New Word of the Day

^^ Right you are sir! Right you are. There are still many issues in paper and human form that are causing querulous acts and ultimately reducing the time its taking for our 2 new reactors to be built.

... New Word of the Day will be up within the next hour.

Yes...It seems that the "forces" that are against the USA becoming domestically independent from foreign energy supplies is overwhelming at times...To add: I detest these escalating prices at the pump, and the "forces" behind these said increases.

{That, of which, could go with my: 03.10.2012 "new word of the day" offering.}

Pedantic

Definition: Marked by a narrow focus on, or display of learning, especially its trivial aspects.

The opposition against the USA building future nuclear reactor plants to supply our Country's much needed energy demand, might be traced, in part, to the pedantic arguments by the
Wall Street-backed EPA's lawyers, in protracted court hearing procedures, involving, what they claim, are "solely" environmental-issues-based.

^^Your undertone and questioning-attitude are in alignment with mine good buddy.
 
Many threads contain the pedantic postings on the perils of polishing the paints protective polymer layer.

Malapropism (mal-uh-prop-is-uhm)

A very easy example of malapropism is the usage of "their, there, and they're" also, "then and than" are also commonly misused.

You'll have to bear with me, while I bare my soul, and say I sometimes miss "Good Ol' Bill" and his bare-back escapades, as he was bearing down...T.C.B....or something to that affect.

Salebrosity

Definition: Uneven surface roughness; coarseness

One of the best methods to see if your vehicle's top-coat paint film has any contaminates imbedded therein, is to use the "baggie-test" to check for salebrosity.

^^ Thank you for the addition, not edition ;) Sorry, just thought of a malapropism and had to throw that in.

Thanks for your "new word of the day, Tundra_10...

[For a moment I thought of what The Golden Lamb Restaurant, in Lebanon, Ohio, Chef does to one of their house specialties...grilled Loin of Lamb. :D]

I bet that many of the Husbands of "Soccer Mom's" must feel the need to lambaste their spouses, when, upon observing the recklessness and seemingly total disregard...havoc if you will...that has been wreaked upon their most recent labor-intensive interior detailing project.

Burnish: to make shiny or lustrious especially through rubbing.

The detailer burnished the paint = burnthrough. This Is the way I mostly see this word being used on the forum. Oxymoronic? Seems that the metal under the paint system was burnished rather than the paint.

Feed back please

Having spent all those years gear jammin' and the lifestyle associated with it, I've lost much of my thought process on language. I'm determined to get to some point of normalcy. 10-04?
 
Not to mention the posters that labaste the OP for their choice of product, tool, method, etc.

IMO, only...VT

-The processes that are now being employed to detail vehicles, are often now being described in terminology that is sometimes adapted from other "sources"...

-One term that you mentioned...Burnish
From: Industries where burnishing usually means to bring a highly polished and smooth finish to metals by using burnishing tools...
To: "The Detailing World", (from what I have deciphered), where it's being applied to burnishing the CC paint film...that is, to what is deemed to be, (as I interpret it): "A most highly polished paint surface(s)"...Not a "Burn-through" as you have defined above.

-But...That is the differences, IMO, in how each individual may interpret 'language-usage' from their experiences/educational/environmental backgrounds...(These are just a few influences, I will add).

-I never would have dreamed a few short years ago that the word: Media...would be used, or even how it's used IMO, for some vehicle detailing processes.

-So...Must, should, or can everyone adapt to, as I'll conveniently say: "Cross-over" words-descriptions/definitions usages being applied in the varying facets of our everyday living? Would this exhibit normalcy if one would be willing to so adapt??

{That said...Some I choose to do so, others I choose not to do so. Depends on 'situations', I suppose. (I may not be "normal", though) :D}

-Is it possible to view this "cross-over" practice as being oxymoronic at times? No doubt, (again IMO).

-Finally, to add...I (and no doubt many others) have viewed myself, at times, as being anachronistic. Go figure!

-Good word and usage thereof, Tundra_10!

-{An additional "new word of the day"}:


Zetetic

Definition: Inquiring, investigating, seeking; a skeptic

Although it may in fact be true that by using rinse-less and/or water-less washes will abrogate the high usage of water during a 'car-washing session', there are Zetetics that remain very skeptical as to these methods of car-washing being as "paint-safe" (swirls/marring, has been discussed) as 'regular/normal, hose/bucket car-washing sessions'.

I ask: "Does their 'seeking-of-the-truth' give rise to a whole new concept of, or a different application to: The Platonic-tradition"?

I concur. Being a devotee of ONR, I see first hand the effect of its use. That being said, I am perfectly willing to live with these ill effects. I do, from time to time, question the veracity of posters stating that they have 'no issues' with the use of these type products.

Somewhere, Mike mentioned the swirls produced by simply wiping a panel with a MF. It was in his article where he was polishing out a black trunk panel I do believe.

Full wash/waterspots and the qd to remove them vs. ONR/swirls. I performed three ONR washes this weekend; two personal. The lac will get a good polishing, before it is traded later this year on an Eqqus - which will never receive this type wash. I can live with the swirls on the 10 yr. old silver car.
 
^^ Thank you both for your contributions! Off to start getting ready for work! Today and tomorrow (which I picked up a day of overtime) are my last "days on nights" for a month. WOOOO!!!!
