Can someone explain the difference between these two types of cleaners? I am looking to buy Megs Body Solvent or Megs super degreaser - I would love it if someone can explain the difference both on the molecular make-up as well as the practical differences. The body solvent is only a...

Ok so I'm all for the home brewed recipes for problem solving -but keeping my LC pads clean was driving me nuts- I've read a 100 threads and tried everything (except throw them in the ol Kenmore washer, which I won't do) Anyway, my biggest complaint is that I could never get the original...

VW and Porsche merging ?! Really?! Please... I always like that Porsche was a privately owned operation but this is scary. Now I'm having visions (or nightmares) the same shifter on the Jetta will be used in a 911. Looks like I'll be sticking to my BMW. PS the new VW all maintenance...

A few people have commented on how well the Biokleen traffic lane works - is this in reference to being diluted in a bottle or added to an extractor- Biokleen Fiber glow? and finally, How well does the Biokleen All purpose cleaner work? Can it replace my meg's APC and the million uses...
