I'll have to remember that one... hadn't thought of that.

I've used Simple Green a lot on the cleanup so far. Love that stuff!

I looked on amazon and it says it's $37.49 per bottle....

wha ?? that stuff was like $13-16 a couple years ago....
that's ridiculous if it's right.
When I bought it last, it was about half the price at the dealer. I think Amazon has us all programmed to think we're always getting the best deal there. Not so anymore.

Fashionista meets mechanic. The Apple watch, tho? I learned early, no watches, rings, or jewelry of any kind when working on most anything. My dad had a coworker who insisted on wearing his wedding ring at work. He slipped off a ladder and ended up wearing that ring on his other hand (but not at work any more).

when i tie the knot in november, im going to have my nice wedding band and then at work i'm just going to wear one of those silicone ones. not worth risking dropping a rotor on it and it crushing my finger. plus its a good way to scratch stuff up too

Yep. A couple splashes in a big bucket of water is all it takes, and the smell dissipates with the water.

Incidentally, I love Simple Green for everything but interiors because of the smell. SG smell won't dissipate for weeks.

I can't use that stuff at all. Something about that odor gets to me....it's one of a kind that's for sure.

Distilled water and white vinegar 50/50...at least that won't fuse your brain cells together.

Mistakenly dripped isopropyl alcohol on upholstery once...wiped it off right away, but it was too late. Ruined it quickly.

She's always (not) dressed like that. I don't know how she does it, LOL. Also, I will say that she makes waaaaay too many "that's what she said" jokes. I do also know that she doesn't read comments. When she was putting in the M5OD, I mentioned in two different videos that she should replace the three rubber plugs with freeze plugs, or black RTV. It got put in with the 3 rubber plugs... oh well, I tried.

Yesterday the Simple Green made me cough when I was in the interior with it. First time that's happened to me. I use it a lot, so I hope that doesn't happen anymore, LOL.

When I say I love it, I'm not kidding. :P


5G with a pump.

We dilute it and use it to clean the house, and use it full strength to degrease car parts.
