and a toothbrush and my new can of SD-20.
I plucked this filthy but serviceable Hoover rubber coated wheeled floor nozzle from Crevicetool's pile of NC57 bits at the Convention. I have a brown one with my Aerodyne 51 yet always wanted one for the Constellations, too. Never found one around here; perhaps they were not a Canadian Hoover accessory? So, for $5 for a big bag of various parts and bits on the last day I could not resist no matter how far gone it appears. |

That is such a beautiful floor tool.. One of my favorite rug/floor nozzle designs! I wonder if some of the new Dyson rug/floor nozzles take some of their design cues from that Hoover nozzle.

Now spray it with Pledge and it will give it a bit of a shine and help protect it from yellowing. |

Yes Sir, Mr Clean. Exactly what I have in mind.
I have today off until 6PM so at last I am opening up all the boxes of stuff from the Convention, rediscovering what I gleaned and setting up a group shot, one of my ribbons & trophy machines and another of the new treasures. I ain't nowhere near done posting convention shots over in off topic. stay tuned. Speakin' of Mr Clean, I do believe we have a lookalike contest winner in massagemiracle's former avatar. Just sayin'...works for me. :-) Are those the arms of a 51 year old dedicated Power Lifter? Dave |

Holy Crap, that thing looks AMAZI NG!
I thought it was supposed to be brown but just had some dirt on it! Great results. |

Magic erasers are great. I detail cars and use them on light colored plastics and leather, nothing not even very strong chemicals clean deep down like they do! Great on leather and gentle too! |

Yes, I've seen it begin to remove surface colour if you bear down. When I was having a first go at the pink-top Lewyt Zephyr I stopped and lightened up my stroke. Switched to the SD20 and finished the job - no pink on the rag.
See, the magic eraser is a synthetic neoprene sponge that has a rubbery abrasive grip that removes the schmutz and a micro layer off the surface. That's how & why it works so well...and leaves a dull look behind. A good paste wax polish or Pledge wipe returns the surface shine. Like any spa method, it must be used judiciously as the situation dictates. I find magic eraser removes more completely and swiftly with less damage when soap & water or lighter fluid just doesn't cut it. Dave |
