Random thoughts thread

Random thought- I use a waterless wash for cleaning the sliding glass patio doors since it makes it easy to have streak free glass, plus makes the dog nose prints wipe off easier.

There’s something strangely rewarding about watching a boxelder bug slide down the door because it can’t properly cling to the glass.

The $5 coating on Amazon

Looks kind familiar. Wonder if there’s a significant difference between this and the expensive stuff?

Was thinking for stuff around the house more than cars

OOOOH you guys who can use a WW/RW on glass make me envious!

We wouldn`t use it on the exterior of windows/doors though, as it might make it hard on the frogs that we like seeing. They climb around on the glass and eat the bugs that interior lighting attracts. We even leave some lights on overnight to keep the cafeteria in business

Wouldn`t that be something? I`m not sure whether I`d laugh or cry.

Wondering if this would be almost as good as my scangrip for 1/3 of the price.
The scangrip has a CRI of 95, but is lower in everyother category.
BTW, this is @ Sam`s Club for $70.

IMO, there is a big difference in the 80 CRI you have vs 95 CRI

I`m sure there is a difference, but is it a $200 difference?
I have the scangrip now and love it and want 1 or 2 more, but I`m just a part timer.
Then again, I dont want to waste the money on these just to buy the scangrips later.
This is just more for convenience, saving me time of moving the light from one side to the other.

Sometime, I still prefer a good old fashion light bulb at a angle - like we use to do it in the old skool way..

If you want bang for the buck, and you`re into power tools, how about some Milwaukee LEDs. I do use them when detailing sometimes.....I have the handheld flood 1200 Lumens, floodlight - goes up to 3K lumens and also 2 Rocket Towers. And it`s cordless lighting to boot, with all of them taking AC voltage except for the 1200 Lumens handheld

Not exactly high CRI as well, but the red lights are 85 CRI if I recall

If being used for swirl-spotting, it can be kinda surprising what works well/doesn`t. I *still* find a regular old bare incandescent bulb, is *VERY* good for simulating the "lights in parking lot at night" conditions. Even just a little 60w can work fine. Lumens, CRI, those don`t always factor in at all, at least not in a functionally desirable way, at least IME.

You may may be able to get it cheaper on eBay. I got a bottle for $5 shipping included. I used it on my bathroom sink and fixtures. Actually I don’t think it would be bad on wheels. Truthfully it probably would not be bad on paint. I’ve seen the YouTube videos of people using it and while it may not be the best, on a DD who cares. I’m sure it protects better than wax and the shine comes from the prep anyway.

AGREE! Seems 2nd shift you miss a lot. One month runs into the other. Dark around 8PM now. Sad.

Dang PA, you`re up early for 2nd shift though. I can`t make myself get up before 7:30am.

I really like 2nd shift actually. Mainly because where I work there`s only a couple buildings doing production. Not as busy since I`m maintenance, we get to do more laid back stuff like preventative work orders and other stuff that can`t be done during production. That and there`s not as many watching eyes; not that we`re doing anything wrong it`s just nice not getting yelled at for going 2mph over the plant speed limit...

Now the other night when the power went out for a couple seconds it was all hands on deck resetting stuff. There`s only 4 of us on that shift; 2 electricians, 1 technician, and 1 mechanic. Was all we could do to keep up for a couple hours...
