Acronym Decoder - UPDATED 12/02/10

Thanks PurpleWidow - others had suggested acronym's for business names/distributors and their web-sites - but in the theme of keeping this a list of "products", and not promote companies "directly" (viral marketing) I've decided not to post them. AutoGeek, DetailersDomain, Autopia/Sonus, etc, etc, can all do their own marketing and this helpful list won't get slammed/banned for being a shill.

Hope you understand.
 
Here's one that had me scratching my head today for a little while:



TBM = two-bucket-method (wash)



It was pretty obvious once I figured it out, but there for a while I thought it was a product or wash tool.
 
Yeah - still kickin' around. Hope you're keeping everyone on track Accumulator!

As much as I like the site and the people on it, life's little details had a turn for me. That with other ambitions, have taken so much of my time.



I miss your precise "attention to details" and no bulls4*t approach to doing things right.



You'll see me on occasion.



Regards,



Gregory
 
The merits of PLD as opposed to separate logic chips will depend on whether you are in a development or a production environment. The pros and cons for a development environment are summarised below.



Advantages of PLD: once programmed, you have a compact, low-power solution that is close to what you will eventually use in production.
 
All right, I've looked through this whole thread--all pages--and looked through the first few dozen definitions on AcronymFinder.com, but still can't find what "ETR" means.



As in: "...many vehicle manufacturers either require or recommend the ETR for warranty repairs...." (from 'Black Plastic Trim Question' - 07/09/11)
 
Nice list! It's becoming like Frankenstein's monster.

Mtn, welcome aboard!

The correct abbreviation would be FK 1000p which, in the human language, yields Finish Kare 1000p (paste version).
 
The last entry in this post is from June 04, 2015. Does anybody want to revise or add to this list???
There have been a plethora of new car-care chemical companies and chemical lines to existing companies since the inception of this list on 2010

PA~ Polish Angel
PBL~ Pinnacle Black Label (not Pabst Blue Ribbon beer!)
MMBR~ Meguiar's Mirror Bright Retro
TRC~ The Rag Company (for microfiber cloths & towels)
SS~ Supply Shine
AmGl- Americana Global (Barry Theal's company)

There's probably (a lot) that others can think of if you want to add to this list. Granted, "updating" this list is more work than I care to take on and I think (know) the administrators have better things to do within this forum as well.
