    Hoses, hoses and more hoses!

    I got the 3/4 inch hose too. I bought two fifty foot hoses at HomeDepot and keep them rolled up on two wheeled rollers. They are soo much stiffer than smaller hoses that I don't get any kinking. But they are very heavy. Even when being rolled from location to location.

    Stoked for xmas...now that I might have found some gifts. What did you ask for?

    Nothing. Anything reasonable I have already purchased for myself. And the jet helicopter or Gulfstream G 600 is out of my or any of my friends price ranges.

    and you thought you were smart...

    And my advice to the young lady helping with the trick is to shoot the trick from a different angle. You don't want to capture you cupping your hand to give the dog the "stop" signal. But I have always loved Boston Terriers.

    Need help with '92 Ferrari Mondial convertible window. Can this be repaired? Or Replace? 1

    No. Nothing will help enough to make it "like new" Take the car to a top shop and have a new plastic panel sewn in. It's not that expensive. It's just a piece of clear pliable plastic. It's the topmans skill that will make it a good or bad install.

    Dedicated washing machine

    Well. That insures that the stuff you find on your MF towels didn't come off of the kids tennis shoes.

    Polish Mixer/Shaker ---Any suggestions?

    I had a friend that bought an old paint store shaker. After he quit professional house painting he adapted it to all sorts of other stuff. He would take a gallon paint can, stuff it full of towels to support what he was shaking and let it go for five minutes. Whatever he put in there sure was...

    Is Iron Fallout a Regional Issue?

    I have only seen HORRIBLE iron contamination on cars that were transported across the country uncovered on trains. The rail dust was overwhelming in the old days. I once spent almost a full day with the red aggressive clay bar removing all the rail dust on a new yellow Ford. Since then iron-X...

    What's the best smelling fallout/iron remover?

    I wear nose plugs. The kind that swimmers wear. Looks funny, but it allows me to use up all my original Iron-X. Also good for when you need to use a gas station bathroom.

    Sanding Headlights Help?

    I am using the 3M headlight kit too. I continue to sand dry with the 500 until the dust coming off is white. I sane with the heavy cut until all the yellowing is gone. All the rest of the discs are just removing the damage done by the disc that went before. And I use water with everything from...

    Cleaning car carpet floor mats

Then into the washing machine with two cups of low suds Tide. Then a second entire wash with just warm water to get out the last of...

And on the way home I will be stopping off at Ralph's Supermarket. I like to go at the last moment so my frozen turkey will be as fresh as possible. Same with...

    Preserve Steering Wheel Finish/Appearance

    Or you may consider doing what I did. Since I am known for keeping a vehicle forever. I always purchase a few thing that I just know are going to look like crap in fifteen years or so. I bought a drivers seat cover, a horn pad, a steering wheel, a window switch cluster, knobs for the light, AC...
