I purchased this 9 gallon wet/dry vac used and I bought dust bags for it but they clearly have no way of installing on the inside drum of the vac...
How the heck do I install a dust bag on this vac??? I assumed the bag would have a peel-off sticker or something. Nope, it's...
Okey-doke.
Spoke to a very knowledgeable local tint guy, says it sounds like failure of the scratch-resistant clear coat. Previous owner probably cleaned it with Windex compromising the coating and I just happened to push it over the edge... Lucky me!
Worried I would immediately damage the tint in that scenario. Anyway, I've already tried a plastic scraper but since the glass curves inward i was only touching the edges of the scraper.
OK so nearly boiling hot water, dawn soap, and a MF towel (and even a cotton terry towel) did not help the situation. Looks exactly the same. It seemed like the crud would start appearing in clear spots, so something is coming off for sure. It was nearly impossible to get any of it actually off...
Sounds fair! I'm going to attempt to use hot water and a MF with soap and hope the heat takes it off... Otherwise I'm going to a tint shop and see what they say.
Yes! It just gets pushed around when I try to clean it. Originally the glass looked pretty clean. I never waxed the inside but who knows, dealership may have before I purchased.
Hey Mike-
I decided to clean the inside windows (starting with front driver side... :mad:) spraying some ONR (QD ratio, 1:16) onto a blue shop towel, and as soon as I started to put some force on the towel, I was getting this crud building up... Sprayed more QD, pushed some more... and so on...
So I noticed that these PC-brand set of 2 MF kitchen towels have a waffle-weave pattern, and they felt exactly like my $19 (CAD) 20"x40" 70/30 Korean-made waffle weave towel...
For $7.69 CAD there are two 80/20 blend towels, one is 18"x28", other is 12"x12"
Would you go near your car with...
So I drove my car into my dad's workshop and was able to bang out ~3 hours of compounding. Man, are those lower panels a pain in the back !
I also taped off a small area on the hood and decided to see if the ultimate polish made any noticeable difference. I first washed the area with Dawn...
Nope they are 16.99! It's definitely the best deal I've seen though - I may go ahead and purchase eventually as I'm using a non-circular mop bucket as my rinse and it'd be nice to be able to stack the buckets. Spent more than I should have on buffing products; I know I'm being stingy here lol
Sorry guys, but in Canada we're looking at a min of $15 cad for these official plastic contraptions. $26 right now for CG's guard. $22 for the accessory that clips on lol. Prices from Amazon.ca btw
The post was by no means meant as a serious/effective replacement for the real thing. More so a joke!
