  1. Oh by the way, Suaada miilaad, "happy birthday" bil Arabi, in Arabic transliteration.

  2. What are you upset about? Being one year older? A lot of us geezers would gladly trade places with you, men and women alike. We have seen our lives pass by in a flash working jobs we hate, sometimes remaining too long with people we are not compatible with and now left with regrets of time and life seemingly wasted. You have accomplished a lot and are quite accomplished. Revel in it, go forward.

  3. I can't wait to tell my shrink I have a friend...wait, I am a shrink in real life after leaving the corporate world. You have been a great source of patience and information for me. cmgogo too. I about drove him crazy with questions on lubing all the rubber seals with Honda lube and you probably with detail cleanin questions. I can't wait to try out the Red Devil. The site has been down...

  4. I managed to order it from American Chemical and Equipment Company with no apparent problem. At least it processed my order unlike the other sites: http://www.americanchemical.net/c81/-RED-DEVIL-DEGREASER-1-Gallon-p374.html
  5. Well friend that is not how to get rich, but it is great you are not out to screw customers. I spent enough time in the corporate world as a cost analyst to see what customers who pay for your services would most likely be charged the cost of a gallon of Red Devil with each cleaning. The labor cost at $80.00 an hour at the car wash which these days is the low car shop standard hourly charge for service, then all other residual costs like electricity to operate your business, phone calls, I don't have to tell you, even rags and replacing rags as well as washing them is all calculated in the cost. So you may be cheap but there are those willing to pay more than you charge for your services. I would hazard a guess that a local auto retailer would be more than happy to pay you your prices to detail the trade ins they receive.
  6. It may be worth the drive to Boise. I would admit my stupidity to reveal that I paid a pro detail shop the going rate here of $200.00 to do what you do for $40.00. We have real hard water in Vancouver so maybe I will hook up a long hose to the compressor to get it as dry as I can get it. It only takes one time to leave a permanent spot. You should see the cars at the car dealers who hire illegals to wash their cars but not dry them off..they are ruined.
  7. Yeh, I read that in the early post about it not harming paint, etc. but I could not believe my eyes. I thought maybe you photoshopped the dirt off. I would eat off your engine compartment or have surgery on it, it is so clean. I can't wait to get back home and try it. I love a clean engine compartment! Gee you must not drive around much in Idee Ho for it to stay that clean. How do you get the sagebrush rolling across I-84 out from under the fender wells, set it on fire?
  8. Did you dry it out with an air compressor or did you use some electrical component aerosol spray moisture displacement? Not WD-40 because to me it is too oily.
  9. I see there is a hazardous material surcharge, do you recommend a respirator and rubber chemical resistant gloves when using the stuff? Also, in your before and after photos, how much elbow grease did it take to get it that clean? I guess I should start from the beginning. What items under the hood did you have to protect with plastic wrap, alumimum foil or a Walmart bag and duct tape? I assume it took more than spraying on a dilution of Red Devil and rinsing it off. I used to use a toilet bowl cleaning tool, that had a string mop like end on my show Carmaro but I was dealing with semi-gloss black not body color paint and huge engine bay. Your engine compartment looks like it has been carnuba'd! Also, since the stuff seems to be real potent what kind of items should it not come in contact with, like soft plastic and rubber parts, will it dissolve anything in the engine compartment?
  10. I know this has been around a long, long time but please detail what areas to duct tape around th edistributor. I used the plastic bag method and then had to have my car towed to the local shop to work on the distributor and get it died out as it did manage to get wet and the car would not start. Also are there special relays or ALL relays should be avoided? Instead of having to be careful about the battery terminals would you recommend we remove the battery and cover the battery lead clamps?
