Grammar...

Does it bother any one else when they try to read a paragraph, or even a single sentence in some cases, that might have one or two comma's in throughout it trying to separate them, along with no other punctuation or grammar throughout the rest of it? That along with horrible spelling? For example: w...

I feel 'ya. The two 20 gallon tanks on my truck have to be filled up penny by penny on the pump or it will spew gas everywhere. That's fun.

One thing that has helped at certain gas stations is to turn the pump handle sideways. I know my older truck does not like these vapor recycling handles...

Thank you for this thread with that part number! I got that same code the day after I fixed all of the suspension parts; of course, and while I was under the car the other day to recheck the torque, I happened to notice that same hose cracked to all hell. Thankfully I remembered seeing this thread!

I have the 21 as well. When I read up on it it stated it would achieve best results with new paint and not damaged paint. It wasn't meant to "fix" things so to speak. That's the best I can describe it. Both are amazing sealants. Oh, I get where you are going now. Yes, M21 is intended to be used on ...

M20 is a great product, though, one of the few I don't have. It is somewhat similar to M21, but actually has some cleaners in it as well. I would love to pick some up one day. The only thing I'd ask though, is what do you mean by newer paint? Like, modern paint systems? If so, yeah, I guess in a way...

The reason I ask how it was applied is that I used Meguiar's Swirl X on my Neon with these results: (Don't mind the swirls near the line. I didn't get close enough while cleaning the paint with the product. You can see the actual results in the second picture.) http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/877...

If you are doing the whole car, pick up some Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. ScratchX 1.0 and 2.0 are meant more for specific "spots" on the paint. Ultimate Compound will get more defects out of the paint as well, being more aggressive. Neon's tend to have a harder clear, so the more aggressive product...

The only bushings I've needed special tools for thus far IIRC, besides a torch to burn the old ones out, was a hydraulic press to get the old front LCA bushings out in the rear of the arm. I have all of the bushings I have so far listed in my garage.
