    Re: Tunnel wash rant - Free speech thread

    The problem is finding a touchless wash, around here anyway. I managed to get my new buggy through it's first "winter" with only rinseless washes. Then last week it was at the dealer for service,...

    Re: Rinseless Washes - 2022

    Another New Improved - how does one ensure you get the latest? Anyone remember when the local car dealers soaped their windows in September?

    Re: Current Best Hose Nozzle of Choice

    Nozzles are one of those things of which I've never found the perfect one, akin to wives. Not that I haven't had a ton of them. The shutoff is the gripe I have with a Firehose style, I'd rather...

    Re: EGO 580 BLOWER

    I took a look at the EGO not so long ago. The problem for me is all the extra weight associated with that format battery compared to the 20V DeWalt blower .. I don't use them for vehicles daily, but...
  5. Re: What makes Winter Road Film so Tenacious

    I believe, without any scientific basis whatever, that the beet juice makes it stick worse (like it does on the roads). I started driving in old Clevetown back before anybody invented the liquid...

    My first Stang that I actually owned was a 69 with a 302 (before there were liters)

    Re: Cleaning engine bay?

    How old is it actually? That 5.0 L was likely built at Ford's Cleveland Engine Plant Number One, back when I labored there ..

    Re: EGO LB-765 Blower

    Thanks for the comparisons - I hadn't realized that my DeWalt was that close to the old gasser in "blowing". I picked that up as I already had started the 20V battery family, but tried an EGO...
  9. Re: I've come to realize.......Winter Washing

    Back home I knew 3 or 4 coin operated wash places .. I've only seen one here in the Motown & the City knocked it down to park snowplows ..

    I have one carwash coupon left ... might have to use it....

    Re: EGO LB-765 Blower

    They seem heavy for a one car guy - I presently use a 25 year old Stihl & a 3 yo DeWalt 20V. Anyone use these for home use? Yeah. I know about tradeoffs, but EGO seems on the clumsy side. Why...
  11. Re: 1993 Ford Mustang Reef Blue paint correction complete

    Great work - I dimly recall having a rag top in that color - white leather seats with the blue that a son drove for homecoming (team colors)
  12. Re: Drive it or preserve it? Your thoughts on rare vehicle preservation.

    Nice read to this point. One of the classic forum questions, cars, guns, razors .. me I use them. I don't think unless you have film of you outside the factory door getting into it, and from then...

    Re: AIRMOTO Tire compressor.

    The size is a positive - easy to tuck in the spare tire compartment. I am a bit leery of USB powered stuff though. I also note that the fill hose is of a similar small stature. Hoping someone can...

    Re: That time of year in PA

    I've used the expensive pump protectant/anti-freeze from Briggs & Stratton for some time. Every year when I do it I wonder to myself if it isn't just snake oil. If you drained the pw in the fall...

    Re: That time of year in PA

    Glad you guys have made me think of moving stuff in. My garage is attached but unheated, so I get a little bit of time, but need to get the liquids and all rechargeable batteries in to the spare...

    That would be useful - all I find is this - for regular vacs
  17. Re: Just tried Griot’s Garage Ceramic Tire Dressing

    I had to try some too - I put 4 different tire treatments on after scrubbing new tires on June 17. At this point in time the Griot's Ceramic looks the best, followed pretty closely by my old standby...

    Re: Do you still use a sealant?

    I'll confess to being uninformed, though I am learning things here all the time. Is the Griot's 3 In 1 Ceramic considered a sealant then? Since it replaced their Poly Wax I am guessing so, in which...
  19. Griot's Iron Remover Not Working After a Year?

  21. Re: Reminder: Mower/small engine winter storage

    I have not ever drained any of the small engined yard tools in my life. And they have lasted - the present lawnmower is 13 years old, replacing it's predecessor which went 25. The blower & trimmer...

    +1 - The Griot's 55504 at 28x20 I find works perfectly on a small suv - enough to dry completely without the dragging of the big towels. Just ordered a backup -

    Re: buy new, used, or lease a car?

    I have had a lot of cars - used mostly at first, a few new ones, but got spoiled at work when I was able to order a new car every year if not sooner. In retirement I still lease them, but may change...
