LOL, After 45 years of marriage the only thing I find troubling is that jewelers from coast to coast are on a first name basis with my wife. I can't argue too much though as she always smiles when another box of detailing supplies arrive. Turns out, its good to keep the better half...

Best wishes Mike, for a long and happy marriage.

I lowered the temp in my garage. I found that the builder of my home did not vent the enclosed attic area over the garage. I installed a cupola and a bunch of soffit vents, added several batts of attic insulation in the attic over the garage and it now stays about 20 degrees F cooler. FWIW...

My $0.02. Some newer cars come with a permanent rain repellant coating applied to the glass. Using steel wool or muriatic acid will damage that coating. I'd recommend a safer approach like clay. Clay will take off all the road grime and contaminants. I also like cleaning the inside glass...

IMO, Leather Masters is among the best leather care products in the US market.

Doing a bit more thinking about the loss and I'd be a bit worried about a couple more things. 1. If someone finds the phone and starts to make a lot of international calls you could get a surprise bill in the mail from your carrier. 2. What data did you have on that phone? If someone who was...

FYI, If you are an iPhone user, you have all your contacts, calandar and email in the iCloud, which auto syncs to all your Apple devices. In addition, you could use the "Find My Phone" feature to pinpoint the exact location of your phone via GPS mapping. I'd suspect similar functionality is...

A side note some may find humorous... My wife discovered my D156 and I found her using it on all our SS appliances, our washer and dryer, all our mirrors and on our patio doors. Since she liked it so much I mixed a bit of D120 Glass Cleaner Concentrate with a couple ounces of D156 and wound up...

I'd also chime in here and suggest that this may be a user issue. Foam is not going to take excessive heat. As the tool operator you need to inspect the pad after a couple passes and clean it. You can't just run the thing on high speed indefinitely. Pick up the PC and examine the pad after...

Did you clean the pad as you were using it? A pad will absorb lots of lubricant, spent polish and paint as you polish. If you don't clean the pad as you go it won't cut as well and likely mean that you will be applying more pressure than necessary, generating much more heat. The excess of...

I store all my stuff in the garage during the warmer months and transfer it to the lower level of my home in the winter. My garage would get quite hot in the summer so I opened up the drywalled ceiling and found no vents and no insulation. I added a bunch of soffit vents, a vented cupola to...

If you have a P&S camera be sure to put it in macro mode and follow the tips on getting something in the image to focus on. Vary the light/camera angle to best illustrate the defect you are trying to highlight. Using a moderate to high f-stop will make more of the image in the sharp focus...

Call Meg's and they will usually take care of any problem you have with their products. 1-888-888-3143 in the US.

They are only showing two, the Standard Sprayer (D110516) and the Chemical Resistant Sprayer (D110542) in their 2012 Pro Catalog and at their website. 

I suspect the reason the sprayers are sold separately at Meg's is that they offer two different spray heads. One is chemical resistant and one is not. I wondered why they don't just offer the appropriate spray head with the type of chemical the bottle is labeled for since the bottle with out a...

I can put a plug in for SW FL. I love the area around Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples. IMO, you need to get this far south to enjoy mostly warmer and dryer, 75-80 degree winter weather. Pros: +Excellent weather, beaches, fishing, water sports and recreational opportunities. +Depressed home...

That's roughly how much water it takes to make 1 gallon of ethanol. LOL! Try redirecting this enviro-whaco to that cause. Maybe let him spend his idle time running with that bone. :detailer:

I love my Makita MAC700 Extremely quiet, powerful, rugged and reliable.

There have been several cases of those glass eyepiece filters breaking due to the heat. If it breaks the suns magnified intensity could blind you permanently in a second. I'd toss that filter immediately. Inexpensive aluminized mylar full aperture filters are safe and effective. They go over...

While the moon is an easy object most anytime, it is best served, IMO, during it's phases as then you can see the rills and craters in relief with a lot of shadow detail and contrast. For example: In this photo you can see Tycho, a large impact crater in the southern highlands (lower right)...
