My first brand new car, a red 1964 Chevy Chevelle Malibu SS, 4 on the floor with a high revving 283 ci V8. I think the sticker was around $3,200. Sure brings back some memories, Thanks Mike, great job. :dblthumb2:

Just a correction. In the last paragraph where I said, "With a fresh coat of UQD, the snow slides off pretty easily..." I meant to say "With a fresh coat of UQW, the snow slides off pretty easily..." It is the UQW that adds the slickness and replenishes any LSP the touchless wash chemicals...

Running IOS7 on 2 iPhones and two iPads. Initially, the first few hours, it seemed it must be doing internal housekeeping as they were all slightly slower and battery drain was slightly higher. After that, it settled down to great performance and battery life. Some really nice new functions...

:iagree: Winter is the dry season in Florida. I can usually keep my car clean and shiny for months with just UQD and UQW. Lot to be said about this plan. No Snow, No salt, No slippery roads, No rust, No state income tax. T-shirt and shorts weather all winter. And did I fail to mention the...

Take the time to work on your own vehicles, clean up the garage, inventory your materials, test new tools or products, or take a day off and spend it with family. I never had that many cancelations so I never thought much about it. When they did occur, I actually enjoyed a day off. If you get...

I have a damaged disk between L5 and S1 vertebra and am able to control the issue with daily stretching and exercise. If you are like I was, I was taking better care of my cars than my body. Once you are back on your feet, start a daily exercise routine first thing in the morning before you...

Gold Class, or if you have hard water, NXT Car Wash. Nice OTC products, IMO. You can usually have your water tested for free from any water softener seller.

In a prior career, I worked near a marina on the shore of Lake Michigan. I parked in an open muni lot, which was home to hundreds of seagulls. Hardly a day went by that I didn't have to remove bird droppings, often two or three times. I found that carnauba offered a little better protection...

You may wish to print this exploded view and parts list to take with you. Print the Exploded Artwork PDF file. You can also download the user manual if you don't still have it. FWIW, Porter-Cable is owned by Black & Decker. They may have repair centers who may also be able to work on the PC...

I use my iPhone5 for a series of drop off shots and any questionable areas that might not be correctable. I shoot both inside and out. Upon completion I repeat the series and save the shots automatically via PhotoStream to my server. I don't do this for artistic or publishing value but as...

I use a pond fish net that looks like mosquito netting. I scoop the hummer up in the net and release him outside the garage. Now, I always keep a full HB feeder around the back of the house to lure them away from the garage and that seems to be working. They are attracted to vibrant reds and...

There are a couple things that may cause the DA to be non-operative. . 1. Check the outlet. Is it on a GFI and is it tripped? I mention this as I have found this in my home on more than one occasion. My first inclination is to think the PC is broken, LOL, It is 18 years old. 2. Check the...

D156 is from Meguiar's Detailer line. It is also known as Ultimate Quik Wax in their consumer lineup. But it is not really a WAX but rather a polymer sealant. I like that it makes the glass act like Rain-X or Aquapel has been applied. It lasts for a long time and is easy to apply. I use...

FWIW, Many ACE hardware stores around here are certified repair centers for Porter-Cable. I take my old PC in every couple years for lube and brush replacement. My 7424 is over 18 years old and has seen over a thousand cars and still get the job done. It likely will outlast me, LOL.

FWIW, The code for wiring in the US: Protective ground is either a bare or a green wire Neutral is a white wire Hot is always black or red in case of a three way. The plug neutral is always the wide blade and the bronze color connection while the hot connection the narrow blade and is the...

It's done for added measure of safety. The neutral side is typically at or very near ground potential and if a two-wire device like a metal toaster or a lamp is not polarized and the hot side of the plug is reversed there may be a greater chance of electrocution. Say touching the lamp bulb...

I've been quite happy with this model: Makita MAC700 Big Bore 2.0 HP Air Compressor - Amazon.com Quiet and has a lot of power. Rugged and runs better than a much larger unit I replaced.

Actually it's quite easy. Spray on a mf and wipe. It doesn't matter what it gets on, Makes everything look nice and it dries pretty slick. Lasts for months. Give it a try and see if you don't agree.

Leather Masters the product that most others are measured against here in the states. I have never been unhappy with the results and it is among the few products that actually prevent dye transfer.
