Its life Jim, but not as we know it.

Aint life a pain, felt well enough to work on a couple of my US cop cars tht i have been doing for well over a year.

Both shells are pained, varnished, decaled and i used kleer on the clear parts, i thought i would get rid of finger prints etc by washing in soapy water, anyway the clear parts have gone milky and yucky, ruined. is there a way to fix this?

Help!

Soak in your favorite oven cleaner to strip the Kleer, wash wish soap and water, then wipe down with alcohol (not the drinking kind either!). Also, are you spraying or dipping the Kleer? Was it a particularly humid day? Sometimes that will cause the milky effect if you spray on a humid day. Dipping doesn't require atomizing the Kleer, so the humidity shouldn't be as much of an issue, but try to wait for a good dry day if possible. Hope this helps. Michael

You washed it after the Kleer? You partially stripped the Kleer coat with the soap. Next time, wash the parts, after they're dry coat with Kleer, handle minimally. hth

Julian,

I first have to apologize if this seems a repost, I can't get confirmation my first submission was posted so I'm trying again.

Anyway, before stripping the Kleer (Future), try the following which have worked for me. Kleer will cloud if exposed to or contacted with water or high humidity. Sometime as the water/moisture evaporates, the cloudiness will disappear. It may take a few days in a dry environment. If this doesn't work, try reapplying a light coat of Kleer. This seems to work also, because as the moisture evaporates from the curing Kleer, it leave microscopic pits or bubbles which cause the cloudiness. The reapplication seems to fill in these blemishes restoring transparency.

Good Luck!

well remember for next time........

My memory is shot to pieces due to my meds, and how daft it seems i often forget to take them, so either take none, or take 2-3 times too many.

I forget when im alone, so take more incase i missed them, then when i take too many i get a huge long lasting 'stonk on', maybe lasts 3 hours (not viagra) trouble is when my GF is here and reminds me its normal.....bit of a bugger.

dose it out and cart it. keeps you from losing it. just take it first thing each morning or at least same time every day. if it's all set in the same place, you can train yourself.

Hi Julian,

Relating to you not sure what pills you've taken I have in the past from free catalogues in newspapers in the UK seen a pill box that is designed to open every day of the week and at a set time, with locks on the other compartments ensuring you cannot over-subscribe, unlike model kits!!

Let me know if you have difficulty tracing product and see I'll see what I can find out... hhmmm, is my Mum still getting things from Avon?
