How many Linux users are out there? I've just ordered parts for a new computer and am thinking of making it into a home theatre machine using MythTV on Ubuntu, or maybe just KnoppMyth. Never really used Linux before... A little Unix but not much. Know of any good sites to help me understand...

MMMMmmmmm.... Cyclo.. :drool: Can't wait to try it out, Topoftheline got it to me in time to use it for my spring cleanup of the Subaru this weekend. Showed up a little swirled though, may have to break out the metal polish before I get to use it :o I'm a little excited, and I knew you...

Hey guys, I picked up my brother in laws car the other day to give it a good polish before they sell it. The car is a 1997 Saturn, with lots of plastic body panels. After wash and clay (took way too long.... so much contamination), its was time to find out what was going to the polish of...

I'm looking for a product that can be sprayed all over the vehicle *before* the wash process that will break down the existing wax/sealant layers enough that the ensuing wash will remove the LSP. Since I have no experience with these types of products I thought I'd ask a few questions here...

For those of you that use Bac-Out by BioKleen, for interior cleaning, do you dilute it? There is a little icon on the front claiming that it is a concentrate but nowhere on the label do they give recommendations as to a proper dilution. 3:1? 10:1? 1:1?:nixweiss I dunno, I'm sure I can try a few...

1998 Honda Civic EX, Black. I dunno where this thing was parked, but the paint is hammered. You can see (obviously) the section that was polished. I used OHC on a white pad at about 1500 rpm. Anyway, I told him we'd go over the roof completely next week when my Hi-Temp extreme cut...

Over the last month or so, I've accumulated too many polishes! Thought it would be nice if the veterans out there left this deal to a n00bie to help him/her get started. Time to clear up some space on the shelf, so here is what the package includes: 1 - PB SSR1 2/3 full 2 - PB SSR2.5...

I've got a couple questions for the carpet cleaning gurus in the forum. I recently purchased a small Aztec HWE and currently am not quite sure what to think of it. Reading through the instruction booklet I notice that more than once they refer to the tank that holds the clean heated water as...

I've got a question for all those out there who have experimented with or consistently use FK1 waxes. Specifically regarding the 1000P and Pink waxes, as I just recently acquired a tin of each. I've read in a few places that the Finish Kare waxes can be layered after only a short curing time...

I have a 16.9 oz bottle of Klasse SG that is 90% full, I also have a 16 oz, 90% full bottle of Meguiars #20 Polymer Sealant. I have entirely too much in the way of sealants and am looking to try out some different products. I am looking for P21s Optimum Spray wax Anything Werkstatt...

So, I've done my fair share of poking around inside the computer. Even built a couple. However, on my current PC the fan on the power supply is going out (horribly noisy all the time) and needs to be replaced. As I've never opened up a power supply, I don't know if it can be replaced or even if...

So, at a local overstock/outlet shop (sorta like Big Lots) I saw three big 64 oz jugs of Meguiars #21 Synthetic Sealant, price was listed at $34.95 plus 50% off and I figured at that price I could give it a shot (same as a small bottle at the parts store, if you can find it), so I grabbed a...

I'm soliciting opinions here. I'm thinking of pulling my headlights apart and removing the triangular orange plastic piece. I'd be keeping the reflector on the outer edge, only removing the center orange and replacing the bulb with an amber one to keep everything legal. I don't want to...

Anyone have any experience with both Meg's #66 and Hi-Temps "Fine Finish"? Are they comparable? I've never used either, but was thinking about picking up a good "one step" product that is a little stronger than the ColorX I've been using. Who has opinions/suggestions on these? I've read a bit...

So as the photos below show, I've got a car that really needs some help. These pics are all before wash, not that it helped much, all those water spots were etched in. This is my sisters car, and I'm cleaning it up for her. I'd like to get some of the swirls out, but I realize this car is...

Apparantly, I've begun a rather informal collection of paste waxes. Specifically wax that comes from the factory shipped in a metal tin of some sort. So far I've got just a few: Collinite 476s NXT Tech Paste Meguiars Cleaner Wax (red tin) Megs #16 x 6 What am I missing? Remember the rules...

Somewhat dubious title I know, but I've been curious about water filtration systems and was wondering about the particle size that most will filter out. Anyone out there own a CRspotless, or any filter (that seems to work well) know what it will filter down to? 1 micron, 5 microns, 15 microns...

I have two rather large splits running in either direction across the length of my windshield. My families experience with Subaru glass has always been that when replaced with factory glass another split usually occurs within six months, without fail. At this point I throw myself on the mercy of...

After discovering this wonderful site, and starting my collection of products, I purchased a good quality sheepskin washmit. I have discovered that I really don't like washmits at all, they seem awkward. I've read about more than a few people who us MF towels when doing a no-rinse wash such as...

1 Gallon of #34 - $10 x 3 64 Oz of NXT Wash - $3.60 22 x 30 WW Drying towel - $4.98 x 3 $48.54 Total!! :hifive: Now..... what am I going to do with 3 gallons of #34? :help: - Andrew
