Thought this would be interesting. What automotive skills, products, etc. have you learned or used over the years that you’ve applied to your home?
I used rain-x on my bathroom mirror and it doesn’t fog up as much when I shower :tup:
↑ Yeah I need to do that to my shower mrror so i can stop wiping the dam thing off everytime I shave.
My dad has a 20" Ford rim for his garden hose holder on the back of the house.
I use leather sealant from our paint/interior protection package to condition my couches and chairs. I also use my old body shop tools to carve pumpkins every year for my wife.
A carb stud kit to fix my bed frame
^^ Nice.
I’ve also used automotive leather care products on my office chair, etc.
And my spot cleaner for the suede in my 300zx on the carpet yesterday.
tiger hair to repair a wall
better than spackle 
Many years ago i took the front seats from a car that my brother wrecked, mounted them on boards, and used them for video game furniture. Gran Turismo 2 was so cool haha.
This reminds me, I promised to lexol my wife’s purse. She got steak juice on the leather and it stained. Ironic.
I have also rain-x’d the bathroom mirror.
Carb cleaner, brake cleaner = hand cleaner (potential long term damage, do not do)
under the sink with snap-on tools always make me shake my head…
:word: Using top of the line tools to fix BS household issues. Kind of makes me laugh.
We rhino lined our outside porch/entry way, then painted over it
My old c/f hood is hanging over my piano.
i want pics of the glass top coffee table with porsche wheel base at joe’s place when MPD and newman were up in that shit
I hear Bondo works well to repair old trim that your too lazy/too broke to replace. Kinda goes along with using Tiger Hair to repair the wall.
(for the grammer nazi’s, sorry if I used too instead of to, it’s been a long week and I’m into a pint of Double Arrogant Bastard, plus half a growler of regular Arrogant)
Bing i remember seeing a pic of that also. Im sure there was a better picture then the one in this thread posted somewhere.

I put a few coats of finish 2001 wax in my bathroom sink because gobs of toothpaste kept getting stuck on it because my wife constantly uses too much toothpaste. Shit slid right off for weeks.
I use kroil penatrating oil on tons of stuff around the house.
I gotta try that.
I used quick detailer on my riding boots a couple times in a pinch. I’m also planning on using it to clean my road bike before i put it away in a couple weeks.
Great thread Josh.
I tried invisible glass and that worked pretty good…I will try Rain-X.
This also gives me another idea. :tup:
