On my wifes Hyundai our wonderful dealer sprayed white lithium grease on the door hinges (which is good) but the bad news is I think they put it on with a fire hose. Anyone have some suggestions for cleaning it off. The little brown things are pine needles. Thanks for the advice!

I posted a few days ago about Window Tint and I thought I would post before and after shots. Before: After: After: I went with 35% on the sides (legal limit in MD) but with current the glass thats on there it works out to about 30% On the back I went with 20%

I am thinking on tinting my windows. In Maryland legal is 35%, I am thinking of going 25%, do you all think my car would look good with a dark tint? Also, give me some recomendations on some customization. Thanks!
