When I'm done, I tell the owner 2 things happened,
1: The job was done right the first time.
2: The job wasn't done wrong.
Even though that's basically saying the same thing it is 2 things and no car owner likes it when the job is done wrong. I have an article on that too...
It takes just as long to do it wrong...

Yes. Gas pedal and brakes. Tried driving a stick shift one time on an empty road in the country and it simply doesn't work. I did put a hand brake on the floor shifter of a 1965 MG Midget, which operated the clutch and was able to drive this car but it took the HAND GRIP of HULK to pull the hand in. I think it was a Schwinn Bicycle Hand Brake I used. Was still kind of scary to drive.

Aaryn NZ.
Most glass cleaners are about 10% alcohol - so I get some "different" type of cleaning versus a soap type cleaning. Just different. Also convenient.
I have a running joke here at Autogeek, when someone asks me,
What's the best BLANK?
I say, whichever is closest to my hand.
