I have some really bad trim (PB trim restore) any ideas???
Yeah..this Wheel gel looks perfect for my brake dust problem..

GOT PREP?
Nice look'n order Jeff. I should get my gallon of S&W from Dwayne today. You will love the PB's stuff.

Good luck with the stash Jeff! let me know how the Platinum wheel gel works for ya. Is that gel safe for all wheels....coated, non-coated, polished aluminum, brushed aluminum, etc?
As for the trim....yea, the Trim Restorer works very well. I think Steve said Dwayne would be getting it in a week or so.

Here it is ...
"Platinum's surfactant technology makes it the ideal wheel cleaner to use on chrome, polished aluminum, coated aluminum and clearcoated alloy wheels.

SURFACTANT......woooooooooo...wheres my dictionary!!!

:Surfactant
Surfactant is a complex substance containing phospholipids and a number of apoproteins. This essential fluid is produced by the Type II alveolar cells, and lines the alveoli and smallest bronchioles. Surfactant reduces surface tension throughout the lung, thereby contributing to its general compliance. It is also important because it stabilizes the alveoli. LaplaceÕs Law tells us that the pressure within a spherical structure with surface tension, such as the alveolus, is inversely proportional to the radius of the sphere (P=4T/r for a sphere with two liquid-gas interfaces, like a soap bubble, and P=2T/r for a sphere with one liquid-gas interface, like an alveolus: P=pressure, T=surface tension, and r=radius). That is, at a constant surface tension, small alveoli will generate bigger pressures within them than will large alveoli. Smaller alveoli would therefore be expected to empty into larger alveoli as lung volume decreases. This does not occur, however, because surfactant differentiallyreduces surface tension, more at lower volumes and less at higher volumes, leading to alveolar stability and reducing the likelihood of alveolar collapse.
Surfactant is formed relatively late in fetal life; thus premature infants born without adequate amounts experience respiratory distress and may die.

Hey Jeff,
I'll save ya a trip.
A surfactant is a chemical that lowers the surface tension of water.
Their job is to lower the surface tension of water to allow non water soluble substances to become more water soluble (long explaination on how this happens). They sort of bridge the gap. A good example is plain old soap. However with hard water (water containing Calcium and Magnesium salts) the soap would precipitate or become insoluble and stick to things. This is known as soap scum or bathtub ring. Thus synthetic surfactants were sought out that did not form scum when they encountered hard water. These special surfactants are called: Detergents.
Emulsifiers are similar to surfactants in purpose but are not the same thing. Their job is to make water soluble and water insoluble solutions mix together into a substance called an emulsion. For example Italian dressing is vinegar (water soluble) and olive oil (non water soluble). If you shake the crap out of it you will suspend tiny oil droplets in the water but they will not mix, they re-separate. Now if you add an egg (great emulsifier) and you mix they will form an emulsion that won't come back apart. A great example is mayonnaise.
Chelators are chemicals that bind and effectively remove metal ions from solutions. In particular we want to reduce Calcium, Iron, and Magnesium the so called "heavy metals" because they form soap scum and hard water spots (the water dries leaving heavy metal salts that are super slow to redissolve). Examples are EDTA, succimer, activated charcoal (aka carbon filters), and the active ingredient in Jet-Dry.
Sorry, that was a bit geeky but we hear these words thrown around ALL THE TIME as sales points to great new products. Thought you should know just what the heck they are.
Feel free to post or email if you have further questions.

Oh man, never mind. I guess you beat me to it.
Yes, sphingomyelin in the lungs is one type of surfactant and it keeps you alive as you found out. Not to worry though, mothers going into labor prematurely can be given a medicine that stimulates fetal surfactant production and most do just fine! LOL

Hey rhillstr.....man, I need a beer after reading your post! If I'd have listened in high school chemistry class instead of try to convince Theresa to go "hang out" with me after school I may actually have learned something there

Excellent posts Jeff and rhillstr.

What do you guys use to apply and spread 303 I tried paper towels but they dont seem to work very well.

WHOAH! Party foul!
MF towels of course
Steve sells MF mitts that are awesome for spreading dressings too. You can reach up between the windshield real well without getting that crap on the glass.
