After being out until 4pm (Metrocentre - saw the new Star Trek film while we were out, pretty good!), I decided that with the car having done 5k miles on the Michelin PSS, it was time to rotate the wheels to even out the wear. Looks like the tyres are holding up well, fronts were barely more worn than the rears
I gave them a damn good clean while I was at it, inside and out while they were off the car, all traces of brake dust and tar are gone, and I gave the calipers a good clean too. Didn't have time to give them a coat of C2V3, so will have to hope nothing sticks to them until I get around to doing that.
Also noticed a few weird paint chips/scrapes on the car. On the very front of the side skirt on the drivers side, towards the botton edge, there were 3 raised lacerations in the surface, about 2mm long. I pressed them back down. I will have to trim the lifted pieces of paint away and fill with many layers of touch up paint.
Same indentations/lacerations on the passenger side of the rear bumper, right at the back on the bottom inch where it flares out, but 4 this time, spaced about 5mm apart each and 2mm long. Directionality of the raised areas makes it look like it was scraped back to front. looks like a serrated edge has dug into the paint. I will be doing a fair bit with the touch up paint, p4000 paper and polish in the near future.
