So, I can only get $2 of gas into my Jimmy at any one time. It isn't a blockage, I don't think, since i've gotten $8 in once, and $20 once. Is it possible that it isn't venting well? It is -20 celsius here (about -5 or -10 in the US?), but it was doing it at -5. So I'm not sure if the cold is...

It looks like I've sold my business!:yay Some of you knew I was trying to sell it. Some of the story is here: http://www.detailcity.org/forums/general-business-management-discussion/22333-i-give-up-update.html Well, we've signed papers and are moving toward a Feb 1st takeover. The young guy...

I'm a tech dummy. I've got these clips and personal videos that some tech friend of mine decided it would be best to have in avi or vcd. Now I can't find a free converter to dvd format that doesn't leave a watermark, or gets confused wtih vista. The one I finally found only copies 50% of what...

I'm wondering if anyone knows a product that will cut foam and bubbles from the shampoo we are using? I have a small extractor, but the bubbles sometimes get too high. I'm really wondering about what will neutralize the soap bubbles, something I can use, like vinegar or salt or acid or cream pies.

I love the Edge 2000 system. Nice feel, easy to use. But the adapter broke while working on a car Tuesday. The little ball bearings that snap in and out of place for the quick release fell out. I noticed the button was tight, but didn't notice the failure until I felt the pad wobble and grab on...

Hello All. I'm researching rust protection systems, the kind where you drill into the jambs, put the creeping protection chemical in, and it protects the inside of the panels. I know this isn't needed yearly in many places, but it is needed yearly here. Anyone use this in their business? If...

Hello all. It may seem that I am not around as much, but I am here every day (almost), reading, adding a thought here and there, and emailing an occasional thought. But I first talked to y'all a couple of years ago about wanting to give up...

Hello Canadians Just picked up a bunch of waxes, polishes and emergency car stuff on clearance at Zellers. I got 3M, Eagle 1, and some Turtle Wax products on sale (mostly 70% off or so). brenton

Hello folks. Got a request for an airplane, a '66 or 67 Cherokee. There is a pic attached, but it is tough to read the specs. Basically, 30' wingspan, 24' length. Silver on top half is heavily oxidized but will shine up nicely with a 2 stage polish (cut & polish). The burgundy below is tougher...

Yeah, a 2003 Porche Carrera 911, convertible. Black, the Honda Dealership dropped it off today to do our treatment. I'm doing some touch up and scratch repair before the treatment. Any tips or issues? There are a few weak paint points I'm worried about. And some leftover polish, but the try-out...

A neighbor of mine bought a new Black car--unwittingly of course. Comes to me after 1 wash and two weeks, saying, "It's faded and scratched!" I told him to go back to the dealer and assumed they would do nothing. They actually did something: sent it to the best buffing guy in town, a paint...

So, I've had a weird detailing week. 2 cop cars, one other gov van, new contract with an auto body shop, an oil truck (huge, 36 ft long, just fits in and everything froze when I tried to wash it yesterday), a hearse & lead car, and two jobs for a new dealership contract. Good week for early...

Someone had a thread about this product vs. others, but no one gave an opinion on the Malco brand itself. I'm looking at one of the X-tractors New Malco Products the 600 or 1200, which is one of the few brands with a nearby distributor and fix-it centre. Anybody use this? Any hints on whether...

Just wondering. I'm a fan of Forrest Gump. We watch it at the end of every holiday. Also "When Harry Met Sally" and "Sleepless in Seattle". What about you? I'm supposed to speak at a church on New Years Eve, and thought I'd show some good movie clips. Happy Holidays brenton
