Question

yes I remember that thread it was by you! ehehehe Stripping AG style or something like that. Yes I know about the alcohol/water and what it can do, but my question was more regarding the vinegar and what it's capabilities are. I know it removes water spots and wax and stuff, but I was just curious as to which treatment was better the alcohol/water or the vinegar. That's really the thinking behind my question.
 
I don't care about your question anymore, I wanna find out my old question's answer now:D
 
will alcohol/water mix remove sealant? What will if it won't? Polishing again? I'm asking because I'm trying new products and want a "clean slate" when I do to get honest results. Thanks.
 
A vinegar solution can be considered a chemical bath. This contrasts to the polish which is a mechanical abrasive scrub. The trick would be to determine the proper dilution ratio. Too much or too long may mar while too little would prove inadequate. This probably will not be an issue if followed quickly by polishing which effectively exfoliates prior to moisturizing (glazing, waxing).
Also, Emeril is the modern era Liberace. Flamboyant show with disappointing product - an acquired taste at best.
 
Thanks for your comments Torion Tool. I'm trying to picture a Brooklyn accent as I read them! :p If Emeril is anything like Liberace, then I am so glad to be ignorant in that respect. lol I cook mostly carribean food and although I don't watch many tv shows, I've never seen a cooking show that highlighted latin/carribean cuisine. Mostly it's french, or italian or asian, but rarely is carribean food discussed in any detail which is probably why I don't watch those kinds of shows. I'd much rather watch wrecks to riches or overhaulin. :p

NO, not like Liberace!
OVerhaulin, hmm. I love Speed Channel's Two Wheel Tuesday! Lots of Harleys! Can't wait until i cna start building my bobber...now I'm sad, it'll be a few years.
 
Like Liberace in the sense that they rely upon their personalities and showmanship to overwhelm their respective craftsmanship. Both are very successful entrepeneurs. It's effieminate flamboyance vs. brusque flamboyance, but each is an audience ho, for sure. As with most pop culture, spectacle remains the primary Aristotelian element with the remaining six far behind if present at all. Ditto Speed Channel and Overhaulin'.

I'm sorry but I am laughing my a$$ off right now!!!! ROFL!! Yeah Scooter, didn't you know? All people from Brooklyn talk like that! FOGET ABOUT IT!! LOL Ay, Torsion Tool, I thoroughly enjoyed reading your comments. You're friggin hilarious! But what's wrong with Overhaulin? That's a cool show. And it's educational! :D

I'm afraid to ask you what you think of such savory television delicacies as Gilligan's Island and the Love Boat! :p Hey!! Did you know they filmed Gilligan's Island right in my hometown in Fort Lauderdale?? That's right baby. But what about that age old mystery of the Howell's clothes? Why bring so much clothes for a 3 hour tour?? Did they have a premonition? If so why even board the ship? HMMMMMMMMMMMMM Unsolved Mysteries. Maybe the guests can tell us.:p

Poorly written; sorry. I meant to echo Scooter's praise for the car shows in contrast to deriding the Messers L. As for Gilligan's Island and Love Boat, well, some things are sacrosant. Then again, I am easily awed and prefer not to think too much. (It can be dangerous and painful.)
 
Yeah don't hurt yourself!! Actually, I'm more of a book/music person than a sit and watch tv person. Sacrosant! LOL You kill me man! Too funny! I'll bet you're a hit in Canarsie!! :)
 
The sacred need not necessarily preclude the inane. An avid reader myself, I, too, eschew the box. BTW, fiction or non-fiction? How often do you judge a book or CD by its cover? Why detail a car if the engine and systems are neglected? Also, how long will it take until I go all Zen with the orbiter? Hope it will divert me from that thinking problem. Reruns can be hypnotically enticing sometimes.
 
ROFL!!!!! yeah, I tend to eschew the box. :p Call me overly Victorian but my favorite book of all time is Dracula by Brahm Stoker. I must have read it at least 50 times! I never get tired of it. I also love Don Quixote in Spanish and La Corza Blanca. It has beautiful imagery. But I do fancy quite a bit of non-fiction as well. Lots of books about cars. :D I don't judge a book by the front cover, but rather by it's back cover and prelude. My suggestion is that you DON'T go Zen with your orbiter otherwise by very definition you will have to give it away. Well, that might not be a bad thing if you promise to give it to me! :D I agree about the hypnotic enticement of re-runs I recently was pulled into an all night viewing orgy with Three's Company on TV Land. :p

And next up...yet another rendition of Pardise Lost, or heck might as well do Dante's Inferno!
 
All good choices, FN and Scooter. Always strive to read in between buffing sessions and workouts. After rereading Faulkner and Wharton I will work up to Proust's Remembrance Of Things Past and Joyce's Ulysses (third attempt). The quest is like that elusive perfect shine. Not all repasts need be victual. Though I may ask for a good goat recipe sometime. BTW, How is Blood Wedding in spanish?

I like House of Mirth by Wharton. Haven't read Faulkner yet. LOVE Shakespeare. Love Edgar Allen Poe since I was a brooding teenager. My husband is trying to read Ulysses. I've heard it called "the best book in the world and the worst book in the world." :p Curry goat is exceptionally tasty. I've never read Blood Wedding in Spanish or in English but the title would be translated "la boda de sangre".
 
I quit now!
Ulysseus has been on my list for years, always afraid to tackle it! Maybe after I get grad skewl outta the way!
