Idiot Of The Week Price goes to Tapio

[TapioK]

When I bought the Dog she was neglected, all the aluminium dull and dirty. It took me weeks to make her shine again.
Now I had a brilliant idea, I give her a good wash and get rid of all the residue and dirt on the engine.
While spraying this stupid decreaser I all the sudden desided to spray it liberally all over, hell it will take care of the bugs and shit too, right?
Well it did. I believe it had some shitty acid on it, and now I know the easiest way to make you aluminium look like shit with no sweat.
Thank god the rims are chromed!
So do I get the Idiot Of The Week Price or what? :bang::bang::bang::bang:

No I think people have done worse than that. I remember another guy on here a few years ago did the exact same thing.

Well, I have a Wire Plus.
Figured I can't live with beeing afraid of water. If my dog can't hande some water I'm to remove the wiring "Nuke Style" and go hardwire.
Alan, I was about to take some pictures, but It's not fair to take photos of the dog when she is down. Also the camera got covered with my vomit and hands were shaking too much. Needed a fresh pair of underwear too.

ooohhh my...yea some of those products will actually turn the alum. dark gray....ask me how i know!

For future reference, S100 works great at removing bugs, road grime, brake dust, etc. and puts down a anti-oxidant protectant that keeps the polished billet looking great.

Steve, I do have that stuff. Have a tiny oil leak, thus the use of that degreaser shit... That leak is gonna go now.

Hey T does the headlight still work?:2thumbs:

 

[pauldeepsea]

I always wash with soap and water. Use plastic bags to cover: Battery and electrical, top of the engine case, turn signals, and wheel bearing never had a problem with using water.

Tapio I needed to wash mine very good to get all that salt off after we talked in PCB to. Just didnt want to go home so spent about 2 hours in car wash with high pressure and didnt expect it to start and work correctly but it did.

Hey T does the headlight still work?:2thumbs:

Yes, still working, thanks for asking. Lights started dimming and brighten on my way back from Panama tough. I suppose that was from voltage regulator, hopefully that doesn't explode next... I'm too lazy to check whether those words dimming and brighten are english...
Good luck with your back!

I have heard 50% swear by S-100 and 50% swear at that stuff. Is it good?

What little I have used it, it seems to work fine. Have some other shit too and can't complain about those either. Figure that, maybe my standards are too low...

I found my lights dimming and going back to normal before, was a loose connection on the battery ground.

Did check that. They don't dim much, it's like the voltage dropping a bit, hence the idea of regulator.
