Buffing Out Stone Chips and Watermarks with 7424 Buffer
We took the Bimmer for a looooong drive from Massachusetts, to Niagara Falls, NY, back down and around the great lakes through PA, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, up to Madison, Wisconsin.
It was freezing cold and snowing in Madison, so we wasted no time, we dipped back down into Illinois, and then came up toward Chicago and around the great lakes again, back to Niagara Falls, and from there into Ontario, Canada.
There was a lot of construction everywhere. When we came home the needed to be buffed with my 7424 Porter Cable random dual action orbital polisher.
Took 3 1/2 (glorious hours) to buff out very fine stone chips from the hood. I used Meguiar's Scratch X followed by Turtle "Black Box" with the orange pad. Somehow we got "sandblasted". I also have white paint spray/splatter along the right rocker panels front to almost back. That I haven't worked on yet.

Sighting of the Month: Plum Crazy SRT8?
A Plum Crazy SRT8? The color is Plum Crazy, and the badge on the trunk lid says "SRT8" (I believe?). Well, I took a double take. Only 300 built of these beauties. This one was sighted on I-291 West headed toward Springfield, Massachusetts. I only saw it from the rear. Never caught up to pass in my Ram.
Are my eyes tricking me? Or is this a Plum Crazy SRT8 (trunk badge!).

On-A-Shoestring-Budget Fix for Scratches on Radio's LCD Display...
Unfortunately there were some scratches on the surface of the LCD display screen of my Dodge Charger's radio right out of the show room when I bought it.
LCD screens are very sensitive, and should NEVER be wiped with a paper towel, napkin, or even terry cloth. These types of material are way too harsh, and if there is as little as one grain of sand or dust particle as you wipe, you might as well use a Brillo pad, it will permanently mar the surface just the same. Once they are in there, they are permanent.
I am not aware of any products that will safely, and satisfactorily buff out scratches on an LCD screen. However, I have been told there are some home remedies, and products on the market*. I have not tried any of them, but came up with a different fix... Then again, fix isn't the right word here, it's more of a clever patch-up...
2.) Get a piece of white paper, a pen or pencil, and a pair of scissors.
That's all you need!
Take the sheet of paper and get an imprint of the LCD window. All you have to do is hold the paper perfectly in place with one hand, and rub it it with your other hand (thumb) to create an imprint mold.
Trace the pattern with a pen. You can use the screen protector cardboard package insert as a ruler to keep your lines straight.
Measure the screen length and width on grid, then trim the grid to screen size.
Wipe the LCD display screen with the the special dry cloth that was included in the display protectors package to remove oil, or dust. Peel the corner away from the grid backing, being careful not to touch the sticky surface of the LCD protectant foil (you don't want finger prints or lint on there!). Hold the display protector from the corners while applying to LCD using the handy little plastic smoothing card that also came in the pack.
Try to position the strip right from the beginning, as it makes the application a lot easier. However, you CAN reposition the protectant film by gently lifting and reapplying it, if necessary.
And PRESTO, here is your new, scratch free LCD screen.
*Final remarks:
I have heard about a product called CD 2000 that buffs scratches out of plastic, and it may work for lighter scratches. Someone else suggested using toothpaste, soft pencil eraser, or Brasso. I never gave these suggestions a try as I don't know whether it may actually worsen the problem. I feel using the screen protector film is a better solution, and more beneficial, since it also protects the screen from more scratches.

Charger of the Month February 2009:MSP Dodge Charger Unit # 492
Massachusetts State Police (MSP) is an organization with an incredibly rich history and well known for their patrol vehicles in French and electric blue assuring the Commonwealth's public and highway safety. The Charger of this month is the MSP 2006 Dodge Charger R/T unit # 492, located at the MSP police barracks in Springfield, MA. Of all the Charger's I have seen this probably is the most famous one (YouTube), except NASCAR.

Massachusetts Winter 2009 - The Battery Killer!
2006 Go Mango Charger in the Snow!
This Massachusetts Winter has been extremely icy. Naturally, like every year, I keep my Dodge Charger Daytona R/T "Go ManGo" off the salty and pot hole riddled streets as much as possible. The Charger stays in the garage! However, it seems not cranking, and driving it for a while takes its toll on the the battery when it is this cold. I had to use the jumper cables to get the car to start a couple of times this winter already. The battery was completely dead.
Luckily, the Charger's battery is located in the trunk, so jump starting it is not a big problem. I just pull my Dodge Ram truck close to the garage, open the trunk, and hook it up. It takes a few minutes of idling the truck, but after a few tries, the Charger, so far, has always come back to live. Of course, the clock needs to be reset to the correct time, the radio stations need to be reprogrammed, and the compass needs to recalibrate itself (it always throws a SW-Cal, or NE-Cal code, depending on which direction I first take off). I'll be glad when spring returns - hopefully soon.

Charger of the Month January 2009:Littleton Police Chargers - WOW!!!!!
Wach out for these "bad boys"! And yes, they got a HEMI. Click the white arrow in the center to start plying the clip.
The Littleton, MA police department proudly boasts three 2008 Dodge Police Chargers, with more 2009's on the way (all of them HEMI powered cars). Littleton will be going to all Chargers over the next few years, phasing out their Crown Vics.
The Chargers are simple, but mean looking with their full push bars, Whelen light bars, and custom decals. They do regular enforcement on I-495, Rte.2, Rte.110, Rte.119. There is reflective blue striping around the "big" police and the blue in the main stripe is also reflective along with all the white lettering. They look awesome at night. But speeders beware! Don't let them spot YOU first.
