Hey mike,

Thanks again for the awesome book, but I had one suggestion... a minor one =). Instead of a cup for measuring, I just bought a ring of those plastic measuring spoons at a supermarket for like 2-3 bucks. I took just the ring and the tablespoon and attached the ring onto one of my wash buckets. 2 tablespoons = 1 ounce =).

That's a great idea. I'm not terribly good with measurements so I had no idea that 2 tablespoons=1 oz. Good to know! One thing I would like to mention is that the plastic cup method I suggest is much more cost effective because a single plastic cup which you probably have around your house anyway costs about $0.01 of course I'm sure your measuring spoons are pretty cheap too.

As I metioned in an earlier post the book is really about the way I detail S2000s. There are certainly 100 different ways to do it, but the book is already 85 pages and easily could have been 2-3 times that long had I included everyone's methods.

Personally, I have stayed away from using diluted Woolite in my interior cleaning because I believe as its intended use involves rinsing after cleaning it leaves a residue on fabrics when not rinsed which attracts dust/dirt and makes more frequent cleaning necessary.

I also do not use Woolite on leather. See this thread from our local leather guru . . .

In the original draft, the final chapter was "How to Crack Open a Cold One"

I just spent the last hour and a half reading through the whole thing. Some parts more than once. I'm still in the process of slowly buying my materials. I'm hoping to have a large part of them before winter hits.

This gave me a lot of great tips of what to look for and what to expect.

It's an amazing write up and I thank you for it. I hope to become a W&WW in the near future.

Thanks again.
