Eh. If it's any consolation to anyone, I really don't think you can get a decent wheel cleaner off the shelf. In order to make the product safe to use, the capabilities have to be compromised too much. Here is the wheel before. Notice, it's not really very dirty. Here is after one...

I sent a webmail query to KIT about a month or so ago, and got no reply and chalked it up to "no one cares". Today I got a return email from Mark Sterwald, saying that he is sending a box of samples. Normally this wouldn't mean a whole lot to anyone, but over the last two years the quality...

Man, it's tough. I don't usually do pictures, but this one came out nicely, and shows a characteristic of a particular product that IMO is noteworthy. The car isn't just white; it's that pearl mica white. I spent most of the day going over the Sube. This was one of those jobs where I really...

$122.50 plus $15 shipping! I figured that the weight of the Makita was about a pound more than the Metabo, but still two pounds less than the DeWalt or the Milwaukee, and about the same as the Hitachi. The extra pound wasn't worth $100. The Makita is a really well regarded tool, and the...

Including the longest man-made spark, the world's largest & second largest Jacob's Ladder, and more. Check out the picture of the huge positive lightning bolt, toward the end of the page. http://205.243.100.155/frames/longarc.htm#Longspark

The website has almost NO useful information. I clicked on the bottom left where it says how the product is non-toxic and safe, and all that's there is a nurse saying that "it's non-toxic and safe." Otherwise, nothing. edit to insert link: http://www.advanage.com

can be found here: http://www.baseball-almanac.com If it's not there yet, it will be; it's a work in progress. I absolutely am in love with this site. Is there a game that will always stay in your memory? I remember a game from 1974. I'd cut classes and hitchhiked with a friend to Washington...

I don't know the answer, and it didn't google. No prizes, no points, just the satisfaction of knowing the answer. What player holds the record for the most total offense generated in a post-season series? Total offense is net bases advanced, calculated as follows: total bases from balls...

I'm starting to think so. When I drop a microfiber towel it almost always picks up not just dust and dirt, but also vegetable matter; pieces of leaves and slivers of wood. The dust and dirt wash out in the washer, but the leaf pieces stick to the towels and generally pollute the whole batch...

First, I have to say that I have the older polishes; I got them about 2 weeks before the new versions came out. My Miata has really taken a beating this summer, going from a garage-kept hundred or so miles a week to an outside 24/7 400 miles a week. That has meant an increase in the number...

Man, it's been hot. And humid. And I'm probably not in the worst of it, either. It's been over 90* something like 26 times this year here in NEPA. We've set a record number of heat records. It was 96* today; it was 79* at 8AM. I know you FL guys, that's normal, but you are setting records down...

DavidB sent me a set of pads to try, and I finally got the opportunity to try them. I've been involved in a home remodeling project and haven't had the time or the garage space. But today I saw them... SWIRLS! On the hood of my new Subaru! (In all fairness it took 6 months and 6000 miles to get...

I haven't broken out the Souv for a long time; I really enjoy the look and ease of use of Meguiar's products. But it's been the topic of a number of threads lately, so I decided to give it a go, over top of a 6 week old application of #21. The #21 was beading as if I had just applied it...

No major injuries, thank goodness (guy in the Cobra broken arm). That's a real factory Cobra, (was) worth over $1,000,000. http://www.pbase.com/atrltd/bric2005 Mayor of Dogtown: Today, I was with Windycity at Road America and decided to work the corners. 3 hours in. they had a smash up...

I got the offer wrong. Sorry, guys. But at least I got three nice towels, even if the price was $5 more than I thought I would be paying. Tom

$5 rebate if you buy any three Gold Class products. So, pick up 3 Supreme Shine microfibers at $4 each and cash the rebate in, and you get 3x one heck of a great towel for $2.33 each. These towels are very large and are really a top notch mf towel. But you could use the coupon for one of...

In today's Parade magazine, a reader asks about Paris and Nicky Hilton's hair, how one is blonde and the other is brunette. The response was that both are blonde, but Nicky's "...going dark was tricky, because the color often looks flat. Nicky's colorist, Jeff Johns does her hair with a two step...

I'd love to do either; I haven't been autocrossing for over a year, but Mary Joan's car is looking pretty bad these days.... Tom

I got a free set from a vendor trying to get us to sell paint sealant. I won't sell the paint sealant, but I'll take the free stuff. Is it any good? Tom

It has to do with the way my driving habits have changed. The Miata used to be the fun weekend car, and the "other" car was the go-to-work car. But my new job is 39 miles away, 78 miles round trip each day, and the sedan is a leased vehicle. Even at the 15k a year that my lease is, I'd be in...
