The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Helpful tips

Hello, I have discovered some helpful tips, and thought I would share. Of course, I show you mine, you show me yours!

1.) Run nails over bar of soap to keep grease from getting under nails. Or, just wear laytex gloves...
2.) Nail pilosh remover. Works GREAT on over spray and such. I have sucessfully cleaned off 2 layers of spray paint off my VIN plate, and 4 layers of overspray AND paint off my lights.
3.) Save old SOS pads. They are great for removing brake dust off wheels. Not to much scratch left in them to leave marks, but enough scratch left for those stubborn burnt on dust flakes.
4.) Those Blue shop towels (like a blue roll of bounty) if you have a little grease (dont want to grease up the washer) gas/cleaner on them. You can wash them! I discovered this when my hubby left a handful of "semi still good" towels in his pocket and I threw the jacket in the wash. AND dryer. They came out like new again! Only saves like a dime or so...but never know when you'll run out! (usually with a fistfull of grease!)
