I was going to try and use UWW+ in an injection sprayer, fed by the 250 psi pump on my extractor. The extractor has a 2000W heater which I can either leave off or turn on, and I wondered if anyone has tried this before. The thought being, for about the same amount of water+UWW I'd mix up to do...

For whatever reason, the price of the distilled water I buy has gone up about 20% this year. Not that it's a big amount of money or anything, I'm just wondering why, and if this is happening everywhere. I always buy the store-branded 2.5 gallon jug with a built-in pour spout, now over 3...

I pre-clean many of my towels in a 5-gallon bucket, especially the really dirty/greasy ones. If I have under about 6-8 MF towels or so, which is too small a load and drives the automatic-load-balancing in the washer crazy, I wash them by hand (but use the dryer to dry them). As I seem to be...

Anyone know if there's TV coverage? I can't find any mention of it so I guess that means no. Race is on Sunday.

This seems to be a popular small-sized wet-dry vac around here. Do you need to buy a separate foam filter to use it as a wet vac or is it ready to go, out of the box? (model # is WD4070)

Anyone ever use PB Blaster on stuck brass fittings? I've only ever used it on iron/steel parts before. The can doesn't say anything about brass so I thought I'd ask.

Any carpet extractor mechanics out there? I'm having a problem with the pump (250 psi, piston) on a carpet extractor. When I switch on the pump to try and prime it, the pump sounds like it's working but no solution flows. The unit hasn't been used in a long time, so maybe there's some crud...

I haven't checked in to the forum much lately, so maybe this has already been discussed to death. At this link is a video for a 145 psi "Vapor Rino" steam cleaner (in the video, just water/steam, no chemicals are used. Skip ahead to the 2 minute point)...

I did a search but didn't find much. I wanted to coat my wheels (at least the faces and spoke edges where brake dust accumulates, but maybe the internal surface of the rim too. That's hard to reach fully though), and wondered about the recommended process. Is it better to apply the product with...

What's the official shelf life (stored at room temperature) once opened? If there's no official word, has anyone gone say 2 years after opening and the products was still OK?

I don't fly much, so this was all news to me. While booking a trip I noticed first that most airlines now charge for carryon bags, but don't show that cost in their quoted fares. If that wasn't enough, I noticed also that the carryon bag sizes have been reduced and some airlines really enforce...

On a recent visit to some out-of-state friends I noticed their headlights are very clouded. I've not had to deal with clouded headlights on my garage queen vehicles so I wasn't sure what to recommend. The vehicle is a mid-2000's VW. Which of the headlight restoration kits are consumer-friendly...

My car was fairly dusty, built up over a couple weeks, so instead of just using UWW+ at home, I decided I'd go to the self-serve car wash and blast the dust off the paint and wheels just using the rinse setting, then spritz it with UWW+ to wipe it dry. I ended up getting some linear scratches...

(and I realize this is "crazy talk" to 99% of the population) If not, what do you do to maintain these surfaces, if anything? And on a related note, when people apply coatings, do you apply the coating to these surfaces?

I've got a 14 year old Tundra that I've owned since new, and thought I'd look into new trucks just for kicks. The first thing I noticed is that all current full size trucks are a good bit longer than my Tundra, which barely fits in the garage as is. So much for that. I then looked up the...

I've had an unopened bottle of BF MF cleaner sitting on a shelf for maybe 4 months, and just picked it up and there was a puddle under it and the bottle was leaking. I guess it ate away the plastic on the bottle. Anyone else had this happen?

Will all single-stage paint, even if “showroom new condition” show color on your pad and wiping towel if you use a light abrasive polish, or does the paint have to be oxidized first and in fairly weathered condition, before color transfer will begin to show up? And/or does it require a fairly...

Looks like a rate hike: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/31/technology/amazons-shares-fall-as-revenue-disappoints.html?hpw&rref=business&_r=0 Wonder how many will not renew their membership with a rate hike...

I wonder how many sales RUPES have lost because of the many online comments about having issues with curved panels, and people decide they don't want to deal with that and they buy another machine. They should make a video starting with a new user of a RUPES 21 or 15 polishing a concave curved...
