This happened to me a year ago. After doing 'teh clean' ( SSR1 / 2.5, VM, EX-P, Natty's Blue and tire shine) I was on my way home via 95. As I was getting off of 101 to 95, my back end started slipping out from under me. I was lucky enough to know how to control the slide, but it was still a surprise. keep in mind I was only going about 50, nothing too crazy, but it scared the $hit out of me.

for all those who do use Tire Dressing...just don't over load it and watch out while cornering.

Just my .02.

He he he, happen to me also..
After a car wash, some silicon went on the tyre, i was drifting almost all the way home about 1km...
