Been using Mother's top line exclusively for years. Will detail my vehicle next week with upgraded products: XMT, Klasse, Souverain while I use current Mother's stock on my buddie's new car. Can then report on the differences. BTW, most emergency stations use Mother's OTC stuff for their rigs...

Scooter - will raid my kid's drawer this weekend and try it. Will report results in about two weeks.

For those lacking a dedicated all purpose cleanser the fallback seems to be Simple Green. Haven't tried it yet because of the warnings, but what about old reliable Murphy's Oil Soap, the one that looks and pours like motor oil with the lemon scent? Has this been discarded in favor of Oxi Clean...

They also carry many sliding shelves and baskets which can be customized to fit any space. This is helpful if living in an apartment.

Ballet moves, threads, all in life will "turn and go a different direction" as in torque or torsion. Only a strong tool can bear the stress. Went to Virgin megastore last night, but spent less than I wanted to save for my next AG order - another turn, I suppose.

Which products are best for old steel bicycles? Assuming the routine is the same, is Klasse recommended above WG or Pinnacle? Anyone ever try this?

All good choices, FN and Scooter. Always strive to read in between buffing sessions and workouts. After rereading Faulkner and Wharton I will work up to Proust's Remembrance Of Things Past and Joyce's Ulysses (third attempt). The quest is like that elusive perfect shine. Not all repasts need be...

The sacred need not necessarily preclude the inane. An avid reader myself, I, too, eschew the box. BTW, fiction or non-fiction? How often do you judge a book or CD by its cover? Why detail a car if the engine and systems are neglected? Also, how long will it take until I go all Zen with the...

Poorly written; sorry. I meant to echo Scooter's praise for the car shows in contrast to deriding the Messers L. As for Gilligan's Island and Love Boat, well, some things are sacrosant. Then again, I am easily awed and prefer not to think too much. (It can be dangerous and painful.)

Like Liberace in the sense that they rely upon their personalities and showmanship to overwhelm their respective craftsmanship. Both are very successful entrepeneurs. It's effieminate flamboyance vs. brusque flamboyance, but each is an audience ho, for sure. As with most pop culture, spectacle...

A vinegar solution can be considered a chemical bath. This contrasts to the polish which is a mechanical abrasive scrub. The trick would be to determine the proper dilution ratio. Too much or too long may mar while too little would prove inadequate. This probably will not be an issue if followed...

I'll pass on the Paste Glaz, but maybe someone could offer those styrofoam burger boxes? Sad that our children never will know the sensuous satisfaction of opening a soft foam box to be hit with the perfume of greasy steam wafting its enticing spell to the treasure within. What price practical...

After hundreds of hours on this and other boards I finally submitted my first order. Among other items I will receive the Edge 2000 PC Kit, the Forum Favorite Kit, and the Pinnacle XMT Intro Kit. How many of you remember your first time? What did you purchase? How long ago? About how much did...

(wrong key) ... one of my mechanics, I have three, always complains about the gas companies. His latest tirade was how they recently reformulated gasoline to improve profit margins. In consequence, he claims that even new engines are burning oul prodigiously, sometimes leading to catastrophic...

Very helpful info in this thread; now some caution. If you use one of the chain specialty quick change shops for regular maintenance, be wary. The problem isn't so much the oil, which is a generic, standard grade product, it is the filters. Frequently they use the poorest quality imported media...

Bill, that is my plan once I get the remedial polishing done. Have tried it before, but must have running water and electric to work properly and thoroughly. BTW, it also is illegal; the constabulary has been cracking down on such things since Giuliani's tenure. Quality of life and more revenue...

Truly an appreciable difference once I cleaned my monitor. Well done.

Wifew got us tickets to the Elvis C. concert at BAM. Reddwarf and Ong-Bak, ditto the groups. Kids these days just go from awful violent TV cartoons to awful and violent MP3 copmilations. I'll take Tom & Jerry or Rocky and Bullwinkle anyday! Anyone here still buy CDs?

So the XMT polishes are similar to Poorboy's except that they should be appplied only by machine whereas Poorboys can be applied by both hand and machine?

Roy Orbison, Mahalia Jackson, Devo, The Kinks, The Who, Eurhythmics, Traffic, Genesis, and Weird Al Yankowitz mostly. Really want to try some Hypno/Trance-Techno, though. Any suggestions, Excessive Detail?
