Not me ^ TL retires soon. I wouldn`t know what to do with myself ut:

TL - don`t judge yourself too harshly. I suspect we`ve all been there. I know I have...

Contrary to the possible tone of my posts, I`m not whomping myself too badly. Just posted cuz I thought someone might get a snicker out of the story. Luster`s got a low threshold of humor though.

Can`t hardly see what`s next on the hard-knocks learning curve.

I entertain myself with my own comedy routine sometimes. Like placing the 4 oz. bottle of M105 on top of the rear tire and then decide I need to back it out of the garage! Or leaving the hatch open on a VW Beetle and (again) decide I need to pull this out into the sun!

Some good laughs here, We`ve all been down that road to "Mistake-ville." Oh well, chalk it up to humanity.

I`ve sometimes confused the water bottle with the IPA bottle, nothing like IPA on a polishing pad I finally got the totally bright idea to put the two products in different colored bottles.:wizard: Total genius on my part.:doh:

I think the dumbest automotive-related move I`ve made, historically, was to Armor All... my whole car.
I had just discovered this amazing product after getting my license in the `70`s and figured, "Hey, it`s good for the tires... it`s gotta be GREAT for the paint, the seats, the steering wheel, floorboards, the rubber pedals... EVERYTHING!!

Man, it`s a wonder I didn`t kill myself (or anyone else!!) the first time I drove that car after soaking the whole thing in Armor All.:toetap05:
My foot slipped off the brake pedal and I almost rear-ended someone in front of me. First time I went around a sharp turn, at some speed, I slid clear across the bench seat to the passenger side. The paint on my car became an instant dust magnet. The steering wheel was so slick it was hard to grip. Total disaster.

Since I was 16, every time I go in an automotive store and see Armor All, I think about that little incident and laugh at myself.

Something I`ve learnd along the (long, long ) way is that this realization comes to all of us some day [It`s confirmed... I`m an idiot ! ]

I used tarminator on tinted windows before...had to clean it off fast before it causes any damage...

Well you can`t truly rate yourself an idiot for using the wrong product but NOT doing any damage. Our call center gets phone calls all the time from very upset customers who damaged their expensive polished aluminum wheels by spraying chrome wheel cleaner on them. Certainly most, if not all, of you know that a chrome wheel cleaner will stain a bare, polished aluminum wheel instantly. Yet, many of these people have done serious damage to all four wheels, even though they swear they followed the directions on the bottle - which clearly states to work on one wheel at a time.

Of course, when asked what kind of wheels they have the response is usually "chrome", even though we know they aren`t simply by the description of what happened and what the staining looks like. When the customer is asked again about the type of wheel, the answer usually changes to something like "22 inch".

Or "24 inch".

Or "I paid $3000 for them".

TL, you may have done something a wee bit silly, but you`ll have to try harder to obtain true "idiot" status.

Well geez, I suppose I`ll have to apply myself then. I`m at work on a break but about to go relieve the guy on the Arrival Radar scope... anything you might suggest to really distinguish myself? :devil:

TL <---- what`s the worst that can happen?

Better leave well enough alone, TL.
