For those that have not tried it, that Dawn Powerwash is the last thing you will ever need to clean windows and mirrors in your home and auto...zero streaking and no residue.

Honestly, the stuff works pretty good.

I'll have to give it a try. Even if I 'windex' with newspaper or lint free rags, it still leaves a residue/streaks on the car window (non smoker). To get past that, after a windex, I wipe the window with rubbing alcohol (sprayed on the rag as to not get it on the dashboard).

 

[WrkBoot]

AAAAA where do you find newspaper

 

[EarthDog]

LOL, good point.. ha! I'll pick up the freebies around town. I have a stash that mostly used for shipping fill, but double as window wipes, lol.

Use sparingly on a damp cloth and wipe off with another damp cloth followed by dry paper or microfiber towel. Stuff works great on stained tire sidewalls as well.

You know we use that soap in our house. But that stuff would work great to clean MB'S fans etc.

What kind of connector does it use to hook up to your PC??? Is it sata ? ??

 

[WhitehawkEQ]

44 pin IDE to 40 pin IDE

44 pin IDE connector for 2.5 HHD/SSD



40 pin ATAIDE (PATA)

I get I had something like before it could hook up IDE SATA & SSD'S I don't know what I did with it.

Funny, I did not know there was such a thing as a PATA IDE SSD. I thought all SSDs were SATA. Learn something new every day.

2.5 and 3.5 HHD SATA drives all have the same connector so no need for adapter but with PATA 2.5 and 3.5 drives you do 2.5 44 pin to 3.5 40 pin.

Oh, ok I just never herd of PATA before.

Way to make me feel old!

They were ribbon cables that connected the drives instead of the small SATA cables. You also had to deal with master/slave/primary/secondary/cable select jumper positions and such as well.

So much better nowadays

That was a long time ago.

I use this adapter to use old 40 pin PATA drives with new MB's. Both Newegg and Amazon carry TREDnet adapter same as Vantec.
