You're a Caddy junkie, Mike. Buy it :D Vacuum wipers too, I'll bet. "Real" chrome lasted through the 60s, IIRC. Nothing like it since. A shame. TL

The more things change the more they stay the same. 25 years ago my 60 year old supervisor was saying the exact same thing, 20 years before that they were my grandfather's words. "Generational" observations are frequently skewed by perspective. TL <--- perspective is all about which rock...

I remember Grumpy Jenkins and others were pushing those down the track in the '70s. Bob Glidden, Don Nicholson and the Fords sent 'em home real regularly, IIRC. TL

I believe the uhfishal Guinness-approved word is "BRILLIANT"! :cheers: Don't toss the hook side. Cut in small pieces it's handy to stick on the underside of shelves to attach your pads to to get 'em out of the way and maximize storage space. :xyxthumbs: TL <--- resident genius :D

I, like many here, use the Werner Work Platform. IMO, it's the most cost-effective solution, with some caveats. You really need more than one. When not standing on it one tends to put polishes, pads, buffers etc on it. Then you need to unload it when it's time to work up high. One workaround is...

If you're going to bump a thread you ought to really BUMP IT! TL

That would be Jerky DOT COM! :laughing: TL

She's a keeper! If that's the same yellow tower I have there's a spare bulb in the top center handle when you pull the cap off. Buy more, they don't last long if you use them frequently. I wear MF gloves when I change them. Oil from your fingers is the kiss of death for those bulbs and they take...

Somebody needs to skool me on Race Deck type flooring. What are the ramifications if you use a lot of water in the garage? Doesn't it seep under the flooring? When I start the Garage Mahal makeover in the Spring I expect to go with an epoxy floor coating. Large drains in the flooring ought to...

OK, Sybil. Nice thing about Multiple Personality Disorder is you're never alone. :D I've been looking for Ms Wright for a long time. This isn't what I had in mind! :eek: Are you related to Richard by chance? TL

Pretty decent results in the pictures. :xyxthumbs: Now you have an inkling how much some put into the fantastic results they get. I'm betting none of them achieved concours results first time out either, I know I didn't. It's like going to Carnegie Hall.... practice, practice, practice...

Will we all have to dress in black pajamas and white Nikes? Think I'll skip the Kool Aid.... TL

A little premature for details but they're on the list. Who's Buying What in Super Bowl 2012 | Special: Super Bowl - Advertising Age TL

Lots of definitions for "normal". There are misanthropes lumbering around that blame the rest of the world for their lot in life and always looking to p**s in someone's Wheaties. They may not have the gray matter or goal setting abilities to improve their situation so bringing others down to...

Mercury vapor lights highlight imperfections. I had a hard time checking my work on white with the Brinkmann & halogens before using Opti Coat. I drove to a nearby shopping plaza and there they were. Marked each area that needed additional attention with a grease pencil and headed back to my...

I crossed paths with Merlin on some Harley-related Forums before I saw him here... and almost evey other detailing forum I'm on. :D Not always easy to tell since some use different usernames on other forums. Heck, some people have different usernames for every occasion! Know what I mean? ;) TL

These will ease your aggravation. The Hose Blocker I used to get so p.o.'d with the hose getting stuck I'd give it a giant yank n flip... until the hose flew and broke I something I wished I wouldn't have. TL

Other theories suppose that date is merely as far as they got when compiling their calendar. Bill Gates must know more, the calendar in Windows 7 goes to 12/31/2099. Somebody will probably be wringing their hands over that 87 years from now. I don't expect to see it. Mayan calendars and...

Doubt it. Since PC is marketed by Black & Decker and IMO, B&D has shot themselves in the foot across most of their product line, the powers that be probably couldn't care less. Like many corporations the suits will get their golden parachutes and millions on the way out the door after running...

I spent 25 years in what many call the most stressful job on the planet. Stress isn't caused by circumstances or environment, it's internal and dependent on your reaction to stimulus and events. If you need a punching bag or to wail on a car with a bat you need to look in the mirror for the...
