Does anyone know what happened to the detailers club forum? I haven't been able to pull the site up for about 2 months now.

There are two basic finishes on guitars: gloss and matte. Altough I've seen some nice matte finishes, I much prefer gloss. I have a Martin 000-15 guitar, which is a all mahogany body with a matte finish. All of Martin's current 15 series guitars (except customs) have a matte finish and lots...

I'm in the market for a new wristwatch and am looking specifically at Citizen and Seiko dive watches. Accuracy is very important to me, so I was thinking I would for sure get a quartz movement. But Seiko has several nice mechanical movement dive watches, and I'm wondering if anyone can speak...

I'm looking at a used car and checked these two databases. CarFAX came up with "3 records found", but NADA says "11 records found". Is NADA better than CarFAX? Why is there such a difference? I haven't bought either of these yet. If anyone wants to give me a freebie, the VIN is...

A few days ago I posted for some help choosing a DVD burner and got lots of suggestions to buy from newegg.com. So, last week I ordered two of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827131031 They didn't come with any software or documentation -- just the drive...

I need to replace the optical drives on a couple of work computers and was told to price out some CD/DVD burners. For starters I checked the Best Buy and Circuit City websites and saw that these start around $80 (before rebates). Then, checking CDW and PC Connection, I saw that there were Sony...

I wanted some aftermarket wheels for my Silverado, but didn't want to pay $1000+++ for them. So after searching around eBay I found that 18" Infiniti QX56 wheels will fit the 6-lug GM trucks. Apparently nobody wants these wheels, because there are several on eBay for under $500 for the set. I...

I recently bought a little 3-cup rice cooker -- the cheap kind that has a glass lid with a vent hole in it. I've tried 2 or 3 different kinds of rice, but I always get a lot of splatter coming out of the hole. The juice gets all over the counter and pools on top of the lid, making cleanup a...

For a fasting blood cholesterol/triglyceride test, you are allowed to drink water before. If cholesterol is measured in mg/dL of blood, then wouldn't drinking water before the test dilute your blood and give a lower reading? :spit: I had mine tested a while back and drank a few glasses of...

Should I sell this? Will I hate myself in the morning? :confused: Yamaha M-80 power amp (250+ watts of unadulterated class A power per channel!) :bow Yamaha C-60 preamp Yamaha GE-60 equalizer w/spectrum analyzer & pink noise generator A stupid timer and a cassette deck that doesn't turn...

From local newspaper: NAD 7100 Receiver $90. Excellent condition. Infinity Kappa 6 speakers with stands, $150 OK, maybe not true vintage components, but well on their way. If the speakers are in good condition, I'm thinking this would be a great little setup for under $250. Does anyone...

I'm in the market for a used car and this popped up on my local craigslist yesterday: (1994 325is, automatic, 100K, $6500) http://homepage.mac.com/daveberliner/Personal19.html Buying a BMW never, ever crossed my mind until now, but I've been looking at larger $7000+/- V6 sedans and $7K...

A few posts down you can read where I was looking for a super-cheap car to drive to work, because my truck is just getting too expensive to feed with gas. I came to the conclusion that buying a <$2000 car probably wouldn't get me much, and it would take too long to realize any savings from the...

With gas prices going up, I have ran some numbers on whether or not it would be worth it for me to buy a small car for my work commute. I drive about 50 miles per day round trip, and my truck gets about 18 mpg average. If I could double that (36 mpg) with a small car, I could save between $867...

Oh the shame! :nervous: What cruel need compelled me to make such a purchase? Surely there were other mini systems that would better serve me, but in the end I entered my credit card number and pushed the button... Curse you Paul Harvey!!!

What is the difference between a general practitioner (or a family doc) and a doctor of internal medicine? I have an unresolved medial problem that my family doctor just can't get a grip on, and I was thinking about seeing a doctor of internal medicine as the next step.

I put on 2 layers of Z2-Pro a month or two ago, and have used Z8 once or twice since then. My paint is still super-slick, but I was wondering how a layer of Z5 would look over the Z2-Pro. My truck is dark metallic grey, so I was thinking that the Z5 might deepen it a little. Or should I just...

Link White cars a hit for bird droppings Birds prefer their droppings to be on white cars, according to a scientific study. Student teacher Charles West, 37, carried out the survey for his department of education at Bristol University. He enlisted the help of 40 researchers and...

I guess I'm just lucky in the respect that UPS gets my orders from the Zaino store to me in 2 days. I ordered a bottle of Z-PC on Wednesday and it arrived on Friday, just in time to detail my parents' minivan for Father's Day. The aim of this detail was to clean and seal the paint -- no swirl...
