Even if you have a shorter time horizon, you will forgo significant savings opportunities by cashing out your TSP. For example, if you are 45, your $20,000 will grow to $53,855 in 17 years. Keep in mind that even if you really need the money, you may be better off borrowing from your TSP account.
Here, in NYS, rubber floor mats take a real beating during the winter. I use Hi-Temp tire cleaner (amazing stuff) and a brush to scrub the rubber, a procedure very similar to yours. Dressing-wise, I apply whatever looks good at the time, though, I've been really liking Tropi-Care's White Pearl as of late.
TIPS to remember when cleaning your car exterior. 1  Never wipe down your car with a dry cloth. 2  Clean squashed bugs off the car as soon as you can. 3  Rubber tires need to be scrubbed 4 times a year just to remove the oxidation that naturally takes place as rubber ages.
