CDDZ or Halopunker,
I went to Lowes today to get Noalox. Unfortunately all the people that work at my local Lowes have all had their brains removed. They know nothing. They only pick up paychecks there! Four different people sent me to 4 different departments. I even went to customer service. NO LUCK!
Can you tell me what department you found it in? Maybe - post of picture of the product so I can find it on my own.
Thanks!

Yes found Mine on the bottom shelf also in the electrical department. The bottle looks like a white elmers glue bottle with a blue lable if that helps.
Yes thats it, but you would only need the .5oz bottle, I have only used about 1oz on over 100 units so farYes found Mine on the bottom shelf also in the electrical department. The bottle looks like a white elmers glue bottle with a blue lable if that helps.
There are some small tubes next to the large bottle Got 2 of them as the bottle is huge8-o

Forget Lowes, they're so stupid it's a wonder they can remember to breath. Just order it online, you're likely to get some stuff that's the wrong thing, like the idiot at Lowes sold me, a silicone POWDER for locks, real fine powdery stuff that will cause your SB to seize up. The soap trick worked for me though and solved the problem after this second issue. Ugh! I just ordered the NoALOX from Amazon.
As far as polishing, yes, the Mother's stuff is amazing, but it leaves a nasty smell/taste on the SB, which is kind of annoying. But it sure is pretty.
I'd like a black bullet too, and a blue one and a red one and oh what the heck, a gold one too while you're at it please Santa.

I think maybe Lowes actually seeks out people with no brains themselves so they can pay them minimum wage. A lot of stores do that these days, you can't get anything resembling professionalism or intelligence anymore.
Do you have all those high voltage models pictured?
If so which one do you like the best?
Thanks, Paula
I'm sad/mad at myself. I was getting out of the car this evening, and my SB fell to the gravel driveway. I now have 3 little dents in it SMALL, but I know that they are there.
It looks like I will be on the look out for some high grit sand paper to shine it back up.

OH NOES! 1000grit will lessen the nicks, 2000 will get it ready for mothers polish. Mine has several battle scars.I'm sad/mad at myself. I was getting out of the car this evening, and my SB fell to the gravel driveway. I now have 3 little dents in it

Yep, I was thinking of 2000 grit, but having to use maybe around 800 then up to take them out.
I was also thinking about calling them battle scars also, and just leaving them be. Yet, the slick slick look of the SB is just perfection.

On my way out the door to go pick up some of the mothers polish when I remembered I had some Brasso somewhere. I found it and gave it a go on my SB. I bought mine used off this site and it hadn't really been maintained. Now with the exception of a few minor scratches it looks fantastic. Not bad for something I already had.
What exactly is the best means of getting rid of miniscule scratches? Nothing major, just extremely superficial scratches. Will the mother's polish alone work or should I use 2000 sand paper first? I'm all about ease & effectiveness.
Is there any special care instructions for the button. I remember reading that it doesn't last forever. What should I do if and when it goes bad?
Oh, plenty of people are amazed with the SB...I have given your business cards to them!!! Thanks again for providing us with it.
