i've seen remote starts do that because of the crimp on connectors. i personally had a TL that did that, went back and soldered all connections and it started fine every time. 

My little girl got a stack of presents bout the size of my car, and I scored a stack of debt

Sounds familiar.

just finished messing with this. know it's not tint related but still a pretty cool car. no where near as slick as i like them, but gotta do what the customer wants 

i know a glass man told me one time for cleaning hard water stains to use the Bar Keepers Friend brand stuff that is like comet in the can, dump some on a paper plate or something and mix in a little bit of water to create a paste. then take a rag and use the paste to almost polish across the window and it comes out looking about new. I do it if my windshield ever starts looking bad and it always comes out great. guess you could try something like that or you might have to break out a solvent based cleaner and razor.

sounds like the fuel pump on its way out to me. know sometimes when they are starting to go bad they can become hit or miss like that. next time it does it and won't start, try taking a bat or long handle and hitting the bottom of the fuel tank, then try starting again. sometimes that will help them start and let you know for sure that the pump is going bad.

on the 3m scotch brite pads. i paint cars for a living and we use the white pads for washing raw plastic bumpers because those are about the least course you can get and won't put much of a scratch on the raw plastic, id say they are more comparable to 1000-1500grit. the grey 07446 pads would be more so of the 500-600 grit, and the red 07447 would be more of a 220ish-400grit 

Coming from a bodyshop background myself I can verify that this is much more accurate 

it would be nice to win the raffle but i plan on sticking around
