Surely, if your on these forums, you know how amazing the stuff is on film. But what else is it good for?
Start listing your alternative uses!

Also, beware that everything posted here is only a suggestion, and obviously not the intended purpose for FG. So please don't hold anywhere here, or myself responsible for whatever shit you get yourself into by trying any of this. :x

Washing your car- Wet the car with soapy water on the soap cycle.
Spay on some FG, and use the foaming brush. You'll have to scrub pretty well to get it all off and not have the exterior of your vehicle smell like it -_-.
But it works excellent.
At one point, i bought some "Magic bar" crap from auto zone that apparently helped pull off twice as much dirt as you nomrally would be able to get off in a normal wash cycle.
It worked, but it still wasn't great. FG took absolutely all of the dirt off my clear coat.
No roughness at all [Big Grin]

Scratched discs- (especially handy in our booth, which for the time being, remains inhabited by teenagers that never heard of placing DTS discs back in their jewel cases)
use a VERY Small drop of FG to coat the entire surface of the disc. When i say very small, i mean VERY VERY VERY small. Pinhead amount. Otherwise your cd/dvd/bluray/sega CD etc player won't be able to read anything!

Also works great to clean up old vinyl records.

Your turn
