    Something to do During Retirement

    I did some 'under the table' work until last year. The home front just was taking much to much time and nothing left (body wise) to continue. Oh, turned 74 this summer. Bill

    Blast from the past - TR3 Resin Glaze

    One of the beauties of M-05 was that is was like #7 but was great for using 'machine application'. That and it worked super on those hot/humid days. To bad it was discontinued (to my way of thinkin'). Bill

    Blast from the past - TR3 Resin Glaze

    Did a quick Google search and see the Vista was first introduced in '57. As to using it...really want to give a smart a** answer (I'm 74, whada you think?), but yes. Prior to an AOI it was Simonize Kleener and then Simonize paste. A real workout for sure. For those in the know, there was...

    Blast from the past - TR3 Resin Glaze

    If I am correct, Vista was the first "cleaner/wax" to hit the shelves. I wanna say around 1960. Bill

    I am lost right now

This is NOT to say use their products, but may give ya a head start of what removes what. Make sense? Can't seem get my fingers and brain to work together this morning (LOL)...

    What's the siding? Fiberglass? How to fix?

    Looking and lookin' more and considering the age...I leaning that the siding is aluminum. As Mike as stated, the 'paint' is gonna be super thin. Do have any 'cleaner/wax' on hand? Take LITTLE on your finger tip and massage into the finish and see what the results are. Oh, and do this in an...

    Thankfull for this forum

    I'll preface this with...I don't/haven't post much this past year but I do read daily. I've never seen any forum that is as 'kind' as this one. Guys (and gals) will get into a heated disagreement and somewhere long the line something will get misunderstood...and soon one reads an apology...
