    My completed garage with pics

    I built my own 3 car detached garage with loft about a year ago by myself, it took me a little over a year to complete. I did all the work myself except the concrete, brickwork, roofing shingles and the gutters. I also only fell off the roof once....really.

    Harbor Freight Orders

    Why does it take Harbor Freight soooo long to ship orders? This is the second time I've ordered from them and the first order took over three weeks to get. I'm still waiting for my second order and it is over two weeks already. :nixweiss

    Porter Cable on shower doors?

    I want to detail my shower door and shower with my PC but I'm looking for suggestions as to what to use. I tried some AIO with a yellow pad and it helped a little but didn't really get all the deposits and soap scum out even after a couple of applications. What else should I try?

    Zaino Question

    I won some Z-2 Pro, Z-1 Polish Lok, Z-7 Car Wash and Z-6 Gloss Enhancer at an Auto show last week. However, there wasn't any ZFX in the package. Can I use the Z-2 Pro without the ZFX Additive? I've never used Zaino before and would like to try it out.

    Perfect-It 3000?

    Has anyone used the new 3M product ...Perfect-It 3000? It's supposed to be a replacement for Perfect-It III - to comply with the V.O.C. regulations. The Menzerna IP that I used previously didn't quite do the job to remove some nasty etching and stains from my paintjob so I'm going to try this...

    Waaay beyond repair!

    I purchased this '94 Caravan back in '99 and the only problem that I've had with it has been the transmission. It's been rebuilt for the second time a couple of years ago and hopefully for the last time. It's really very reliable now. It's kind of the workhorse in the family. :D Unfortunately...

    OK, my work truck is a '99 and I think that I may have waxed it once or twice since I bought it "new" in Jan of '99. :eek: Since it's just a work van, I decided to use a can ot Turtle wax that I had in my garage. It cleaned up a lot of the tar and stains on the paint, and it actually looks...
