    Vinyl Decals

    What would be the difference between factory installed and dealer installed? They decals are the same kit that the dealer orders from GM. We bought the Camaro new with factory decals (listed as an option on the window sticker). Not sure if it makes a difference between the flat vs bright...

    I Need Help Determining What This Tire Dressing Is!

    Like I said...a lot of different dressings act the same way evidenced by the responses from people who have seen/experienced this with different dressings. No way to know for sure what it is, just be glad it's gone.

    I Need Help Determining What This Tire Dressing Is!

    Not sure if there is a way to tell, but I think most, if not all are water based these days. Solvent based dressings like Armor All back in the 80s would dry out rubber and cause it to crack. Solvent based dressings also dried quickly. This stuff seams to be tacky for quite a while...Come to...

    I Need Help Determining What This Tire Dressing Is!

    Hard to say, there are so many silicone based gel dressings that do the exact same thing. They look like glue when you're trying to scrub them off. The stuff slings everywhere, and collects every piece of dust and dirt that comes close to them. Dealerships use them because they are cheap...

    1949 T28 aluminum training plane detailed

    Many people believe/predict that the German jet fighters would have been the turning point of WWII, but they were too little to late. Thankfully they were never able to produce many and put them into action.

    1949 T28 aluminum training plane detailed

    Also, only two US aces during Korea scored kills in anything other than an F-86. One in the F4U and the other, Major Boots Blesse, had kills in the P-51, F-80, and F-86.

    1949 T28 aluminum training plane detailed

    Correct, but not in their traditional fighter roles. They tried initially, but they did not fair well against jet fighters. The US brought in the F-86, which took over the air to air role. Just did a little more research on it since my memory is fading a bit on details. Propeller...

    1949 T28 aluminum training plane detailed

    The Navy builds ships, the Army buys tanks, the marines....well they're the marines. The Air Force builds dormitories and golf courses. Age old saying, the Air Force builds a golf course and then puts a base around it. Of course it's not true, but exaggerations start somewhere. Not trying to...

    Winter Undercarriage protection

    Honestly, I don't trust any miracle product for the undercarriage. I prefer to pull my car into a local coin op, spend $2 and get underneath with a good spray of soap, rinse, and wax. A coating will not remove the salt from the nooks and crannies and any salt will eventually eat through...

    Why the hype about water beading?

    $$$, if they developed a tool for that, it would have to be very sensitive to detect something as thin as a coat of wax. That costs money and the cost of the tool to measure it would be expensive with a limited market willing to pay for it. Measuring clear coat has a larger market, but also...

    Waste not, want not!

    The spray master heavy duty bottles are great. They are chemically resistant and work great. Although I try to be loyal to AG, you can get these bottles at Home Depot for $5.99 no waiting, no shipping. The other thing I like about them, they have a space for writing the contents. A black...

    True, the Air Force really knows how to live. I'm amazed the other branches haven't figured it out yet.

    1949 T28 aluminum training plane detailed

    The problem with the T-28 as a fighter is that it came into service at the same time as the F-86. The same reason the P-51 (P-pursuit), the power horse of WW II, became obsolete within a few years of being introduced. The jet age was upon us! That is the reason the US used them for COIN...

    Bought a used service vehicle that had decals: decals gone but paint gloss still shows decal outline

    Credit card...or you can go use the plastic to buy a plastic scraper/razor. Takes it right off and then a little clean up and you'll never know it was there. I make them remove them at the dealership.....unless they are willing to knock off a couple hundred for advertising, then I'll wait until...
