Ceramic Coatings
Ceramic coatings really are a you get what you pay for. How long one lasts is both a product of the actual coating and the amount of prep you put into the application. Ceramic coatings are not a simple apply and forget about it. They still require that you maintain them. I've had two vehicles... -
S&C interview posted on another site...
This is a good comparison. For anyone who doesn't feel absolutely worked over their entire body after doing barbell squats, you're doing them wrong. Squats and deadlifts are the best overall body lifts you can do. -
Auto Detail in Des Moines
Dynamic Auto Detailing on 70th Street in Urbandale. I use them twice a year to detail my SUV. To wash, wax, clean the windows, polish the wheels, and dress the tires runs me $95.00 each time. They can also clean interiors and steam clean an engine. I had them steam clean my engine twice which... -
Living in Colorado
If you want to live in Boulder you better get used to the hippies and tree huggers along with paying 400K+ for a home. It's a nice town just not very affordable. Aurora is not bad as long as you avoid living near Colfax Ave. It's just like any other city it has good and bad parts. Aurora is only... -
Protein drinks
Optimum Nutrition's 100% protein is good if you are using it for strength training. If you just using it to add extra protein to your diet there are probably better alternatives. Whey protein is a very fast digesting protein so it doesn't stick with you for very long. Optimum Nutrition's casein... -
Car washing/detailing yourself
Don't you mean performance exhaust? :jimlad: -
Car washing/detailing yourself
A power washer will not ruin your finish. A car washes with brushes or employees who wipe down your vehicle at the end will. Automatic touchless car washes are fine, but they will strip whatever wax or sealant you are using pretty fast due to the strong soaps they use. -
Car washing/detailing yourself
If you're looking to remove scratches by hand, I would recommend Meguiar's 105 Ultra Cut Compound. The downside is you can only buy it online or at an auto body supply store. -
Car washing/detailing yourself
This is spot on. If you have tint on your windows don't use anything that is ammonia based. I don't own a single product made by Armor All. There is a reason they are cheap. Zaino is decent, but what most people don't understand is that getting the best look on your vehicle is all about what you... -
Where do you get your oil changed?
I've had no problems with a nearby dealership using my oil and filter and their labor to complete an oil change on my vehicle and I only get charged labor. Of course I pay a higher labor rate at this dealership than I would at others, but I also know it will be done right and if they screw... -
Home/Auto Insurance
We've been insured with Allied since 2003 with both home and auto, and I can't remember the last time we saw a rate hike on our auto policy. Our home policy rate stayed relatively flat until we had a recent loss, but the increase wasn't that dramatic. I will iterate what a few others have... -
Bitten by Dog
If you're bit by a dog, large or small, and their teeth puncture your skin, you're a fool if you don't seek medical attention unless you like dealing with the infection you are sure to get. -
We lose a game and............
Wrong :no:, check your stats. Coach Mac had a few bad seasons. Try 97-98, 98-99, and 03-04 and that's not all of them. Things would not be different if Coach Mac were here. He had plateaued and was not going to get the Cyclones past playing for the Big 12 North title every once in awhile. I'd be... -
