  • Ohhhh noooooooooo!!!!!

    So I'm doing a detail on one of my rigs. I finish the cab, pleased with the results I decide to pull her out into the semi sunny skies. I get in, start her up, put her in gear and I start to make my way outside when all of the sudden.....POP!!!

    I'm thinking awww ****, I just ran over my UC. I get out and look over towards the back of the bay and I see it.....and my eyes begin to water....My brand spanking new only used twice 32oz bottle of M105.....all over the ground, wall, garbage can, jump suits, and the side of my rig!!


    Right now I'm fit to be tied! Why couldn't have been my nearly empty bottle of UC.....Why??

    On a good note I was able to save about 4oz of it in a mini water bottle.
    I have pics of it, I'll post them later.

    Ahh sorry to hear the news. I completely understand, that stuff is liquid gold!

    Similar things have happened to me!

    I ran over a new bottle of SwirlX and now there is a huge crack in the side of the bottle.

    I also ran over my Firemen style hose nozzle-That obliterated into a ton of pieces

          I'm over due for running over something valueable. The only thing I've ever ran over was a butane soldering iron and it survived.

          Sorry to hear about the 105.

            Accidents will happen.We've all done them.Apart from losing your new bottle and left with a lot of cleaning,at least nothing was damaged...that's the only good thing!

                Mega, I wish it was a new bottle of SwirlX as I could run out to PepBoys and pick up a new bottle. No one around here sells the new 105, one place had the old version but in the gallon size. Ohh well, guess I'm picking up a new bottle of UC since that seemed to work really well on the rig.


                I hear ya J.A., I was using the 105 for spot corrections that the UC didn't fix. I could have sworn that the bottle was closer to the wall.....I found out the hard way that it wasn't.

                Yes Carfire it is a bummer....a MAJOR one at that!

                Dope, I was thinking the same thing not too long ago. I'm fortunate enough to save a few onces of it, should be able to get at least one car done.

                  And I thought I was the only one to run over bottles of product.

                  Sorry about your loss Underdawg. 32oz of product is a lot to loose.

                          Well here are the pics. Those who have a sensitive stomach or any type of heart conditions need not continue or else risk severe health issues.












                          This is what I was able to salvage...





                          After a productive day, I thought nothing less then a some sort of farm call that would mess the rig up would be a buzzkill.....boy was I wrong! Anyway heres a sneak peak at what I was able to accomplish today.

                            When you saw you ran oover your product, you had to call in an ambulance!?

                            Just kidding, but think positive, at least it wasn't a rotary or da you ran over.

                              At first glance, I expected to see pics of someone's wife having slid a set of keys across a car hood or having "surprise" washing their husband's car with Brillo and Ajax... Think: it could be worse.

                              After seeing that mess I and how much product you lost, I fell for yah man...
