Extirpate (ek-ster-peyt)

Definition: destroy; uproot

Source: Thesaurus.com

IronX is a product that will extirpate any sort of iron deposits on a car's finish. It aides in removing contaminates so that the claying process is a little easier and more efficient, thus making a more clean surface to correct the paint.
 
The opinions of the forum intelligensia, concerning certain brands of automotive waxes, seem to be just as overpriced as the product itself.

Now, the question : is this conjugated properly? Can this noun be overpriced?
 
Excellent word choice for this forum.


OPC ,in conjunction with the use of the Tornador Black, will essentially extipate the grime usually associated with the interiors of daily driver vehicles. It is also a product that is neither overhyped , nor overpriced.
 
^^ Thank you for your contributions Vegas! I actually almost pulled the trigger on a Tornador black with my VIP gift card. I sided against it though because for someone like me, it just does not justify the cost when I can use that money for more appropriate items.
 
Yeah i know what you mean. The classic tornador is a versatile weapon in a detailers arsenal. Thusly, the Black should fit in nicely due to lack of parts wearing out such as the cone. My biggest headache with the classic has always been dropping, cracking, or stepping on the cone.

Very simple tool, with a small learning curve.

Lordy, Lordy...
I did a double-take when I first glanced at your "new word of the day"...Tundra_10!!! :D :laughing:

And because the weather's crappy today...


The word extirpate conjured up the need of a bodily function.
And OH!, so often, I've found this 'performance' serves as an unction.
Even tho' it has a way of keeping my: Outlook-in-Life, healthy and clean;
I just never thought of it in detailing-terms...Know what I mean?
Hope I didn't raise a big stink...Please accept my compunction.


Note: I'm placing the blame on my many attempts at trying to 'digest': All of the information concerning car-care-products...For the above posting!!!


:D

^^ Thank you for contributing FUNX725! lol I always read words wrong and give myself quiet a chuckle, immediately following my shock and awe of what I thought I read.

This reminds me of a product I saw at the grocery store about a year ago. I thought I read it wrong, had to reread it and pick it up. I did not and oh my goodness was it funny. There is quiet the background on the product as well...

^^^^^^^^^^^^LMAO^^^^^^^^^^^^

That's one of the funniest "Package" label of all time!!
[Unlike the "Richard" & Jane storybooks....I'd hate to: "See Spot Run"...though

Thanks for sharing!

-I use to think this was a humorous product...But it pales in comparison to yours!!

New Word of the Day: 2/22/12

Philander (fi-lan-der)

Definition: (of a man) to make love with a woman one cannot or will not marry; carry on flirtations.

Source: Thesaurus.com

Can a detailer be a philanderer? Would detailing be considered "making love" to an automobile? Furthermore, the detailer is not "marrying" the car as he will give it back to the client when finished. So I ask the question, can it be?
 
:laughing: Metaphorically speaking, this word choice reminds me of the Herbie The Love Bug movies.:buffing:
 
^^ Haha! Those movies were my favorite when I was little!

Interesting "new word" choice.
Correlation between a 'Cad' and a 'Cadillac', perhaps?

I'll try to not wax philosophically.


Although being name-called a: Philanderer...has many connotations...I always prided myself in the provision of the most 'romantic-settings' for my dates over the years.
That's why the interiors of my vehicles have always been fully detailed; and, I ensure that the climate-control-systems are in full working order...
Because...IMHO...That's the kind of thing you do when you care.

-Hope you don't mind, Tundra_10...
A few more "definitions" of Philander(er) I've come to know and love over the years:

-Just my luck...Judging by the itching and the rash, I think I'm allergic to prostitutes.
-It is better to have been on penicillin, than never to have loved at all.
-If a case of the clap spreads, is it called 'applause'?
-It's only premarital sex if you're going to get married.
-I can't mate in captivity.
-A "Wannabe Philanderer": Pardon me, my Dear...But does this cloth smell like chloroform to you?
-Thoughts from a "New Age" Philanderer: Looks like all those years of phone sex caught up with me... I have hearing AIDS.


One last "definition":
I once met a woman who offered her honor.
So I decided the right thing was to honor her offer.
But: A date who's a looker, a shot of booze and: Being willin',
Was no excuse for this date with a hooker, ooze and a shot of penicillin'...
Yet all night long I was on-her and off-her.



One for the road, though!!

I wonder how many times I have purchased products, at a suggested retail price, without knowing by whom they are manufactured. More than likely, I've overspent for many products that I assumed were of: "The Name on the Label"
Companies' in-house manufacturing processes.

But later, when upon conducting further research, I found that some of these products were from a contract manufacturer that offers private labeling/branding for many retailers and suppliers.

If armed with this information at the time-of-purchase, I now attempt to go "straight to the horse's mouth", as it were.
I find this practice to be prudent.

After tediously working all day at detailing vehicles...[that may include, at times, using *decontamination systems (which may cause sensory irritations) to edulcorate the vehicles' paint films]...Detailers may wind up having salt-encrusted, sensory-irritable, work clothing.



OH! If only these objectionable contaminates were so easily edulcorated!!!
-That is, to say:
"In an *IronX-fashion, sort of way".
