I'll be getting a second one as soon as I get my lighting project done. So far I'm over $300 into that one though.
The Sears cabs are 135 more each...I may end up getting two of those from lowes after we back from SB.

It was an easy choice for me. By the time I paid tax and shipping on the Sears cab it was gonna be $390. The huge Lowes cab was only $160+tax.

Yeah I would have done the same. Keep in mind I got my cabinet for $240.

There's no way I'm removing all of this stuff to get better pictures of the labels. It all kind of just "fits" now. If I remove it, there's no guarantee it'll ever make it back in.
What are the "Slide Lock Brushes" for?

Im just starting and spending some decent coin moving slowly and feel guilty sometimes but now after seeing some of your stash im going to have a guilt free summer.

How do you like Menzerno products?

There's a big thing going around on a big forum that menz is using filler oils. After a couple months defects are reappearing in the paint. It's weird because after 5x ipa wipedown nothing happens but if they let it sit in the sun everything reappears.

Either way i'm staying away from Menz for right now until they figure out exactly what is going on. I couldn't afford to have anything happen like that

All of these pics were taken at my last home but since then this is now stored in my utility room in my garage at our new home, basically the same stuff just in bigger plastic tubs now. Amazing how much stuff we accumulate over time!

The slidelock is an interior brush that was discontinued. The collar slides up to stiffen the bristles. When I found some not long ago I picked up a bunch just in case I couldn't find them again for a while.

The talk of Menzerna is weird. I first saw this on the optimu forum over a year ago. The fact that it was on another companies forum, I just brushed it off. Supposedly, the paint is swelling from the solvents in Menzerna's products temporarily hiding defects until the paint returns to normal. That's when the defects are said to come back. Usually it's a few days. I want to go to a junk yard and get a heavily swirled hood or decklid and give it a try myself. Polish it out and leave it outside to see what happens.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but the Menzera discussion may be warranted in another thread or another place...(LOL)

I have several products and like "some" of them but to be perfectly honest, I do not like the feel the product leaves behind. The only reason I have some of them is b/c of the harder BMW's, Mercedes etc...but now that I have M105 I would prefer to use those on those paints...

Shall we move this discussion....

I have never heard anything like that, you might want to do some more research over @ www.autopia.org on this product.

I read through the thread over at Autopia. I get tired of reading the same thing said in a slightly different way for 5+ pages.
