I dunno why this popped into my head but I thought I'd ask.

:buffing:

That's really in poor taste, Fluxy.

Well I think if I had a prosthetic leg I'd get an itch to wax/seal it. I mean, I'm sure he cleans it when needed so the thought of taking it further isn't completely out there.

I wear a hearing aid and think about waxing the part that doesn't go in my ear to help with sweat and whatnot. I've never done it though.
 
Wow....

Is it too late to edit your post? Even if my best friend told me to joke about something like that with him, I can't say I'd have it in me.

Maybe you and Mike are close like that..... :dunno:

He's had his prosthetic something like 30 years. I'm sure he's heard it all and is "over" it. In fact with how long he's been around on the forums I'm almost certain it's been asked before.

Why not care for your property?

If Mike doesn't think the question is interesting or I did it out of spite (which I did not) or he's touchy on the subject he's free to delete it.
 
No problems...

I keep the Titanium/Aluminum Alloy polished till it looks like chrome and try to keep it polished up all the time. It's hard when I tend to get all kinds of chemical splatter on it when spraying cleaners, (the wind blows it around), or splatter off a buffer...

That's cool dude. I didn't even think about polishing it like that, if it were me I'd just keep it as clean as I could and toss a sealant on it.

Does it get banged up easy? I have a titanium wedding band that scratches if you look at it wrong. Granted it's not high grade titanium like your leg likely is.

Thanks for answering. :props:

Agreed 100000%

Good thing MIke is a level headed guy and didn't take offense

There's nothing to take offense about. He's an adult that can deal with what he's been dealt with in life. He's not some kid that just lost his limb and is trying to cope with it.

Too many people with sandy vaginas around here.

From the others that concur with my vantage point on this subject and expressed so, it seems you are in the minority!

Holy crap, Fluxy--are you trying to steal my reputation for grumpiness? I dunno what's got into you this morning, but if there was ever a topic that cried out for a PM instead of a thread, this was it.

I don't think you or Ketch can ever be usurped for grumpiness. You guys take the cake.

I think you are just trying to make me go back to Autopia. Not happenin'...I'm a one-forum kinda guy, and I think I found my new home :p

Nahh, he just likes stalking me (or so I am realizing as of late) hence his response to only me when others said basically the same thing...

Quite honestly, I am flattered.

I don't even know who you are. I responded to Setec right off the bat.
 
Hey lets keep it family friendly...

It's okay that Mindflux asked the question... I need to polish it as I've been spraying wheel cleaners around it lately and not it has some dull spots, after I'm done if you want I'll post a picture of it because it's actually pretty cool.

I wear shorts year around so I meet just about anyone and everyone that either has or is related to someone that has an artificial leg. I meet a lot of ex-military personnel that usually know someone that lost a limb in war.

I get asked a lot of questions and always do my best to answer them and always give the person my cell phone number in case they or their friend has any questions about this type of transition.

I also like to do my best to inspire people that don't think they could detail a car, because if I can do it... you can do it too... it's just a matter of steps, that is tackling a detailing project step-by-step.

At Meguiar's the dress code is business attire and that's the professional approach, so I always wore pants in my classes. Here at Autogeek we're a lot more casual so I can wear shorts at the classes, which is a lot more comfortable so I'm very thankful for that.

Because I know discussion forums are like the ocean, that is the tide comes in and the tide goes out, or new members/lurkers visit and then leave, and as such some might not know how I lost my leg so here's how it happened... and don't be surprised as I am a "Car Guy" and a "Boat Guy" too, I just took it to extremes... I was ran over by my own boat... the prop got me...

Next month Max and I are going to San Antonio, Texas to do some work with Operation Comfort which is the charity that Autogeek and I'm proud to say Autogeek's customers and forum members also support.

One thing for sure... don't take what you have for granted and be thankful for what you have...
