    Neighbour says HyperWash is killing our grass on the median! I say no! Who's right?!

    Your neighbor is an idiot. Lawn care basics : 1. Mow @ 3-4 inches 2. Always cut with a sharp blade (dull cuts leave any plant open to disease, etc.) 3. Never mow grass when it's wet (ties in with #2) 4. Deep-water (~1 in.) once a week during hot/dry spells 5. Water in the early morning, never...

    Thank you Mike Phillips

    Been away slaying walleye and come back to this. Wow. BIG loss for AG. Does his condo association allow him to do detailing under the carport ? :D

    Electric cars...neutering gearheads and freedom, HOW DID WE GET HERE!

    As a 40+ year veteran of the industry, where to start ... :rolleyes: First off, I am afraid you have succumbed to one of the bazillion+ conspiracy theories out there ... there's literally one for any topic you choose. The auto industry is probably the most consumer-focused and...

    Tire Dressing

    Using a flag-tipped brush to apply tire dressing is the bees knees, definitely one of the best tips I have picked up from this forum (thanks Eldo ! :xyxthumbs:). To answer your question specifically, it works very well for cutting in around wheels. The best analogy I can think of is how a sash...

    In line with the old saying that "Even a blind squirrel can find a nut" , the very first and only tire product I have purchased from AG is DG253.

    I gotta say that is one of the most impressive Before/After shots I've seen here on AG. :dblthumb2: Really nice work Jacob !

    How-to: Protect Door Gaskets with SONAX GummiPfleger

    Ha ha ... I see what you did there. A "Kosmetic" detail for the "Kompressor". :D And I did notice a difference in Before vs. After ... all the plastic parts now have a nice, even/level matte appearance. :xyxthumbs: You just added to my Wish List with that sprayer as the wife keeps...

    Leather Help, QUICK. Only have 2 days...

    The old "Ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" works every time. I'd also echo the suggestion to cover the seats with some sheets/blankets, but I'd skip putting the plastic down ... that would just let the blanket/sheet slip and slide all over the place. Moving blankets would probably...

    Checking in! Finally purchased my dream car! 2006 Viper

    I've always thought they looked like a Peter Brock-penned Shelby Daytona. Not surprising since the inspiration of the car was to be a modern-day "Cobra". Even given a snake name ... by no less than Giorgetto Giugiaro ! I don't think "depreciation" is even in the vocabularly when speaking of...
