    Paint Related......Weber

    One thing, and I just bought one myself, an E310, The stainless panels are magnetic stainless not 100% SS. In other words it could rust. The painted surpfaces are powder coated now due to the heat. Just keep it clean and spend the $50 and get a cover, you may have to do this every year as they...

    I Tested My Water Hardness

    If you do a lot of detail work, your better off with a Culligan Home tank unit that gets changed out every few weeks. You can then use if for your work/home place, in the long run much better all around. RO units much better for ice makers and drinking water.

    Lingering residue

    My car is about 4 months old, new Prius black color. I at first used Meg's NXT 2.0. I wanted something fast and easy for the first go around. Once I have done some reading and looking I got some Zanio AIO and applied it on the engine hood. They say you cant see it go on, and if you do see it, it...
