I have a question.......we had some major flooding where I live this past weekend..........my car, parked outside of the garage had water up past the doors.........so when I opened the doors to get in water rushed in.......the floor was covered.......and the water soaked into the seats............now it is dry yet still has this dirty
Make sure you pull out the drain plugs under the mat (your owner's manual should tell you where they are, exactly), use a wet/dry vacuum on the seats, and much as you dislike the smell, kitty litter is great for absorbing. Better to live with that smell for a little while than risk having a mold problem, which could make you sick enough you have to miss work or other outings.
I'm sure there are better solutions, but I don't know them. Sorry.

Oh, and by the way: thanks to whoever suggested I cut my boxes up
No problem. Glad to help. By the way, if possible, it's best to recycle cardboard. Your waste management company should be able to tell you if there is a collection point in your area.

It is square, flush with the wall, It has a square piece of glass with a metal frame. The frame is not removable. The bulb is under the glass, but I can't figure out how to get to it.
Thanks
Nadine, I have what they call "can lights" in my ceiling. They look like you describe, only round. It looks as if the frame is not removable, but it really does pull down far enough for you to get to the bulb. Have you tried just pulling straight out on the frame? It may be stiff, because there may be wires holding the frame into the "can" that the light is in. My frames are plastic and sometimes get old and brittle and I have to replace them.
See if that helps.
shallbe
Thank you so much for responding Esther. The frames are plastered to the wall with many, many years of paint. (My house is 30 years old.) I actually sat for 1/2 hour trying to slide the glass or move it in some way. No luck. I guess I will have to call anothers honey to do it.
Thanks for the help,
Blessings!

Help! MY one year old baby has a rust. It's the size of a the letter O. It's tiny but I'm afraid it's going to grow. Ugh. I hate seeing it. Is there anyway to get rid of it without painting the whole vehicle. I love this baby, lol, and I wouldn't want it to get rusted too early. It's only one year old.

Less iron in your baby's diet is what you need. Infants don't usually get rust spots!
Seriously, though...
Your local body shop should be able to paint just that little spot. They ought to have some sort of system for matching the color. Of course, they'll likely tell you that the best practice is to get a new clear-coat, but that's not absolutely necessary. However, you may have to have them do this spot every once in a while.
You can protect your car's finish by washing (with or without waxing) it to keep salts and other paint-damaging susbtances off. This is particularly important near the sea or in cold areas where they often salt the roads in winter.
Someone else can probably give better advice than mine, though. As I said, I don't know much about cars.

Thanks. I hope they don't charge me a fortune for this. I was thinking of taking this to the dealer. It's just a couple of tiny rust spot right on the back door and it's grown a little bit. I'm so bad when it comes to washing my car in the winter. Would you believe I've washed it maybe 10 times since I got it a year and a half ago. So far, there's no rust anywhere else, though after this winter, I might take it to get it completely rust proofed.

Honey, can you help me with the car? Here's the problem. Over the past 3 weeks, my car has "cut off" 3 times. I've been able to start the car again with no problem. All three times it has happened when my car has been idling - but the wierd part is there has been no real pattern about it. I've idled before and since with no problem. I changed my battery about 3 or 4 years ago. The last time this happened, I checked under the hood and noticed that the little metal thingy that connects the battery to the rest of the car seemed a little loose. I tried to tighten it the best that I could and I haven't had a problem since - but I'm concerned that maybe something else could be wrong. Maybe I need to change the battery? I don't know if it is the alternator - I had that go out on my last car - but when it went - it just ... went.
So honey, sweetie, darling  could you help me with the car?
Aw shucks, RGod, just get ready for us'n to go to the steakhouse.
Usually the battery problems just make the car harder to start, and if it cranks up nice just like usual, that's not your problem. Have you ever bought a small bottle of fuel injector cleaner from somewhere and added it to a full tank of gas. You might have dirt, or moisture in your gas tank that's giving the engine a hiccup. My car just did that pullling in to the spot at church, and I'm wondering if my car has cooked its second distributor, because it is really acting strangely. Probably something for the shop to check out if a cleaner bottle doesnt' take care of it.
Battery 'health'? Do you see any greenish 'glop' on the negative terminal (corrosion like a battery in a radio or something for too long). If you see that, you can pour some generic cola on it and the drink will eat it off. That plus carefully brushing it off with an old toothbrush and EYE PROtection. very imp. If your battery has caps, you can see where they can be loosened, and to see if there 's fluid in the batter that covers that corrugated stuff in there. That's good to do too.
Best wishes!

