Update:
Can't stand the look of the Black Cherry Pearl paint and light grey seats so we painted them with some SEM Color Coat aerosol.
Before...Uck

After


It took two cans per seat. Around $14.00 per can before tax.

This stuff is pretty amazing!!! I did the seats on my Camaro a while back and after about 5 years the drivers side boaster started getting thin. So I just re-shot that part and its good for another 5 years.

Update:

I just completed my long trip waste solvent test. Its amazing!!!
For 6.9 gallons of pump fuel I burned 3 gallons of free waste solvent at 418 miles that gave me a 60 mpg.

Waste hydrocarbons are all around us. You have been able to take a waste stream and turn it into a fuel stream. We need to monetize more of our waste as such.

Thanks Rusty!!!

Now that I got the word out (wanted your waste solvent) I have a over abundance of this waste solvent. Storage is starting to become a problem.

My home with it's detached shop space used to be on the outer edges of town and was considered "unincorporated" and we were allowed up to several hundred gallons of fuel for use and storage. That was 30 years ago. We are now limited to 119 gallons. Weird number. But, since my son left for college years ago, I have taken over his waste oil contracts that he established during his high school waste oil Mercedes science project. I don't drive like a teenage fool. The oil piles up. When it approaches 120 gallons in storage, I call up my Dad and say, "We ride"!

"Where to"? He asks.

I say, "I don't know, but WE MUST RIDE"!

Forced vacations are a healthy thing.
