Hi Turboman! I am a novice her so I can't help with your question but I can't help seeing the humor in your post. On this forum you are probably among the discriminating people on planet earth. To be "too picky" here puts you in a league with God! When I think that I'm too...

The lives of all those murdered civilians should be remembered by everyone in this country. The brave soldiers who seek to avenge and prevent further attacks on our soil cannot be thanked enough. Support our troops however you can, even if it's just to say thanks to one you pass in the street...

Thanks GH! You are EXACTLY why I come here. Straight personal experience, freely given. I'm sure others have different experiences but all are given in the spirit of learning all we can. I have to wonder how long it takes to refinish a moderately corroded pair using manual...

Another question on headlights and other plastic light lenses. I have read a lot of posts on wet sanding and the various grades of paper needed for the job but I must have missed how they are used. I have a brand new 3/8 VS reversible, high speed, HD, Porter Cable drill. It is A/C. Also have a...

Just a word of caution on using steel wool on glass. It works great on many problems but be SURE to use a pad no more aggressive than 0000 or in a severe case 000. Taking scratches out of glass is NOT a fun job! NEVER use "Brillo" pads or even plastic scrub pads other than white. Also be sure to...

Nice to see people that REALLY take pride in their work! Beautiful results. How long did it take you start to finish?
