11/1/2022 0 Comments Rejex wheel sealant![]() ![]() Thanks to everyone for your ideas on this subject. Since the wheels are clear coated on the outside, it would make sense to treat them as any other painted surface, and in this case use a more agressive compound, etc., and see if it comes off.Ĭan you post a picture of it ? Good luck. I have never heard of brake dust on so hard that it cant be taken off. Previously, I used their Z-5 product and had similar results.Īs long as the factory puts those soft pads on there, we will ever have brake dust challenges, but the trade off is that they stop great, cold or hot -(within reason). They now make an All-In-One product that has a mild cleaner and the acrylic polymer in one step that on a clean wheel, really helps keep the brake dust from sticking, in my experience on our vehicles. I found a pretty good acrylic polymer that doesnt appear to melt in heat like waxes, etc., its called Zaino. I dont know what Rejex is, but will try to find out. My experience with Bimmer wheels since '01 hasīeen to clean them weekly if you drive it weekly, and keep something on them that wont melt because of heat. I think the Klasse treatment will make the next cleaning go a lot quicker. This should protect them pretty well till the RejeX arrives. After buffing them down smooth as glass, I applied Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze, let them dry for half an hour, then buffed them out. I spent a few hours today, first using a wheel cleaner solution (safe for all wheels) to get most of the "stuck" dust, then using Klasse All-in-One - which did a very good job of removing all residual stubborn brake dust. I did that on my Volvo and it solved the dust problem. I may have to switch to some ceramic pads if I can find any that fit this model. These BMW brakes really make a mess fast. Just ordered some RejeX and will definitely treat them a couple of times. Tomorrow I will hit them with some Klasse All-in-One, and if necessary a steam cleaner. Most dust came off, but there are still raised "specks" of black (you can feel it with your finger) stuck to the inner flat rim surfaces. How wrong I was - at least on the fronts. So I figured the wheels wouldn't be too difficult to clean. My 535i just turned 1 month old and 1K miles. JGĭue to rather cold weather, I have been remiss in cleaning my wheels until today. I'll see if I can find the 3M stuff around Boston, and give that a try. As noted, the rear wheels show none of this malady. ExGMan has driven the car since new (now 23,000 miles on the ODO), and has what I would describe as an "accelerate up to the stoplight, then brake" style of drivng. I'm wondering if there's something going on with heat on the wheel. Somehow, there is something which is turning the dust into what I'd describe as almost a glaze. ![]() The P21s was very effective at removing the normal BMW brake dust. Use a soft 100% cotton towel or microfiber cloth to avoid damaging the paint. Maybe trying some of that would give a positive result(?). I use 3M general purpose adhesive cleaner for removing tar and gunk from my vehicles paint/wheels. ↑ I am surprised that the brake dust is so difficult to remove given your previous exceptional maintenance and only two weeks time from the last cleaning. I imagine that the front wheels get warmer in their daily drives, so that perhaps that has something to do with the difficulty. Your suggestions and solutions are gratefully accepted. I am hoping that some reader has seen this same condition before, and has found a solution which won't destroy the finish of the wheels. Some have suggested that I use "Goof-Off" on these wheels, but that seems pretty Draconian, so I'm holding off. That made the clay pretty dirty, but the wheels were still cruddy.Ģ) in a little corner of one wheel I tried WD-40. Solutions attempted: 1) first I tried Griot's Garage clay (with lots of lubricant). All was fine until I missed the weekly wheel-cleaning, and now those fronts (rears are just fine), have what I'd call the black/brown glaze. Candidly, non-BMW people would consider these wheels clean.īefore the winter, I cleaned the wheels with P21s (Gel) every week, then put ReJex! on each wheel just before the winter began. That said, I now have two wheels (fronts) which are not responding to dust/crud-removal treatment, in that they've got almost a black/brown glaze in the flat surfaces of the wheels, but mostly between the five spokes. ExGMan's bimmer, primarily due to travel. I made the mistake of going two weeks between major cleaning/washing/detailing of the wheels on Mrs. ![]()

