    Florida must be going for upscale British influence - I saw a Bentley and two Aston Martin DB-9s today.

    Cleaning up the gutters on the house

    Well, it took me a while to get around to this job. The black streaks were too much for AIO. I ended up using a bit of 3M Finishing Polish on the PC - then followed-up with AIO. I'll put the shine on my gutters up against anyone in the neighborhood. ;)

    List of vehicles with Hard to Soft clear coats or NO clear coats

    Some fairly recent Toyota models had single stage or clear-coat depending on color. For example, my 2002 MR-2 has a single stage Black. IIRC, all the colors in that year without flake (black, yellow, & white) were single stage. I know black up through 2005 was still single stage.

    Use for Use, what's the most expensive car car product you use?

    I'd have to say gasoline. ;) But assuming you meant detail products, I'd have to say vinyl/rubber protectant. 303 (the brand I've been using) isn't exactly cheap, and I worry about the Florida sun, so I probably use more than most (4 cars & 2 sit in the sun all day).

They are looking poor. I have tried some hand cleaning, but that will be a big labor project, and I'm looking for...

    Space shuttle night launch....

    I've worked at the Eastern Range for a few years now, and the very best location to watch a Shuttle launch is from the top of the Vertical Integration Building (mostly known by it's intials - VIB), but you need to know a NASA manager to get up there. Second (IMO) is out on the NASA Causeway...

    Treating myself to a new watch... help me pick which one to get.

    I'm not much of a watch guy, but I have two Citizen Eco-Drive models that I like a lot. Here's why: I like an analog face, but want an alarm. I like seeing the date, but hate remembering how many days any one month has and making a correction, if it's leap year etc. The Citizen takes care of...

    Newbie question

    Hi - first post on this forum - and of course I have a question. Just got a PC DA and bought some Edge pads from the store section of this site (along with some SMR and Klasse AIO, etc). BTW, I like Klasse AIO followed by S100 wax, but that's a bit O/T. Anyway... My car is a black 2002...
