    you got that right Migue. it drops that 95 degree heat quite a bit and it helps keep the paint cool, but the stuff that falls out of it . pollen season is the worst.

    I`ll end up broke before i get to that point.... i got SIX (just counted them too) and 5 of those are tall a#$ pine trees. In reality only one is the closest to my driveway and the rest are like 6 ft away all grouped up in the same area between my House and the neighbor`s.

    At least you don`t have a pear tree (it`s some type of pear tree that doesn`t produce fruit) that covers part of your driveway. When Spring springs, it is impossible to outwit its pollen. Luckily it only happens once a year.

    Probably a good choice. I might also suggest taking a peek at Gladiator`s line. Sears and Amazon have these on from time to time for a good price.

    @MaryB:

    For the wells, try a strong degreaser and a different sprayer. The sprayer I use, and love cost me a few bucks at Walmart, in the car section, it is two shades of grey. If you have good water pressure, it should do the trick. After that, degreaser and a brush should do it.

    I can attest, because I live in the same town as Ron, that not only does he have just about every product available....but is also very generous! I`m new to this site and met up with him at a car show and he gave me generously sized "samples" of Wolfgang Uber rinseless, Kenotek showroom shine, a bug remover spray, and a microfiber bug towel! Plus, he let our 10 year old corvette-obsessed son sit in his car. Thanks Ron!!!

    They definitely look better but been thinking want something plain and less expensive. I would like another shelf.

    Have you tried these scratch free scrub pads? i get mine at my local grocery store for less than $2 for a 2pack. I grab one and get my hand in the wells and start scrubbing any stubborn junk. They have served me well in removing road paint from wells twice already. Let the stuff soak up in cleaner/degreaser/tarminator and then hit it with this and see if it helps.

    Al, I did pick my Gladiators up for sub $200 walking through Sears one day. I`ve seen them for around that price several times since then and also on Amazon, course that may never happen again, I don`t know. I just went out and looked at both of mine, they have the same number of shelves as what you have shown. With gallon height products/paper towel rolls and sprayers (32 oz. or a bit taller) on the bottom 2 shelves and then just regular size bottles (typical liquid polish/wax 16 oz) on the top 2 shelves I can`t imagine having comfortable usable space if there were another shelf in there. Both of mine are the tall and deep cabinets. They make some that aren`t quite as deep. I like the locking wheels on them. I also picked up a couple of their hip high roll cabinets for hand tools and two of their laminated tables. The tool boxes will fit under their tables. They`ve been pretty nice. Not trying to give you the hard sell here. I just like it when people can actually tell me about something they`ve used.