I hear you can now get Rhino Liner (sp?) in a variety of colors... so you could get the whole vehicle done and never worry about rust again... though it would be pretty expensive, I'd imagine.

No. You cannot "google" it.
It's a heavy-duty lining you often see on pick-em-up truck beds. It's designed to handle a lot of wear and tear and not scratch or flake like paint + clearcoat.

Skrey, will it make my baby look all strange and all? I don't understand all that lingo. I'm still a girly girl when it comes to stuff like that. I'll pass by my dealer to see what he says.
We have one of the harshest winter in Canada and I really want to do something about the rust. Our streets are covered with salt all winter. I don't normally make a big fuzz about my vehicle, but since it's so new, I want to take care of it a little better. Who knows, I might have to sell it one day and I'd like to keep it in good shape to increase the resale value. Well, the way it's going, I've put in almost 22500 miles in less than 1.5 year. I think my mileage is already to high to expect it to sell for a decent price. Not that I'm selling it, lol.

It'll make it less shiny, and a little bumpy, I think, but no more scratches or rusting! :)
I can't say what it would do to the resale value.

Thanks OneJohn - I'll try to get a bottle of this tomorrow. Is there any brand that you'd recommend? Do you fill up the tank first then add the cleaner (or do you add the cleaner first)? I guess I could just follow the instructions on the back of the bottle. I'll also check out the battery for the greenish glop or for loose caps. If my car starts - the steakhouse is definitely on! How do you like your steak - rare, medium rare, well done?
Thanks again - rgod

If you see that, you can pour some generic cola on it and the drink will eat it off. That plus carefully brushing it off with an old toothbrush and EYE PROtection. very imp. If your battery has caps, you can see where they can be loosened, and to see if there 's fluid in the batter that covers that corrugated stuff in there. That's good to do too.
Best wishes!

Thanks OneJohn - I'll try to get a bottle of this tomorrow. Is there any brand that you'd recommend? Do you fill up the tank first then add the cleaner (or do you add the cleaner first)? I guess I could just follow the instructions on the back of the bottle. I'll also check out the battery for the greenish glop or for loose caps. If my car starts - the steakhouse is definitely on! How do you like your steak - rare, medium rare, well done?
Thanks again - rgod
I suspect they usually work about the same... I've been using one by gumout on mine, every oil change you get a new bottle of the stuff.
Those battery caps... if they are loose, that's not good at all. I'm thinking you'd need a flat-blade screwdriver to carefully pry them off the battery (remember eye protection), so you can see down inside the battery. It's a little intimidating at first looking at that battery acid, but, once you do it once, there's nothiing scary about it after that. Just tap those caps back down flat to the battery again after. Hey... when checking fluids, it's also great to brush off the area around where you are working... so some whatever solid doesn't go into a liquid container. Old rag works great.
Hope your vroomm vroomm gets better.

Help! MY one year old baby has a rust. It's the size of a the letter O. It's tiny but I'm afraid it's going to grow. Ugh. I hate seeing it. Is there anyway to get rid of it without painting the whole vehicle. I love this baby, lol, and I wouldn't want it to get rusted too early. It's only one year old.
Hey Prairiehiker,
I like the idea of having it painted. I'm also wondering if you'd want to check out if there's any optional trimwork you can have attached to the car. Where it is rusting, do you have a guess as to what got that started? A thrown stone from a tire? Maybe there's a little winter conversion kit you can get that would keep the salty slush ice off of it where it gets sprayed the most? That Rhino-guard would make your SUV look like a rhino... its a spray-on truck bed liner. U G L Y, your baby'd have no alibi.
If there's fender-guards, or something that would help, that you wouldn't have to leave on in the summer if you didn't want, and that you'd include with the vehicle at trade in, it could be a good thing.
Now if appearances weren't terriblly important, a strip or two of duct tape and magic marker to blend it to the car color would take care of things in a heartbeat.
