  1. That has happened with every sticker that I have ordered. I put a bottle or two on them for a while and they flatten out but it's still annyoing
  2. I'd like to pull this back up for some advice. Our new place has a stainless steel sink in the kitchen. It's a little stained up and streaky. The faucet and drain baskets were replaced. The only think left is the sink itself. I'm thinking a SK and metal polish would make it shine more than new. Are there other options though since I don't have a SK mini or metal polish yet? Maybe APC and elbow grease? Or would hand revive work? I don't have that yet either but that is on my need list. I'll post a picture when I get a chance.
  3. Dang, good work! That looks like new. How does that truck have no rust?! My brother has an 01 in Indiana. It was his work truck so rougher that most but it's beat up and rusty.
  4. Welcome! My addiction is definitely getting expensive and I'm trying to convince my girlfriend that it's worth it. We just moved so I haven't had time to wash cars. Once things settle down and I keep the cars shining, I think she will see the light. What part of Indiana are you in? We just moved from an apartment in Carmel to a condo in Indy.
  5. I received Waterless Wash in a MB but didn't get WW towels. They look very similar to the Great White Drying towel and I have an extra. Is the only difference between the Waterless Wash towels and Great White the size and color? Or are there any other towels that I could use with WW? I will eventually order WW towels but I need to spray it on something before I drink it.
  6. Sweet car! You'll be amazed how shiny Adam's can make it. My grandparents live in Ft Myers and my family and I are heading down there for Christmas. Welcome to the forum!
  7. I used an ice pack and had pretty good luck. It didn’t come out completely but it is way better
  8. I was thinking of using it as a duster on furniture, similar to ZMAN and Rich. I just moved to I need to dust shelves and tables and what not. I'll give ID a try. Possibly the Pumpkin Spice ?
  9. That looks great! I would bet you'd never get all the broken glass out. Before I got my car, it was totaled after being rearended and I still find pieces of glass on the back seat, in the trunk, and in the headliner. The guy that repaired the car was kind of an idiot though so maybe if he would've done it correctly, all of the broken glass would've been removed.
  10. I've got an extra Cars n Coffee if you're interested.
  11. There's 50 bottles left on the site. You better get it while you still can! I have an extra I'd trade if you have something limited. I like it but I think 2 bottles will be enough for me.
  12. I think those are the same exact lights that I just got for my garage. I love them and they are so bright. I will have 4 on the ceiling in the main 2 car garage area and one in the back area where the furnace, water heater, and work bench are and then I think I'll make some kind of mount for my extra so I can use it while detailing to find defects. That looks like a great space
  13. Welcome! I am definitely a VW fan. I'm not an owner, but big fan. That's a beautiful car. I have used Buttery Wax on a couple black cars and it looked great. The fact that it doesn't last very long will steer me away but it looks great while it lasts. I have some HGG to try out one of these days.
  14. I saw a for sale post on Facebook for a video game display case. Like the ones they have at Walmart with locks for the Xbox and PS games. I wonder if that would work for Adams bottles. It's lighted and had a backlit banner along the top for Xbox One. An Adam's banner could probably be made. I can't find the post now but I think he said something like "I don't know what it's worth and I can't remember what I paid for it. Let's start at $450". I'm not positive that is the price he posted but it was something ridiculous like that. Maybe that is a good price but it's not something I am willing to pay. I'll do a deeper dive and see if I can find the post.
  15. I haven't gotten a sticker with my orders since my SK MB from Black Friday. I have 2 total ?
  16. I have plumbers putty. I am going to replace the drain baskets as well. They are nasty. I'll add some around the faucet when I put it in. I think we want to see brush marks. We may or may not use the decorative glaze and the texture from the brush marks is how it shows itself. I'll keep that in mind for other painting projects though. I didn't know that existed. Here is what the ice maker was doing. It happened when the shut offs started leaking even though the fridge has been plugged in and hooked to water from the day we got the place. It was the heating element. It took like 5 minutes to take the back off and suck out all the lint and replace the heating element.
