I am in the process of detailing my car for winter, which includes applying #16 on my door jambs. I clean out the door jambs after every traditional wash (washing with a hose and mitt), so the jambs weren't very dirty at all. The last time I cleaned them out was last weekend. Most of the time I...

I'm ready for winter now. More ready than I've even been... That's 8 bottles of QEW, 2 gallon jugs of S&G (one is only 1/4 full), a sprayer of S&G, a spray bottle for QEW/water, a jug of premixed QEW/water 8:1 for the spray bottle, and 2 cans of #16. Plus I've got my snow tires...

I am about to go back out to the garage and QD the Protege again. I just QD'd it yesterday, and I applied Paste Glaz the day before. I was debating whether it really needed it, and since there's a chance of drizzle tomorrow evening... BUT I decided that I'm going to do it anyway. It'll only...

nah I wouldn't do that! :LOLOL I can thank my compact flourescent bulbs! I replaced all of the original 100W round bulbs with 26W compact fluorescents, including the one in the garage. That bill includes the days when I've used the PC to apply SSRs and AIO to 2 cars too...

In this article, they state NOT to use tire dressings on the tires? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=37 I was planning to apply 303 to the tires at least once while the tires were being stored. I'll keep them either in my apartment or in my storage closet (in the...

I'm trying to create a chart in Excel. I need to compare the depth vs temperature data for 2 lakes on the same graph. I want to have Depth on the Y axis, and Temperature on the X axis. The Depth always shows with 0 being at the bottom of the graph (at the origin). I want it to be at the top, as...

I've got a bit of rust under the front center of my hood... Is there a way I can fix that? Can I sand it down to remove the rust and use touchup paint?

I'm doing a group project comparing the automotive industry of Europe to the U.S. I've got a couple questions for you guys... What's the price of gas currently at? And is that price for diesel or regular gasoline? Do the European auto manufacturers have a workforce that is comprised of...

Once in a while, my clutch pedal squeaks as I push it to the floor. Is there a way I can lubricate it to make the squeak go away, or is the squeak likely to be coming from a non-accessible component? If I were to try to lubricate it, is there a certain type of oil/grease that would be best for...

OK long story short. Here goes... I went fishing today, brought home a pair of minnows for my fishtank (I like having native fish in my tanks). I had a 3gal bucket that I transported them with. I filled the bucket about 2/3 full, and set it down on the floor in front of the passenger seat. I...

...does it matter if you go 3rd to fifth, or should you push the gear lever into 4th for a second before putting it in 5th? IOW, consider the two options I tried to explain above... 1. Accelerate in 3rd gear. Push clutch in, move gear lever out of 3rd, push into 4th (clutch pedal still...

Anyone ordered from here before? http://www.microfibertech.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=2 I wonder what's in that grab bag? For $0.50 they can't be too dissapointing! Not that I really need any more MF towels anyway...

I applied SSR2 via PC and AIO via PC to my car on Sunday, and then washed it on Monday morning with my new Excel sheepskin mitt and Meg's Deep Crystal soap. When I was done washing and drying it, I couldn't believe how slick it still was! Most of the time, even if I had just applied the LSP a...

I knew it would happen eventually. I scheduled this job (just a wash/wax) almost two weeks ago, so I asked the guy to call me on Monday night so that I knew he didn't forget. Well, I didn't get a call last night, and he didn't show up this morning. I didn't have his phone #, so I couldn't call...

I did a quick wash and wax on my boss's truck yesterday. I was pretty impressed with the results considering there was no polishing or paint cleaning involved. Good old Nattys. :) There's my Protege, begging for some detailing of it's own. :) It had been 3 days since the last S&G...

I booked this job for Thursday morning, but I told the owner already that nothing could be done about the cracks, short of a repaint of course. I wasn't positive about that statement, but I wanted to make sure he wasn't EXPECTING them to be gone. I said at most I might be able to reduce their...

I didn't actually use this combo on a wheel...I used it on a stainless steel pan lid that my brother gave me. I'm moving out soon, and he gave me some cookware and stuff. This lid was disgusting. It was all covered with minerals or something. Anyway, I used Mothers mag/aluminum polish with...
