blcksilv08 got a reaction from Mariner in Gas or Electric Pressure Washer?
I agree with what Mariner said, I own both but 9/10 times I get the electric one out. It does all my car cleaning needs and will clean most household surfaces(concrete, brick, wood, etc).
I also have a small Greenworks unit from Lowe's that has worked great for the last 3 years and was less than $200. My gas one was used once last year to do the entire driveway but I ended having to drain gas out of it at the end of the season which is a pain. The electric one requires almost no maintenance.
As far as budget goes you could get something like the Greenworks units for under $200 or some of the lower end Karchers fall in that price category. If it were me, I'd get two Greenworks and the job done faster ?

That's a pretty good one! I wonder if it heated and expanded a contact that was broken or loose enough that you were able to regain power.

blcksilv08 reacted to falcaineer in I baked my phone
Yes, you read the title correctly. Don't believe me? Read on...
About a week ago, my (admittedly outdated LG G3) phone died on me. Out of nowhere, the screen went blue and the phone shut down. It wouldn't turn on, wouldn't take a charge. Nothing. It was D-E-D, dead!
While I forgot to get a picture of my phone, here's what it looked like:
So now what???
Dr. Google to the rescue! After a little research, I found this is fairly common with G3's. I came across multiple articles and videos describing how people applied heat to the motherboard as a fix action. Hair dryers, heat guns, and ovens, too. I thought no way that could work, but I'm not an electrical engineer. But the phone is essentially a brick, so what do I have to lose? Well, besides all the data I hadn't backed up in a little while.
Anyway, off to the kitchen!
Phone disassembled, motherboard laid gently on the cookie sheet. *No cooking spray applied.
Oven temp set at 350' (later reduced to 325', basically out of fear ), and timer set for 10 VERRRRYYYYYY LOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGG minutes.
A watched motherboard never broils...
Dinner's ready!!! It didn't really brown, that's just the lighting. I think.
Soooooo, did it work?
Phone reassembled...press power button........wait.........no blue screen.......wait..........Verizon startup screen!......wait.........
YES!!! I am back up and running, and - knock on wood - have been ever since. And there's even a little Adam's reflection on the home screen for your viewing pleasure.
I must admit I really thought I was being punked. But I'm not surprised at all to know there are plenty of smarter people than me out there. When in doubt, phone a friend!
P.S. Hat tip to @Norton who doesn't believe I'll get a new phone anytime soon. He's probably right.

I enjoy the blooper vids. But I think that while you're doing a "how to use" video, maybe you could include a clip or two sent in by customers of their rides showing the results they got from the product you're demonstrating. Seeing results that us "normal" guys get makes us all think we can make our cars might look close to what you pros do.

I'd love to see videos of Adam's Polishes crew involvement with shows like Barrett Jackson of Scottsdale. Also more instructional videos using the polishers in different situations, i.e. this car model with this type of paint in this condition would be great for the Heavy Correcting Polish and here are some tricks, tips, etc. I think that would be helpful and interesting.

Just to clear things up...pun intended
Our clear buckets are more of a frosted plastic, and not exactly like the one you see in the original post on this thread:

Nice! Revive is definitely underused and talked about in the Adams line up but is one of my favorites. I only use Adams towels and glass cleaner to wipe off my phone and glasses.

Am sure some of you will make the connection on the names

blcksilv08 got a reaction from 1fastsho in 2017 SS Sedan
I always say if I didn't use my truck as often as I do(every day), I would have an SS. Easily my favorite 4 door car to be produced in the past 5 years.

blcksilv08 reacted to 1fastsho in 2017 SS Sedan
When I heard the 2017 SS would be last the year they would make them i decided to trade the 2015 SS for a 2017 SS. Went a different color this time. I have already done a paint correction and wax on it. Waiting to see what this year brings as far as mods. I have planned to go with a LSA supercharger on it. Also doing a ceramic coat once weather permits .
