    Damn Ric, that Infinity looks very nice (minus the mismatched wheels of course). The interior looks hardly used now.

    Also, your multi color caddy was clean. That hood indeed looks great, always loved the green ones.

    Funny you mention Reset, I decided to use some again earlier in the week. I love this soap, so much so that I went and ordered some more right then and there!

    I use it in my cannon and it produces beautifully thick foam. It's probably one of the slickest soaps I have used and the scent is divine. You will love it!

    Oh alright, you've convinced me. I just used the last of my Bowden's Snow Job, I was wondering what to get next.

    A bit of a rejig of the chemical cabinet today.

    Some chemicals seem to pressurize as the weather warms causing them to weep from the sprayer heads, CarPro Reload and NV Boost being the main offenders. Both of these have done this from their original bottles and sprayers. As a result some damage has occurred to my selves, a microfibre cloth being a temporary solution to prevent any further decay.



    While it looks like this would simply wipe off, the chemical has etched through the finish.



    A trip to the hardware store later, I stripped the shelves and cut some of this rubber matting to line each of the chemical selves.





    Seeing how many products I have layed out like this is a bit embarrassing.







    All CAREFULLY lined up and back to spec!



    While protecting the metal from any further damage, the matting also has anti-slip properties, allowing the bottles to sit better on the shelf and prevent them from sliding around as I shuffle through what I want.

    Don't rule out NV Snow either. That is probably my favorite soap as it is just so easy to work and almost as slick as Reset. Much cheaper too. PM me if you want to know where to get it.

    All good, I think I know where you mean. I called in when I was in Melbourne a few years ago, they even gave me a free bottle of something new they just started selling. I later discovered it was selling for $50 a bottle. Why I still buy from them.
