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: ---

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. ---

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) ---

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) ---

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. ---