The sound library, with almost 50 free options, seems overwhelming at first, especially when I realized that the list includes all the free and premium sounds (just over 100 in total), and you can’t filter out by this criterion. ![]() The track, called “eternity,” was a nice start to my experience with Relax Melodies. The free version: As soon as you open the app, a preset mix-a soothing combination of birds, ocean sounds, and music-starts playing. Relax melodies bluetooth controls full#For full access (which includes far more than just sound machine features), users have to cough up a steep, recurring annual fee of $59.99 after a week-long free trial. But for users to access the full spread premium features, this app is also the most expensive. The free version of the app has a lot to offer-more than any of the other free apps I tried, and even than one of the paid versions I checked out. Relax Melodies: Sleep Sounds has the most aesthetically pleasing interface of the apps I tried, and is also more intuitive than the others. The sound library on Relax Melodies: Sleep Sounds doesn't allow you to sort free sounds from the ones that are only available on the paid version. Below, my findings, from my top pick on down. Despite the uniformity of some features, each app had pros and cons, whether it be sheer budget-friendliness, the breadth of sounds available, or a more intuitive interface for finding and blending sounds together.Ī clear favorite-and a close second-emerged after I used them all, though each one has points where it shines, as well as its own drawbacks. ![]() For those who use their phone as their daily alarm, two of the apps have internal alarm features, and the iPhone’s native alarm and clock app can override sound playing from all three. I listened to each via my phone’s built-in speakers, a pair of Beats Solo 3 over-ear headphones, as well as on a JBL Flip 3 Bluetooth Speaker, and an Amazon Echo Dot.Įach of the apps offers background play, meaning the app doesn’t need to be open for sound to continue playing timers that you can set to turn off the sound after a designated period, from minutes to hours and the ability to create custom mixes by layering various sounds, like frogs croaking while a stream babbles on. ![]() Relax melodies bluetooth controls for android#I tried the free and paid versions of three popular sound machine apps available on the Apple App Store: White Noise Lite and White Noise, Relax Melodies: Sleep Sounds, and Sleep Orbit on my iPhone 7 Plus (these are all available for Android on Google Play as well). But some smartphone apps claim to turn your phone into a portable, customizable-and effective-sound machine, particularly if you pair your phone with a Bluetooth speaker or smart speaker, which improves the sound quality dramatically. Those machines are great and arguably the best option for this purpose. Many people rely on dedicated sound machines to create a soothing, low-distraction environment. Plus, while working from home, white noise as a steady background sound can help you focus throughout the day. Drowning out sounds that can disrupt your sleep is a great way to maximize your night, without having to keep asking whomever you live with-partner, roommate, kids-to quiet down. ![]() 11/1/2022 0 Comments Heave ho thomas dvd![]() ![]() ![]() Join Thomas, James, Percy, Bulgy, Bill and Ben, Fergus, Gordon, Arthur, Murdoch, Harvey, Salty, Duncan, Rusty and the Fat Controller for more fun-packed adventures on the Island of Sodor.

