For those of you old enough to remember these (or if you are in the window/glass business): I saw that for a limited time the Bon Ami company has released a limited run of 125th anniversary polishing cakes. From my own experience, these things can last a loooong time. Plus, being in cake...

An idea I had a while ago was to mix some dish soap and water in a spray bottle and have it by the kitchen sink. When cleaning only one dish/glass, rather than try to drip a little soap on the couple items or run enough water to fill the sink enough to wash the dishes "normally" You can just...

I can see the difference in "fading" between "New posts" and "No new posts" icons, but I really can't see a difference between the "No new posts" and "You have posted in this thread" icons. Does it show up differently in other browsers? (IE, for example?) If they are all blue, I suggest...

If it's not too much trouble, a different color for the mods/admin names would be helpful. The white seems to blend into the background too much to be very legible (IMHO).

Is this move of the PB forum permanent? Is it going to stay a separate grouping or will it be merged into the rest of the sub-forum at some time?

Jack LaLanne has died, apparently of Pneumonia. He was 96. :(

Tom Bosley has died. 83 years old.

Buzz Log: Bang! Pow! '60s-Style Batmobile Replicas for Sale

So, I was recently perusing eBay and noticed that the new iPad is listed quite frequently there. All "New in Box" and such. What I don't get is, there are listings for $800-$1,000+ (plus huge shipping fees) for basic 16G WiFi models that have a MSRP of $499 with free shipping direct from Apple...

:hmmm::huh: Who'da thunk it?

So, I just got this e-mail from David B. Apparently he's starting an automotive blog. " In March I will be announcing a brand new web site that will rock the automotive world." Apparently you can go to www.Twitter.com/Guide2Detailing to follow his progress. I'm sure most of you would...

I recently found out that some of the Autoglym range will be sold at mass merchandisers in North America this year. Wal-Mart (USA) and Canadian Tire (CAN). Stuff sold will be SRP, shampoo, Rapid Detailer and HD wax (among others). HD wax is $35 @ WM (currently available) and $49.99 @ CT...

A friend of mine is getting a laptop and is planning on using it just at wifi zones, so he won't have a "real" e-mail account. What's the "best" online account to get? Gmail? HotMail? Yahoo? Other? :hmmm: It should be easy to log into, easy to use (first time using a computer, from what I...

Saab History Looks like it's official. Spyker is Buying them.

So... I recently had the "opportunity" to remove dried paint from carpet. (Don't know if it was latex or alkyd). I used a product called "Winning Colours Paint and Stain Remover." (Yes, there is supposed to be a "u" in "Colours.") Made in Canada as well as the USA. Smells like bananas...

I've read on some forums that some people that either buy a car from a warmer climate or are living in an area that doesn't typically get too cold but were hit with a prolonged cold snap are finding their WW fluid frozen. Most likely from using a summer bug wash. I thought it may be appropriate...

I recently thought about how (years ago) Glass Wax (or for those of you a wee bit older-Bon Ami Glass Gloss) was used with stencils to make pictures on the windows. You wiped the stuff on over a stencil and the resulting haze left a picture, the way the "spray snow" stuff is used today. Glass...

I saw recently in the Zeller's flyer that they have a waterless wash and wax called "Rejuvenate Auto." Trigger spray bottle and a microfibre mitt and a MF cloth. $20. Made in the USA by "For Life Products" in Florida. Has petroleum distillates (probably for the "wax"). They also had an...

I noticed a little while ago that the rep squares or whatever they were called have gone away. Did they cause issues or just not used enough? Or something else? Just wondering. (I lost only 1 rep, so it's not a big deal to me.)

My car was heavily dimpled by a passing hail storm. :cry: Gonna be a write off due to its age. :wall :rant:
