TurtleWax

[twixmix0303]

I just bought some TurtleWax Rubbing Compound "Heavy Duty Cleaner" for my car because it is suffering from serious oxidation. (It is obvious the previous owner did not care for it.) Apparently, TurtleWax Rubbing Compound is a special HEAVY DUTY formula for cleaning, dull, badly weathered finishes. Quickly and easily penetrates through the oxidized surface to remove scratches, blemishes, and stubborn stains. Recommended for fubbing down between coats of newly sprayed lacquer and acrylic car finishes.

Ok? A clay-bar works magic. It took spray paint off my car. Also will work on oxidation.

In addition to buying turtle wax, I also bought a replacement antenna mast since mine somehow disappeared, also bought new plugs for the tires. I'm getting an oil change tomorrow. Just thought I'd let y'all know.

[Aero737]

Be a man, change your own oil!

[twixmix0303]

/\ Haha. Yeah right.

[Aero737]

Why you laughing?

[twixmix0303]

Knowing me, I'd just screw something up...

[Aero737]

All you do is unscrew the unscrew the filter, unscrew the screw on your oilpan, fill the new filter with fresh oil, let the car drain, screw the filter back in, plug the oil pan again, fill your car with oil.

If you do change your oil, it's very important that you fill your new filter with oil before you put it in your car. If you do not, you car might be running on 0 oil pressure for a second or two which is devistating to the engine.

Yeah I even trust my fiance to change my oil. In fact he is doing it today... yay for car maintenance!

[CoasterTycoon77]

Oooh....dresses good, looks good, just a little crazy and works on cars....my kinda guy! I'd say he's a keeper!

[ihauntu2]

Uh, Punkbunny...

I hope that isn't a new car he is changing the oil on. Doing your own maintenence on a new vehicle under warranty can actually void the warranty. They can no longer require you to bring it to a dealer mechanic, but they do require some sort of "official" paperwork to show that you are keeping up on the regular things. This is usually a log or receipt that most quick change places do now.

In any case I'd double check all the legal crap before he touches the filter.

Just refreshing my memories, i won't be working there until christmas. Anyone in Joliet, go ahead and verify. I AM YOUR HELPFUL HARDWARE MAN!!!

[Rusty888]

[twixmix0303]

Actually, it has been moved 27 feet down to the right-hand side.

[Trailblazer Tony]

^Are you joking, b/c as crazy as my email sounded, i was serious.

Turtle Wax is located in the back center of the store, on the right hand side of the shelf next to all that other car cleaning crap at your Hales Corners Kmart

All ACE Hardwares are different because they are all individually owned.

[w00dland]

Thats nice. I was still talking about Kmart though.

[Trailblazer Tony]

[Rusty888]

are u gonna take that helpful hardware man???

[Trailblazer Tony]

Yeah, when K-Mart goes out of business, he'll come around.

[twixmix0303]

I just got my oil changed at Fast Jacks and it came with a car wash, so I applied that rubbing compound this afternoon. It helped some but I'll probably do it at least a two or three more times (over the course of several days) before it snows to get the really heavy stuff off. Then finish up with a good polish and wax if I can actually remove all of the oxidation.

K-MART WILL NEVER GO OUT OF BUISNESS IN MY HEART!
