Tariffs. And the last few years brought more of them than ever, paid for by you and me. I read a recent article that estimated that tariffs added an additional $25-30K in lumber costs to the price of the average new home.

I have been wondering whether borax might be another effective booster to add in when doing MF laundry. Borax is known to boost the cleaning power of detergents, plus borax, when combined with water, will yield some hydrogen peroxide and thus some cleaning power of its own.

Here's how I do it ... Take piece of tape and turn it upside down, with adhesive side up. I then slide the leading edge of the tape under the piece of trim, then fold the tape up and back over the trim piece to cover it. So the only tape edge exposed is in the middle of the trim piece or...

:hungry: :drool: And look at all that nice fat ... that farm-raised crap has little to none, and tastes blah. :eek:

Nonna always said to stay away from the cheap clams ... :eek:

I've been super-sized ... Im the MAN

BF One Step is available on the Canadian web site for that "jungle" company started by Jeff Bezos ...

Stunning work as always, Scott ! But Sir Mix-a-Lot says the new C8 'Vette has competition for the title of "Ugliest Butt in the Business" ... :laughing:

There's lots of "old school" products around that still hold their own pretty well against the new kids on the block. One of the biggest, if not main, "feature", of the newer products is their longevity. So if you're "old school" and don't mind (or even enjoy) applying a good wax/sealant 2-3X...

Yes, you can apply the BF One Step by hand ... that's one of the reasons I suggested it as you had previously stated you were working by hand. BF One Step is neat because you can dial up or down its correction ability by altering your method of application (hand or machine) as well as the...

If you just want to apply a straight-up sealant, try one of these : Duragloss Total Performance Polish (TPP) # 105 + Duragloss Polish Bonding Agent (PBA) #601 (Mix 4 parts #105 to 1 part #601 and then apply) or Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant Now if you want to do a little light...

Exactly. But if buying new, then Speed Queen (as you suggested) is definitely the way to go. If the wife objects, consider a different one ... wife, that is. :laughing:

WTH kind of frog is that ? :dunno:

Years and years ago, I used to buy tame rabbits (fully-dressed) for a $1.50 each from a good ol' boy who worked in the factory. Rabbit is super delicious no matter how you cook it !

" Dang it, he tricked me again ... I thought we were just going for a ride. "

Well, you've been around here for a good while, so you know how seldom coupon codes are valid on polishers ...

I was just going to ask him if that was what he did, it's far and away still the best method on stainless and also fine for aluminum as long as you take appropriate cautions (ie. it's soft). Major accomplishment on those seats as well. :props: Looks like there is a 2nd Javelin / AMX in the...

Probably has something to do with the natural "lubricity" of chrome ? :dunno: In our stamping operations, for deep drawing processes we often chrome-plate the die "punch" and the bottom portion of the die set that the punch enters. Doing this allows the metal to "flow" more easily and...

I agree with everyone else on using the Solution Finish. Unfortunately, that will only work for your black trim (although they also make a gray version). For your tan trim, there isn't a color-specific product like Solution Finish, so you might try this : Gtechniq C4 Permanent Trim Restorer...

Buy yourself a cheap, used, old-school top loading washer, then maintain it (they're very simple to work on).
