Zippppppppppppppppppppppyyyyyyyyyyyyy's

sig line says

"My wife said "No you can't use the dishwasher to clean hubcaps!"
I said hmmm....parts washer....my mom always said engage brain before operating mouth...now I know why"



Dude the dishwasher is great for all sorts of parts.

When you have about 8 dirty airfilters from dirt bikes, do a load of them as well.

And the oven is great for drying ceramic paint and such as well.

When she goes shopping, or takes an outting with friends just do them then.

What you are not caught doing by the wife, does not count.

Funny thing is she told me I couldn't use it before the thought ever entered my head. So in my books if I use it to clean parts it's her fault cause she brought it up in the first place.
