I use my da on windshields often. Use whatever cutting compound I have on hand. Does a decent job cleaning it up and making wipers work properly again.

I have owned Kawasaki jet skis for decades. What a horrible location for the oil filter. I feel for you…. Agree, should be silicone.

I have an older transformer based charger and some new smart chargers. I would not leave my old school charger unattended for much time, but when I just want to charge a battery, I always pull out the old one. If I am looking to maintain a battery, I let the smart charger do its thing.

61, back surgery for disks several years ago. Still do all I can, once I stop I know I won’t start again. Play pickleball a few times a week, still drop trees, help friends with projects, maintain my boat, etc. Yesterday was tire rotation and oil change on my son’s Sentra. Did I mention I hate...

It is well regarded in the large 4 stroke marine crowd. I use it regularly in my supercharged outboard.

I did my truck with Jescar ultra lock. It looked terrific and felt slick. However, after 1 drive in the rain, the sides of the truck had lost maybe 50% of the hydrophobic quality. That was disappointing. The shine is great, but I question the durability. Most other products I use don’t diminish...

I had them on our Mercedes GLC. They were firm, but not harsh. The steering was a little less precise that the OEM Michelin tires, but not drastically. I had 32,000 miles on them when we traded the car, and they still had decent life, but not likely to make it last 50,000 miles. They were good...

I have a long term rental resulting from an uninsured driver broadsiding my new Mercedes with 400 miles on it. That’s another story…. So we have a Genesis G70 sedan. It is their standard model, not the top of line sport version. It appears to be a low $50k car. Let’s start with the good. The...

12 months ago I was sitting at a train crossing, in park, waiting for the long train to go by. I look up at my rearview mirror and see a car coming. There is a 1/2 mile flat and straight road leading up to where I was stopped. The car never stopped and rear ended me. The driver admitted his...

Agree with others. Sometimes, with women, the disagreement or argument is not about the topic at hand, that is just the catalyst for the emotion and outbreak. Time to be introspective and try to understand what is really going on. My wife is never really mad at me that I left the cap open on the...

At that price, probably worth it for the use you described.

The rain x is not even close to SnS. Less than 4 month longevity compared to 8+ months. Never heard of the second one.

Penn grade oils are a great choice for that engine. Old school formulation, high zddp, blended for that application specifically. They used to be produced in Bradford Pa at the American Refining plant and I did tons of work there and had a chance to speak with them at length. As long as the new...

Great buy. Not available near me.

I had that exact van as a rental for 2 weeks. It is a very capable people and thing hauler. The rear seats fold flat easily. I did not try folding the mid seats. The technology was a little flaky on occasion and the screens for hvac etc were not intuitive at all. It had the full glass roof which...
