Hey just s heads up on something I've found useful

For over a decade I've used iKlear on my apple products. I am not a big believer in screen cleaners as they're typically water and scent but iKlear adds a synthetic wax in and is considered a mild polish. I've also done a ton of double blind tests administered by others and can absolutely tell when I've clean the screen or phone or whatever with it.


So you're wondering why I'm banging on about a screen cleaner for Apple products in here. Well the other thing I've used it for is my laptops both titanium and aluminum. the reason is as we rest hands down on the palm rest area or over the trackpad you get those deep kind of oily looking wear to it.

As far as it goes with phones I also clean the back of my aluminum phones with it because it can kind of help prevent against not just fingerprints but also like on the watch it can prevent some dirt collecting but also can help if you have a mild impact as it helps you skip off rather than crunching into.

so I've used on my Apple products for over a decade I've used it on aluminum and titanium so it occurred to me that maybe I should try it on the cc mod and see if it lessens the frequency with which I have to clean or generally improves appearance.

it's been about a week and I would say think it's a big thumbs up

2 important things to know

A) more is not better.

B) Because it's a wax substance if you let it dry you can be a real pain to get off as it turns kind of a milky white. it's the same thing with your screen. definitely look at the directions.

I do a wipe around with my finger which of course has to be clean and then I buff it off with a microfiber

I've been using it that way for over a decade and I have to say that my aluminum products always look almost perfect when I resell them and I do credit that in part to this product.

so for those who may care for tip top cleaning ir s bit if preventative care - give it a shot. I also think it adds a nice really refined matte sheen with that slight wax over it. it doesn't create a polished shine. it doesn't make it hard to hold. It makes it smooth like glass but not slippery and the mild sheen really accents brushed finishes

You get so much for $20 you'll be having super clean screen and mods for a tear off one purchase and he microfiber that cokes with rhe twi bottle kit for $20 is very very nice too. The twi bottle is a big one and microfiber and a travel size bottle and microfiber. Works great on spectacles too. I like to use the sonic cleaner dry and apply

And for what it's worth I'm at 25 your technologist and an absolute skeptic of everything in life. Aka cynic. it took me a lot of testing before I was willing to admit that this was any better than vinegar and water but it's quite clear after using it the feel indicates that there's more to it than just water backed up with a list of ingredients.

I would suggest that you probably want to do this two or three times a week maybe every other day depends how much you handle your mod right now I only do it about once a week but I'm going to step it up. It takes literally less than a minute.

I'm sure some of you have the stuff lying around so check it out and I hope this is useful



** just saw all the iPhone autocorrect errors. Sorry about hat. Should be mostly corrected.


This is a link to the product and configuration id buy. The worst case scenario is you don't think it does anything for the mod but you have the best screen cleaner on the market for your phones tablets and computers. I have tried a lot of other products in this category and I do not recommend any single one other than this in case that wasn't clear

Wait... I thought that was what your shirt or pants leg was for? Why would you ever need a cleaner? Sounds like just another reason to put money into the Ipockets is all to me, but what do I know?

This explains so much here!!!

Sure.

If you're eating on a budget.

Filet or bust. It's great for large BBQs. :thumbs:

Filet has no fat. Fat = delicious. It's the entire reason marbled cuts are so prized. A whole filet briefly seared on the grill then wrapped in interwoven bacon(fat) blanket finished in the oven served with bleu cheese butter is the only way I'll ever eat a filet. Otherwise it's a weak meat. I'd rather skirt steak over filet straight.....

So its funny, the lemon ice box pie description was making my mouth water so i decided to look it up, and i found out i have had an iteration of it a ton growing up. My mother used to make what she called Cheese Pie cause she used cream cheese with hers and often put strawberrys over the top, but the rest is the same being lemon juice, lemon zest, eagle brand condensed milk, grahm crust and no bake just refrigerate for hours. Now in light of your posting im going to make one of the other recipes.

A good cheesecake (cheese pie) does have lemon in it. Just not so much as you would directly notice. Lemon Ice Box pie is very strong on the lemon. Yummy stuff!

Is anyone else ridiculously preoccupied with this election cycle... :oops:

Lord help us.... :facepalm:
Yup, it's all I hear on the radio in my shop and on the tv at home. I'll be glad when it's over, but then again, I might not be so glad. Have to wait and see.

I personally am rather disappointed seeing what I used to consider good people, participating in the spreading of lies and hate mongering. This is not dependent upon party, either.

If you say to yourself "what if someone did/said this to me?" and you don't like it, then you shouldn't do it.

The second time?!?!? And you dabbed???
Yeah. It's hot! At that point the dab doesn't matter. Haha. 100% pain is the worst because it's not an extract and 357 mad dog tastes so bad imho. Smells like it's going to be good. Nope. It gets better in 30 minutes with some milk.

Their sauce(hot ones) is really good and perfect heat for me.

I did it with my buddy and my son's wanted to do it so.......

(Edit sorry not the second time tonight. Buddy and I did it a few weeks ago)

So sad that nearly nobody knows how to properly prepare the most tender cut of steak.

I feel sad for folks depending on bacon, hollandaise and bolognaise to make filet palatable.

The best fat for steak is beef fat.

If you're incapable of making a filet mouth watering, get your butcher to throw in some fat with it for free.

Used to not really be able to do that but with recent trends in "healthy eating", and more people wanting leaner cuts, there should be plenty available.

Properly prepared, filet should be succulent and served with only a spoon to cut it.

This has to be the most disgusting election in my lifetime. Neither candidate is worthy of being the Commander in Chief for this great nation, in my opinion!!! A criminal and a sexual predator. Worst choices we've ever had.:(

Beck, totally get what you're saying. Filet is very tender but, the flavor isn't there for me. Even with additions. I prefer chicken thighs to chicken breasts for the same reason.

The only thing I put on good cuts is a little olive oil, generous coarse salt and pinch pepper. (Clarified butter after grilling too if you like, the secret of every steakhouse)

Not saying I'd turn down filet but, I'm picking almost any other cut over it for the money.

Skirt is one of my favorites because of the fat content. Use to be dirt cheap and then everyone caught on. Skirt needs some loving though. Have a great marinade for that.
