Re: New Word of the Day

Polymer: ~Wikipedia

A large molecule composed of repeating structural units. These sub-units are typically connected by covalent chemical bonds. Although the term polymer is sometimes taken to refer to plastics, it actually encompasses a large class of compounds comprising both natural and synthetic materials with a wide variety of properties.

I have no knowledge in the physical or natural sciences.
This is only a postulation from my interpretation of the Opti-Coat 2.0 not so permanent...& the To Re-Opti Coat or Not... Input Wanted! threads.

Also, I'm not aware if the 'polymers' in OC 2.0 are 'plastic' or silicon, or whatever.

Several posters stated that OC 2.0 was applied in accordance to directions.
Also stated that the coating had 'disappeared'.

Posters and product rep leaning towards "user error", as contaminates left behind from excessive methods used to achieve perfection...KISS Method suggested.

My postulate:

Contamination left behind on the perfected clear coat paint caused the embrittlement of the polymers' covalent chemical bonding. Thus leading to early deterioration of the product.

My two cents...and attempt at the NWoD.

Perseverance: steady persistance in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.

The lack of tools and product did not discourage the newb detailer, and due to his tenacity and perseverance, he is poised to become a formidable force in his market.

According to this thread:

To Re-Opti Coat or Not... Input Wanted!

AGO forum member...swanicyouth...is the embodiment of perserverance in the selection of an LSP.

[NOTE: More on "plastic embrittlement" to follow.]

Re: New Word of the Day

*Impetuous:

1. acting impulsively: acting on the spur of the moment, without considering the consequences.

2. done on impulse: done without thought as a reaction to an emotion or impulse.


*Remiss: negligent in the performance of work or duty: careless.

* Heedless, oblivious, nonchalant, slipshod, lackadaisical.


Pick one...fill in the blank.



The _______ detailer produces horrific results.


Happy detailing...

How about a: "run-on-word" (if there is that sorta thing)?!?

The: remissness-of-"good product stewardship"-from-an-impetuosity-inclined-detailer produces horrific results.

Good posting, even though I had to bing 'stewardship'.

Re: New Word of the Day

A "new word of the day" for 08.05.2012:

Adiabatic

Definition:
1. Occurring without loss or gain of heat
2. Involving a transfer of heat


-It is said that one of the characteristics of 'Coatings-LSPs' is their ability
to cross-link to form an inpenetrable matrix---a shield, if you will---against contaminates.
(And, if formulated to do so...perhaps absorb/reflect UV-rays.)

-I'm just curious to what happens to the external thermal-heat that bears down
upon a 'Coating-LSP', from sources such as emitted by the Sun...
as well as any internal thermal-heat build-up from a vehicle's panels.

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________

-In other words: Does a 'Coating-LSP' form an "adiabatic-boundary" ?
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________



__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________


Thoughts anyone? Thanks...



Bob

I tried to put my thoughts into words...wound up a rambling mess.

Re: New Word of the Day

Is it ambiguous, or is it nebulous?

am·big·u·ous/amˈbigyo͞oəs/
Adjective:

(of language) Open to more than one interpretation; having a double meaning.
Unclear or inexact because a choice between alternatives has not been made.

Synonyms:
equivocal - vague - uncertain - doubtful - obscure


He wants to see what they would say so he asks them both the same ambiguous question.


neb·u·lous/ˈnebyələs/
Adjective:

In the form of a cloud or haze; hazy.
(of an idea) Unclear, vague, or ill-defined.

Synonyms:
vague - hazy - misty - dim - foggy - obscure - cloudy


He asked them both the same question, but he was purposely nebulous in his wording as he was interested in how each man would reply.