  17. Anything can happen. I would have done the plumbing and electrical repairs myself but the seller got quotes and the title company wrote checks to the contractor. I wish the check would've been written to myself and I could chosen whether I wanted to pay someone or do it myself. We actually did get a home warranty. Our service fee is $65. Something is wrong with the ice maker in our fridge so I will be calling on them for that. Also, our dryer wasn't getting hot. I googled the dryer and the issue and found out that it was a $30 repair. I'll definitely see if it cheaper to fix myself but if it looks like its going to be more than my service fee, I'll let someone else deal with it. Thank you! That equipment looks stout. It is also easy to use and reasonably priced. I'll have to look into that. That would be easier and prettier than just sandwiching 2x4s together. It was the p-trap. On the quote that the seller got, it said the plumber would cut exploratory holes in search of the leak and the repair would be $250-500. The ceiling was clearly wet so I went ahead and cut it open and was just going to ask the plumber what he thought while he was there. He ended up fixing it. The plumbers also wanted $325 to replace the kitchen faucet. I told them not to worry about it and I ordered a new faucet for $80. There are a few things I wouldn't be comfortable doing but I am pretty handy and I like feeling accomplished after fixing something, either around the house or on the cars. And speaking to the hole in the garage ceiling, I also have to make more holes to install my lights so I'll probably just wait and repair everything at once. The drywall in the garage is in bad shape anyway. We got a Rustoleum cabinet painting kit from Menards. It was around $70 and came with deglosser, base coat, optional decorative glaze, and the top protective coat. No sanding, just a lot of scrubbing and cleaning to prep the surface. It looked amazing and I was one coat away from being done with the base coat. Hopefully the doors will dry out and be fine. I try to avoid staining because I never seem to get two different pieces to match correctly. It looks great when its done right though.
  18. 2013 Kia Forte. Wash, Clay mitt, heavy correcting compound, one step polish, buttery wax, and a little detail spray on or around 8/9. It rained all day today and I got these pictures while at the gas station.
  19. I'll be 4th in line if possible ?
  20. I think it will all work out. The plumber seemed to realize it was on them. He didn't admit that they screwed up but he knew that something happened. It wasn't leaking and then they did work and it began leaking. It was hard to tell how extensive the damage was but the moisture readings showed that it spread out everywhere. A lot of that might just need the fans blowing for a little bit and no other real action. I'm sure I can return it. We have had it for a couple weeks and I'm keeping all of the receipts for this place. I'll just not mention the flooring and if they ask what I want installed, I'll tell them vinyl plank and sell them what I have or they can buy their own. The boxes of flooring are in the condo but if they ask about it, I can say it's for our bedroom or something. The kitchen has sheet vinyl now so I think the planks are comparable.
  21. I think I have decided that I hate water more than anything else. The roof/rear glass/trunk leaks on my Forte so the trunk gets soaked anytime it rains. And now this happens. We were in the process of painting the cabinets and all of the doors and drawers were laying on rosin paper under where it leaked so they got soaked as well. We are going to push them on it. I contacted the realtors that helped us in our search and they are going to do everything they can to get the plumbers to cover everything. They couldn't believe something like this happened just 12 days after closing. They said it usually takes 3-5 days to dry everything out and then repairs are subcontracted. Hopefully we can get that pushed along. It has nasty linoleum currently and I think they said that would have to be removed and then they would let the subfloor dry out. We had already bought vinyl plank flooring to put in the kitchen so hopefully they'll just reimburse us on that since it's necessary now. I had to look up what "CO" meant but I found out that Indianapolis does not issue Certificate of Occupancy. I don't want to move in without a functioning kitchen but we might have to. I have requested everything from the restoration company. Since the plumbers are at fault, everything will go to them but I asked for them to send me a copy as well.