The asylum was built in the same style as many other Victorian institutional facilities. The campus was divided between a women’s side and a men’s side with a violent end and a non-violent end. Patients’ afflictions ranged from severe mental and physical handicaps to “nervousness”, “chronic” to “acute” insanity, “feeblemindedness”, and “lunacy.” ![]() The dreadful situations patients were arriving from coupled with the lack of understanding of mental disability meant that Willard essentially became a dumping ground for undesirables. One girl had been shackled in a cell since childhood, another patient arrived at Willard in a chicken crate. The theme of horrific neglect would follow in patients admitted later. She was a woman named Mary Rote, described as “demented and deformed”, who had spent ten years confined to an almshouse. Willard welcomed its first patient in 1869. Abraham Lincoln himself signed off on the proposal a mere six days before his death. ![]() Willard proposed a state-run hospital for the insane. ![]() In response to these squalid conditions, New York’s Surgeon General Dr. In the early 19th century, those without anyone to care for them and incapable of taking care of themselves were left to almshouses (basically shelters) which were overcrowded and under resourced. Though asylums often carry connotations of dark and torturous existences, Willard and other institutions like it were intended to be a better alternative to systems in place for taking care of the mentally ill. The stately Victorian buildings may be falling to pieces, but the contents inside them betray a lot about the sometimes happy, sometimes tragic lives of patients at Willard Asylum for the Chronic Insane. ![]() 10/31/2022 0 Comments Barefoot dreams poncho![]() ![]() With global warming, water restrictions are often applied in an attempt to save the precious liquid.

While this does fix the problem, it also makes the game more difficult by giving Mario slightly less space to move around. In JP Set 1, this bug was fixed by changing Mario's maximum X position from 234 to 229. If he falls through the lowest set of construction beams, his Y position overflows to 0, which counts as beating the level. If Mario is at X position 207 and jumps to the right, he'll bounce off the right side of the screen and fall through the floor. In JP Set 3, there's a level-breaking bug on 25m.

It’s a common misperception that meditation is a long, complicated practice in a quiet environment. If you combine diaphragmatic breathing with meditation, you can also mitigate your stress response, lowering blood pressure, heart rate and cortisol (stress hormone) production. One study, from the University of Washington, even showed an increase in the ability to multitask.

You can easily integrate yoga into your workday in subtle ways that deliver big benefits – without freaking out your co-workers or requiring pretzel-like flexibility.

Thankfully, more companies are not only recognizing the health dangers of prolonged sitting, but also the negative impact on productivity and morale. This small change of habit can make a big difference to your posture and alleviate aches and pains.Even if you aren’t an office worker, if your career demands long bouts of desk sitting, you can relate to symptoms such as brain fog, anxiety, poor posture, back pain and lower-body lethargy. You might only be able to reach your wrists or forearms with each hand, but hold them there for as long as you can and you’ll start to feel a stretch across the front of the shoulders, chest and down the spine. Next time you go to cross your arms, try to cross them behind your back instead. But the weight of those relaxed arms is actually rolling your shoulders forwards and putting added strain on the neck and upper back. ![]() Getting into new healthy habits is something worth doing immediately, and you can thank us - and Lauren - in about 30 years from now!Ĭrossing your arms in front of your chest is a common resting posture and something many of us do without even realising. Gasser provided five simple exercises for poker players - or for anyone who spends too long sitting down - that can be done while either seated at an office chair, or during the five-minute tournament break every hour. So rolling the shoulders back, twisting the spine, stretching the hamstrings, will all help to prevent the body from essentially stagnating.” “Muscles and joints want to move, they need to stretch and be worked in order to stay healthy and keep functioning as they should. “Aside from the obvious suggestion of getting up more often, and the often unworkable option of swapping your chair for a stability ball or cushion, just moving will make a big difference to your physical wellbeing, even while seated,” Gasser says. But she also says that it’s possible to do some stretching exercises while sitting at a desk that can help with circulation, strength and flexibility - as well as all-over well-being. Gasser visits offices across the capital and offers a chance for workers to break away from their desks at the end of an eight-hour shift, and help to undo the damage done by a sedentary lifestyle. She adds: “In Asian countries, where it is still customary to sit cross legged or squat on the floor, older generations have far superior mobility and spinal health than those of us who always sit on chairs or sofas.” “We are compressing our vertebrae, restricting movement in the hamstrings, putting huge pressure on our hips and encouraging our shoulders to roll forwards.” ![]() “Sitting on a chair all day, even one with professed lumbar support, is detrimental to our bodies in several ways,” says Lauren Gasser, a London-based yoga instructor, who focuses particularly on mental health and well-being.
