Go ahead and shoot 'em. I'd be proud to sit on yur jury.

They can put out a great volume of liquid. I use one for wet sanding.

I have a penchant for SciFi. One of my favorites and a classic is Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein as a stand alone. It's a tad dated but still very good. My favorite Sci Fi serial is the Mission Earth series by L. Ron Hubbard. Don't worry, there's no hokey religious stuff...

Also, if it is, in fact, HF (hydrofloric acid) try to get some calcium carbonate to keep on hand. HF has an affinity for calcium and even a tiny portion on your skin will quickly migrate to your bones. Rinse the affected area and apply calcium carbonate to attract the HF. The problem is that...

Mold likes warm dark moist places. If you can remove the foam from the SUV, spray some chlorine (I started to type chloroform, he he don't mind me I'm from Orlando) bleach like Clorox and set it in the sun. A stronger substitute for Clorox is chlorine liquid from a pool supply place. Be very...

Why would the CDC keep statistics about gun deaths. Are guns a disease?

For those of you that might be worrying about reliability. I have 2 Hyundais in my yard now. The wifes 05 Elantra and my 08 Tiburon. Neither has given us the slightest worry. In fact, neither has been back to the dealership since we drove 'em off the lot. I can't say that about any other...

The sad part is that the car's paint was prolly corrected some and then went right back on the lot with it's new thin skin.

Unique to Florida is the Luv Bug thing. Soon I'm gonna be dealing with a 1998 car that has never had anything more than a hosing off or run thru a car wash more than 3 or 4 times in it's life. The finish isn't oxdized, nor has it swirls. Lots of bug damage, road debris, environmental...

Historically, great societies have been built on the backs of slave labor and the US is no less guilty of this than any other society. Sometime back around the time of the US civil war we saw the error of our ways. At least for agricultural slavery. Keeping folks tied down to their poverty...

To remove dents & dings you might want to consider this: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CgigL1610Y&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL]‪Paintless Dent Removal with Central Florida Dent Repair 1‬‏ - YouTube[/video]

Personally, I prefer no treatment whatsoever, just clean tires. I know different folks have different expectations and when doing for a customer it's practically expected. I'm not a pro, so I do as I please. But it is a good way to cover up dirty tires. As a tire chain spokesman here in...

Nice job. A testament to your skills. The problem with these old Corvettes is that the fiberglass outgasses from the back side of the panel which is usually unfinished. That causes the resin to completely dry out and essentially turn to powder. On cases I've seen up to 10 gallons of resin...

Very nice job! An added benefit is that you had to change out your brake fluid. An often overlooked maintenance item on most any car. FYI to anyone looking to do something similar. Just about any paint will do. I've seen guys do a color match to their body using regular 2 part modern auto...

I bought Poorboy's stuff so I could work in the sunlight. I have a carport so I could use that, but I could see the defects better in the sunlight. So I go to use the first step polish and the panel is so hot the polish just turned to sludge after just a few seconds. The ROP could barely...

You can get a Genesis Coupe for $22,500. I own 2 Hyundais, a 2005 Elantra and 2008 Tiburon, and neither has had to back to the dealership for any kind of warranty work including the niggling little stuff you sometimes have to take new cars back for. And only Kia has an equal warranty.

Prolly has melamine in it!

I once rode my bike thru a swarm of Luv bugs. It blotted out my headlight. Once thru the swam I had to stop and clean all the guts off the bike and me, new shirt, jeans and sox. But, still as Nick says, better bugs than snow.

Stainless is easy, but time consuming. Unlike paint, it's the same material all the way through. Start with hand sanding wet/dry sandpaper at the grit necessary to remove the undesired marks. Use the paper wet. Then use finer and finer wet sandpaper until you get to the point where whatever...

I've used Forever Black on an old Honda CRV whose black trim (bumpers & side rub strips) had turned grey. First off, don't use the applicator supplied, it'll all run out onto the ground. I poured some into a plastic cup and a 1" or 2" foam brush. The product is water soluable so the brushes...
