    using IPA full strength at 70% instead of 50/50

    I've often used IPA to remove waxes, sealants, and polishes at around 50%. Lately I've been wondering if using IPA full strength at 70% would be ok to use. In my opinion, this would be easier and faster, as all I would have to do is pour the IPA into a spray bottle and not worry about ratios.

    meguiars products for boats

    Is it just me, or does some of meguiar's boat products look the same as their automotive stuff, but with a different label? For example, their boat wash M4364 looks like their deep crystal car wash. The same goes for their gel wash. Their flagship marine wax looks like their gold class...

    using clay or a decontamination system for IFO, brake/rail dust

    I've been reading how some will argue that to fully remove this type of contamination one must use a decontamination product like ABC, FinishKare, or something else. Is it true that clay will only remove the top portion of the contamination leaving the rest still imbedded in the clear/paint...

    automatic car washes: touchless or ones with spinning brushes?

    I'm sure we all know at least someone whether it be a co-worker, friend, or a member of the family who insists on not washing their own vehicles. So, having said that, which do you think would do the less harm? I was thinking probably the ones with brushes because the touchless ones can use...

    Any dermatoligists in the house?

    When someone has very dry/chapped skin, should one look for a lotion that contains vitamin E, or A, or both? I've noticed some lotions contain these ingredients while others don't.

    mastercard or visa?

    Which do you all have? I'm debating whether to dump my mastercard and go with my visa instead. There's no particular reason, but I find having both kind of pointless and I have more of a credit line on the visa. Someone told me one is better for overseas travel, but I can't back that up 100%.

    industrial fallout

    I'm not new to the term, but I'm a bit confused about how it's used. I've read that paint contamination can consist of rail/brake dust and industrial fallout, but isn't brake/rail dust considered IFO? When somone says IFO are they talking mainly about pollution from factories or acid rain?

    fighting with the wife

    About using liquid fabric softner that is. My wife insists on using this stuff, but I don't know how much longer I'll be able to hold my ground. She likes the smell, and how everything feels when softner is used. I've told her when it comes to microfiber, using softner will clog the fibers...
