I was reading through past posts and didn't see anything mentioned about this. couple of people ill about dead batteries. Here's tip I use anytime I'm doing anything except D&P's. Put a battery charger on the car on trickle or low as soon as you pull it in. That way if you get interrupted or behind, no dead batteries. That is generally the first thing I do when working on a car that will be a while. Never know when someone has a bad battery. When customer asks why his battery went dead or has a charger on it, simply explain that these batteries are not meant to be run down, we are protecting your car electronics and battery by maintaining a charge during the work. Nothing at all is wrong, just another service we give you to better take care of your vehicle. You know :beer and they are going to be the first to @#$% and ask questions.

Well I know of only one other person I have ever seen that does this. And saw a post of a couple bitching about dead batteries. I thought this was a pretty ignorant fight to have with yourself. So I thought I would throw it out there.

:passout

I don't charge but have a routine where I will crank the car half way through to check the battery and make sure that is has a charge.

I could but a chager on the car, but then I will have to buy a real one and not a jump box.

I used to do that and still do from time to time. But I try to keep a bit of a routine.

      South facing windows DR film

      Install went great. I went with NV-25, I am very happy. The room has been darkened significantly, from bright and hot to much more pleasant and enjoyable. Watching TV during the day is no longer blinding, when it is cloudy it is definitely a bit gloomy, I am glad I did not go with NV-15. I plan on getting more windows done in the future to help cut down on heat energy. Thanks for everyone's input!

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..
