Yummy Peanut Butter and Volks
After seeing some other people cleaning their Volks with peanut butter, i thought i would give it a try since mine are looking kinda dull after all these years.
Before
Getting it ready
And here is the good part...
Comparison between the two... the one on the left is the clean one, and the one on the right is the not so clean one
And this picture is for people who don't have camber kit on their car... You should seriously consider getting one, I have a camber kit on my car, but I ended up slamming my car towards the end of the summer and not caring and being lazy to get it alignment

So maybe it was the water?

Camber kit, or lack there-of, has nothing to do that tire wear.
Slamming the car, and not getting an alignment afterwards caused that.
No camber kit, 1.5/drop - no difference in wear edge to edge after near 20K miles. Tires still look nw actually.
Those meats are mean looking. I may try a set of those next.

I just want to say that, I know that this seems like a crazy idea to some people, when I first heard it, I thought it was crazy myself, but for anyone who has bronze Volks it's worth a try.
You can definitely tell in person...
Thanks Eric, they are still in very good shape after all these years... surprisingly
yes they do... it's my bad , but that was what i had at the time
I think it's 2.5", the SS was on it's lowest
I'll get them on the car soon, i just received some new tires yesterday, so i'll be putting them on soon.... I'll be going to California on the 11th of April, so i can go to the Formula D event in Long Beach, and i was planning to stay until the 19th... But i'm going to see if i can stay a lil longer to make it to the meet.
I don't know yet, i haven't put them on the car yet, but i don't know if it will impress the ladies, more kids and dogs if anything....

Haha for a second I though the ones on the right were cleaner because of the clean tire
