expectation that it will have good traction in below freezing temperatures.


That's a ridiculous argument.


The Goodyear F1 GS-D3 is an outstanding dry and wet traction tire. That it can be used in above freezing cold weather in the winter is demonstrated clearly in my test...see the pictures of the car being driven in the rain in February? Further evidence that it was being used with good results in cold but not freezing weather is the picture of the snow plow truck, on the same road at the same time, headed for higher altitude.


What the D3 is not is an "all season" or "snow" tire. Anyone trying to use it that way is a fool. If you are occasionally driving a Corvette in below freezing temperatures in light snow or minimal icing, you need the Goodyear F1 All-Season, which is available in some but not all C5 sizes, or similar tire from an other manufacturer. If you drive your Corvette regularly in below freezing weather over snow-covered roads or roads with significant icing, you need a true "winter" or "snow" tire, such as the Bridgestone Blizzak.


Bottom line. The F1 GS D3 is a "summer tire" but it's also a cold and wet weather tire. It is not an all-season or snow tire.

I will not spend any time reviewing the merits of this tire used as designed (summer) since Hib has already provided a true review.


I will comment on the use of these tires in freezing weather. These tires are not recommended for freezing or near freezing weather.


I live in central Arkansas. Here the temperatures drop to freezing and below on a regular basis from October thru March. However, there are not too many days where the temp is near or below freezing for the morning and afternoon commute.


In very cold weather (teens) the tires seem like they are solid and almost seem to slide across the driveway when the wheels are turned hard. At freezing or just above the tires feel normal and they drive without problems.


I would not try to drive the car in snow. On the rare days that we do get snow I don't grive at all.


On cold days I drive the car and I do not push it around curves and I allow a little extra stopping distance between myself and others.


Except for the precautions mentioned above I drive with these tires year round with no problems. I will be careful rather than switching to all seasons tires. I just hate to give up the tremendous performance that these tires provide.


I got 28K + out of the last set of the GS-D3s and I could have comfortably gotten over 30K. I was headed out on a road trip so I decided to go ahead and replace the worn tires before I left.

This product works exactly as advertised. It consists of a spring with a special 'tail' that is attached to the trunk lid by one of the trunk lid latch torx screws (torx driver is included with the kit). Once the spring is attached a plastic cap fits on the end of the spring and you are done.


Now when you release the the trunk the spring pops the trunk lid up as it should.


This is simple and effective device. I am glad I finally ordered it.

No need to launder old dirty, oily, or greasy rags. Just use and dispose of. Can be used for everything from degreasing with solvents, lint-free engine assembly, to washing and polishing. I've used them for years. More info on different types of Wypalls at eaglesupply.biz

I owned a business in South Florida many years ago, called PermaShine. This business polished cars, boats and motorhomes. We used Cyclos exclusively, and had eight or ten of them. They were essentially bulletproof. Great product.
