Question for you Paul

[fenbass]

Fender makes a color restor product made by the same people that make scratch x is it the same? I use this product on my Fenders to remove swirls and it looks just like scratch x. If it is it might be a good altertintive when all the scratch x runs out ......John

Good question, John. I know Fender and Meguiar's have been partnered* for a couple of years at least.

I'll have to grab a bottle and put it through its paces.

Has anyone else tried this stuff?

*"Partnered": another of those Harvard Business School noun-to-verb conversions that are soooo friggin' irritating...

Did they come up with partied/party, partying as well?

Hmmm ... how could a term coined in 1611

Regardless of when it was coined, Gary, it was not in common usage (at least in my own lifetime) until the mid-'90s, when out of the clear blue, everybody in the sales office at my firm was suddenly using it.


Maybe my accreditation of it to HBS was facetious, but I'm not sorry...more than any other institution, HBS is responsible for the dehumanization of the workplace in this country.

Harvard, eh?

No time for the business news, I gotta merger my piggy bank with the funds from my cushion account (the sofa, that is) because the bear market rally (the corner market, that is) has downsized my bank account and negatively impacted my consumer robustness (and downturned my eating habits).
