When a brother and sister struck a coyote at 75mph they assumed they had killed the animal and drove on.

They didn't realize this was the toughest creature ever to survive a hit-and-run.

Eight hours, two fuel stops, and 600 miles later they found the wild animal embedded in their front fender - and very much alive.

Daniel and Tevyn East were driving at night along Interstate 80 near the Nevada-Utah border when they noticed a pack of coyotes near the roadside on October 12.

When one of the animals ran in front of the car, the impact sounded fatal so the siblings thought there no point in stopping.

'Right off the bat, we knew it was bad,' Daniel explained. 'We thought the story was over.'

After the incident around 1am, they continued their 600 mile drive to North San Juan - even stopping for fuel at least twice.

But it was only when they finally reached their destination at 9am did they take time to examine what damage they may have sustained.

At first it looked as though it was going to be quite gruesome.
'[Daniel] saw fur and the body inside the grill,' Tevyn East said. 'I was trying to keep some distance. Our assumption was it was part of the coyote - it didn't register it was the whole animal.'

Daniel East got a broom to try and pry the remains out of the bumper and got the shock of his life.

'It flinched,' Tevyn East said. 'It was a huge surprise - he got a little freaked out.'

Not sure if the adjustable spray pattern is still being used but there was no markings whereas on the old cans there were.

I like the new spray head as well:






2 cans of Hot Shine Tire Coating, 3 cans of Hot Shine Tire foam, a bottle of Hot Shine Tire Gel and a bottle of Hot Shine Tire Spray are more than enough. I just like the Hot Shine products and do use them instead of All Season Dressing or Hyperdressing sometimes.

I also wash my DA pads in the sink with Tide Free. I find that Tide Free works better then some of those specialized cleaners.

Recently I mixed up a bucket of water and Tide Free and hand washed about 20 MF towels. I must say, they came out much cleaner then when they were washed in the washing machine. I did scrub a few soiled spots by rubbing the towel against themselves but for the most part I just dunked, agitated and squeezed them in the water. i washed my good towels first with little scrubbing and then washed my "rag" MF towels last.

I then mixed up some vinegar and water and rinsed them.

Given the results of washing them this way I will do this from now on. I found that they were much more clean then when I did them in the washing machine. Granted, this is not for everyone as I know many people wash a lot of towels each and every day but for me, it was worth the extra time. ]]> Detailing 101 tcope1 http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38876 http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38875&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:06:32 GMT Is there anyone in the Houston Tx area (South East) that would be willing to show some techniques or lessons using Mequiar's products and a DA and rotary. ]]> Detailing 101 mpavlas http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38875 http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38874&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:20:21 GMT All by hand: -Wash w.

Thanks for info

Is this this because the cleaner in NXT will remove the M07? Also:

-If I apply the NXT first, the M07 won't penetrate?
-If I apply NXT second it will remove the M07? (Been doing this 1yr+)
[I think I got the following idea from recent post, can't remember.]
-If I apply M07, then M-26 and then after a cure time, spay on UQW?

Goal:
-keep old paint drenched in rich oils
-slow down further checking to hottest area of hood.
-protection an Sheeting.
-Set up CC so that I get through to spring with GC soap and UQW

I plan on using the DA to apply ColoerX and SwirlX. 2) What is the typical life expectancy of a pad? 3) is there benefit of applying NXT wax with the DA? By benefit, I mean in terms of the effectiveness of the protection; I don't mind applying wax by hand, but would use the DA if it improves anything.
