    303 not at CT any more...where to get?

    LOTS of small pitting on my windshield

    My windshield always looks like it has a layer of dust on it. I spent some significant time with chrome polish this weekend and wasn't able to make a difference at all. Is there anything I can do to minimize the look of these pits? They drive me nuts when I'm driving. Thanks for any...

    Anyone tried the Simoniz Heavy Duty 16 piece Vacuum Kit?

    I'm wondering if it will have adequate power...I've been reading about the Metro Vac n Blow but have no idea if it's possible to get in Canada. The Simoniz is $100 at CT. No mention of inches of waterlift. It is a 3 peak hp unit.
