Chilly is in Alaska.

But to Chilly's point, the Bilt Hamber USA store will be run by OG, so will have the same shipping Chilly is complaining about.

To your point, this kind of arrangement is the same (unless I'm...

Oh come on, Chilly, you're sharp as a tack

Maybe I have it backwards. Maybe they got screwed up because I used a metric socket on them when they were an imperial size, or vice-versa. I think I still have some spare lugs for that car...

My recollection was that it was a metric size with the stainless was on the outside, and then imperial after it came off, at least on the Chevy I had.

That's weird. Seems like the kind of thing that would go right in the bin once a dealer or tire shop worked on it. Just like every person I've ever talked to that had an exhaust heat shield problem...

Chilly--wheels look good, mountains look good, Perl looks really good. Someday I have to try my little sample bottle.

That's what I do during rotation, of course my being so "OCD" about it always turns a simple rotation into a huge project, I used to just dress the inside of the tires, now I do a coating. And of...

You're a miracle worker with that stuff!

Thanks for posting that! I have one of those Milwaukee "Dremels" and those look like they will come in handy for wheels, I'm going to get some.

I'm not familiar with that Gyeon product, but the old standby used to be diluted Woolite. Have you tried just going over it with a (water) damp MF after using the Gyeon? If the slickness goes away...

How's the quality on that, as good as a Wheel Woolie? Is that a current product? I didn't even realize Meg's was "making" something like that. I'm still using my Meg's wheel brushes circa 2004 or...

Ah, a full-bird colonel, no wonder she's "the boss". Thanks for the education.

Oh, I keep forgetting you went up there in the service. Air Force?

That sounds like you've driven from Alaska to the lower 48--you Alaskans are a hardy bunch, the one time I drove from NJ to FL and back I said I'd never do that again, and that was only 1000 or 1200...

Since I was just watching Lost in Translation over the weekend...that French description sure seems to say a lot more than the English...

Disingenuous is the middle name of wheel cleaner marketing. The worst was the ABF wheel cleaners, which claimed to be "non-HF" because Ammonium Bi-Fluoride is a salt...which when mixed with...

Yeah, that--$16 at Home Depot. I find they tend to crack, which is why I was looking for a replacement.

Ha, I was looking at Harbor Freight website to see if they had a wet vac squeegee nozzle since last time I went to Home Depot I was shocked by the Rigid price, and in my search results was a knockoff...

Well, it's for an "N" model, which is in some very limited quantity now, and 641 HP.



I think we're in agreement here, I had just given it a quick look initially and since there were a lot of...

I was just trying to see a silver lining in this if it was a dealer who would send you his bad cars...I guess that's kind of a mixed blessing.

I guess I skimmed over that, I didn't get that "nitro and caps" was what you note, I thought it was some other "mod con" that I was unfamiliar with. That and the wheel locks are pretty bad, as you...

Oh, this was from a used-car dealer?

Yeah, I don't know what the "limited quantity" is that's coming to the US, but I guess this is to be expected, just like the dealers used to mark up the Indy pace-car replicas. That protection...

Don't apologize. As an old boss of mine used to say "the only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked". That's what these forums are here for.
