To lessen the probability of permanent paint damage, especially where love bugs are prevalent, you could protect your car with paint protection film first.

OP, is that a Ram Air III or IV?  Looks like it doesn't have the optional hood tach (I've heard they were inaccurate and unreliable but does add to the "cool" factor.  Also, thought that hidden headlights were standard on all '69 Judges but have seen a few others with exposed lights like yours. I think all the early production cars were Carousel Red until midyear at least.. You could have a very early production number.

Any update on the 16 X 24 size?

I was referring to the standard size crate (12" X12").  You are referring to the Supreme crate that you purchased which is (14" X 14") and is also taller. My original post was in reply to your statement below in which you told Matt that only 2 or 3 jugs would fit in a standard milk crate.

The problem I ran into Matt was every Milk Crate that I found was too short and could only fit 2 or 3 jugs which means I couldn't stack them and they didn't serve much purpose. Thats why I had to buy the extra large ones like this.

My intent was to show those who might be interested that they may not need the extra size of the Supreme crate if they did not need to stack with pumps in place thereby saving a little space and some $$$$ since the standard crates are easily found.

Sorry for any confusion.

My crate is 11 inches tall.  The standard crates advertised on the web site you posted are 10 3/8 inches tall.  Don't know if anyone makes the taller standard size crate.  The date stamped on mine is 9-80.

Here is proof that 4 gallon containers will fit in a standard size milk crate (12" X 12") with room for a 16 oz. spray bottle in the middle.  Obviously you cannot stack with pump attachment. The tops of the jugs are just below the top edge of the crate, so you should be able to stack crates as shown.

Close enough.  It's a TVR 450 SEAC, circa 1988.  None imported to the US.  Probably the ultimate wedge.       

Since it looks like Rich won't be able to post until Sunday, I decided I couldn't wait and have posted my own "guess what it is" pic.  Sorry for breaking the rules!

Recently bought a used Galaxy Gray Element  SC.  Paint texture was very rough due to prior history of neglect. Following a wash and claybar polished with Revive, then Buttery Wax. Engine cleaned with diluted APC in foaming bottle, then agitated with Boulder Blonde Boars Hair brush and Lug nut brush.  Rinsed, then dryed with Metro Vac followed by appiication of Super VRT. No before pics but it's a big improvement.

Thats horsehair!

 

 

I'd look at one of their distributors.  

Yikes, your right!  Eric's website shows currently unavailable.

Any resellers out there have this brush in stock?  Apparently it is one of the products that Adam's has discontinued.  If not available, do you have any other recommedations?

another reason not to buy a goverment motors vehicle

He probably just watched a re-run of the movie "Roger and Me" and wanted to vent!

On a similar note, I have purchased and paid for a Boulder Blonde Hair Wheel Brush in early September and it is still on backorder.  If it was not available when I ordered it, why wasn't it listed as "currently out of stock"?

Are you planning any mods like tires, wheels, suspension?  I know you don't want to do any cutting on that bodywork.

Alcohol has a tendency to dry out rubber over time, but if you change your blades twice a year maybe it won't be a problem.  Another good reason to keep your blades and windshield clean is to reduce the chance of scratching the glass.

You might want to refer to this thread for more info on this subject.

Razor blade!

Do not use a razor blade on a DRY windshield!

Was this?

the inspiration for this?

Looks great!  

 

Keep in mind that UCS has a high level of silicon in it which means it'll attract dirt pretty quickly, plus it's flammable.  

 

Stating this more for the unknowing...  

 

What year is the car?  

First post says it's a '79.  According to his profile he also owns a Bora and possibly another Merak.

Looks like your just kicking up alot of dust off the floor, getting it airborne so it can settle back on all the interior surfaces.

Have you tried a 4" paint brush?

Does Adams still sell the bucket Dolly?

I have been told they are on backorder.

I've heard that some dashboards exposed to the hot sun over time will begin to slowly decompose and become sticky;  certain Toyota models in particular.  It may help to always use a sunshade when you leave your car out in the sun for prolonged periods of time esp. in warmer climate regions.

Steve, have you looked in to the Detailing Swabs?  http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-925-adams-interior-detailing-swabs.aspx.  They are listed as 'Interior" but should work fine for your use.

Well, at least for me, a larger foam brush would be more appropriate, ideally tapered at the end and about 1 1/2 inches wide and 8 inches total length including handle.  The swabs are great for smaller jobs though.
