I have an intermittent head gasket failure on a 2005 Legacy GT Wagon. Sometimes it heats up, sometimes it doesn't--it never gets into the red on the temp gauge, but is right under it when it heats up. Shop that I trust was able to replicate the problem (after 3 tries). 128,000 miles. Estimate...

Exactly this. It seems that in Indycar and NASCAR, they want to have a celeb for Grand Marshall, pace car, flagman, etc.--where frequently none of the people selected have even anything tangentially related to racing. Do you think some hollywood type is really a NASCAR fan? And the pace car...

Seriously, this will solve your problem https://www.valugard.net/store/p-33-odor-terminator.aspx

stinkwise, you might get a UV light and shine in the carpet to see the urine spots when you run a carpet cleaner. Consider Nature's Miracle to dissolve some of that urine smell. Also, the best total odor eliminator i've found is Valugard Odor Terminator. I believe it's only available from Valugard.

used the search and was surprised in 171 pages of threads, the word "ultrasonic" didn't return a result. Anyway--anyone out there using an ultrasonic cleaner for gun parts cleaning? Seems like folks that do it, love it. I know they can damage painted finishes, and you don't clean entire guns in...

Well, factors aligned against me and I missed the Wanenmacher show. I will do my darndest to get there in the fall. I did hit the NRA annual meeting. It was great. I don't know if it would be enjoyable every year, but it sure was fun the first time. The great part about it is, say, you want to...

Yes, the constant tension between those that mix their own (ed's red, straight motor oil, whatever) and say that people that buy gun oil are dumb, and those that buy gun oil (which has been me, though I do use ed's red). (as an aside, my favorite gun grease/lube is Brian Enos' Slide Glide) A...

i rec'd a sample of the green "extreme duty" oil. It seems to work fine

don't discount the harbor freight as an option. it works fine--and is actually a hidden gem in the HF tool lineup. it's a little noisier than some, but face it, if you're not a pro, you're not going to be using it as frequently. for $50, you can't go wrong if you decide to go with HF, a new...

Originally Posted By: rooflessVW Fast Finish is designed to go on top of your wax. Says so right on the tin. I use spray wax when I do quick washes. Edit: Here's a thread from Meguiar's on it's use. That seems to go against most popular detailing sequences, but if megs says it, then fast...

edit - mod But seriously, I bought a McCulloch 1275 and love it. It really cuts through the grime and is a great non chemical cleaner. I also is it around the house a lot, too The 1275 holds 48oz of water (use distilled) and gives 45 minutes of steam on a full tank. The 1375 and 1385 hold more...

Originally Posted By: rooflessVW Fast Finish is the final step, after correction and waxing. I used Ultimate Liquid Wax, followed by Ultimate Fast Finish, and I top with Ultimate Spray Wax. why would you put a sealant (fast finish) on top of a wax?

Why go through all that effort and use a [censored] carnuaba wax at the end? Also, as others have said, you are misinformed about DA's if you think they'll burn through paint/clear.
