Take the shade down, and with dish soap and a brush, scrub the area until the paint comes off. Unfortunately, if you haven't been able to do it immediately, some of the paint color will remain. Not sure if a stain remover with petroleum in it will help, or if professional cleaning will be possible.

I don't know what kind of car you have, but if the headlights work in either the dim or bright mode, but not both, I would suspect the dimmer switch.

Can you or should you machine wash a sleeping bag?
Virtually all sleeping bags are machine washable and dryable, but check the care label for the manufacturer's recommendations. If washable, use a warm water wash and a gentle cycle. When machine drying down, place a clean pair of tennis shoes in the dryer with the bag. The shoes help to fluff up the down as the bag tumbles. Down bags dry slowly and must be dried completely to prevent mildewing. For larger and heavier bags, use the large capacity machines found in coin- operated laundries. [Info from the Home Maintenance And Repair Database at the Michigan State University website] Yes I have done this many many times. It takes a long time before they are dry.
Tip. Make from a satin sheet an insert in the sleeping bag, keeps the sleeping bag clean and inserts are much easier to wash then the sleeping bag. Why satin sheet, because if you turn around in the sleeping bag, the satin will turn with you.
How do you take paint off fabric?
To remove paint on almost any thing. Use a Q-tip with nail polish remover on it. Dap,( not soak ) the paint spot, change the Q-tip as needed. Go slow at first, you should test an area to see the reaction to the remover. If you dap directly on the paint very little remover will get on the material. I have been able to get paint off of leather, car interiors, clothes that have been washed and dried, carpet, brass, wood, and vinyl.

How do you get wood stain out of clothing?
Mineral spirits worked wonderfully to remove oil-based wood stain from a 100% polyester futbol jersey (Barcelona). It also had water-based paint on it. I chose to use the mineral spirits first to treat the wood stain by simply pouring a little on each spot and let it sit or apply more until it faded. I then washed in cold with regular laundry detergent. I then went to work on the paint by scrubbing with an abrasive soap bar I have (called hog wash) that is for scrubbing stains. Using that and warm-hot water, the paint came out too. One more wash as normal and you can't tell it was ever stained!!!

How do you get paint out of jeans?
Try a little paint stripper or "goof off" in an inconspicuous spot to see if it causes problems. If it seems to be ok, apply a little to the paint spot, let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then use a stiff brush to loosen the paint. Rinse out the jeans and run them through a wash using normal soap and with nothing else in the washer. Paint stripper won't work if the surface is wet, so if that didn't take out all of the paint you might need to go through the process again after you've dried the jeans. BTW, DO NOT wear the jeans if you have applied paint stripper and haven't washed them. Paint stripper, even WEAK paint stripper can cause problems for you.
How is genetic engineering applied to laundry detergent?
Modern Science has harnessed the ability of "mass manufacturing" naturally occurring enzymes by use of bacteria cultures. This being said, the enzyme subtilisin has a special affinity for proteins that tend to show up on soiled clothes. Thus, laundry detergent manufacturers utilize this specially manufactured enzyme as an additive to make their product more effective.
What is the best way to remove and install an alternator from a 1990 Acura Integra GS?
My Haynes manual says to remove the lower CV joints axle. This means removing the drivers side wheel and draining the tranny. This is an unceessary pain.
I unhooked the brake fluid reservior and undid the master cylinder and tied a rope thru the bolt of the alternator to hoist it up then it came up rather easily.
Bleeding the brakes was a small job compared to the lower method.
This job is foolish hard, Honda did not think it through. Yes you have to take out the half shaft and the brakes , lower ball, full shaft, the whole drivers side, .. But you don't need to bleed anything.. thats foolish . the only reason the holf shaft hase to come out .. is " the alt is just to big it will not go down or back up with out the shaft out. other than that you manual will show you the rest. Its' the same one I have
Fun Fun Fun sgf
to replace an alterantor on this car is a pain in the you know what!! sounds like b.s. but this is what you do. 1-take front driverside wheel off
2-you have to take the drive shaft out of trans.(it takes a 30mm socket w/BREAKER BAR)believe me, this is for the bolt in the center of rotor you'll see it. 3-there is the sway bar and a couple of other things in the way you need to loosen to get out of the way(not necessarily take them off)
4-under the oil filter there is a bracket(3bolts) which holds the cv shaft in place(its part of the shaft) loosen those and once everything else is loose you should be able to pull the cv shaft out. trans. oil will leak be ready(be sure to have alternator already loose when you pull the shaft so you can pull shaft drop alternator throw the new one up there and replace shaft with spilling less oil as possible(ATF-Z1 find it at honda or acura dealer $4)
5-replace everything and have fun best of luck any questions email me cwa702@yahoo.com
I replaced my altenater with out removing the axle. There is a mount that it is connected to the engine block with 3 bolts, if you remove the small mount it will slide out. It took me 2 hours to figure out which way to take it out, but only 10 minutes to put it in. You still have to take the front wheel off.
The last poster is correct. It is not necessary to remove the axle or the brake cylinder. Undo the two alternator mounting bolts and the electrical wiring. Remove the left front wheel. Remove the plastic shield on the fender. If the bolts just spin, use a sharp object to hold the plastic anchor while you remove the bolts. Cut the tyraps holding the rubbber vibration damper on the axle and slide it fully forward towards the wheel. Remove the bolt at the bottom of the suspension fork to allow the fork to move forward. Remove both alternator mounting brackets (the top one may not be necessary - try leaving it on). It may be necessary to remove the front motor mount and lower the motor. I had already done this in hopes I could drop the alternator out the bottom. You can't. Now the alternator will slide out towards the wheel. If it still jams, bend the fender metal slightly with your biggest pliers. Good time to change the oil - the filter is suddenly quite accessible. Thanks, Honda - nice design work. Alan
After reading all the posts on replacing Integra Alternators yesterday,I went with the last two posts for a 1990 Integra GS.However,on my 1989,I could only remove the lower portion shield on the wheel well which is plastic.The upper portion is metal and not easily removed.This gave me enough access to the lower bolt,to remove nut and also to align holes on installation(very tight fit,both for removal and installation).I had to pry the alt.off the bottom bracket and slowly tap it in for installation,then align the bolt hole with a podger or round screwdriver.I was also able to wiggle the alternator in and out thru the bottom after removing the oil filter(killing two birds with one stone as car was on jacks).So I was ablt to do it without removing anything except the oil filter.I know this post is for a 1990,but I wanted to share my experience. .
Hello. You are all wrong. Yes the alternator will come out the bottom of the car. Undo the 3 bolts that the one guy was talking about on the vibration damper for the cv axle. Remove the little shield that covers your power steering lines, it is on the drivers side of vehicle. Last, remove a long screw/bolt directly under the oil filter. Undo the alternator. You will have to do some fancy maneuvering of the alternator. but it will pop out from the bottom. Just did it yesterday. The stabilizer bar kind of gets in the way but pulling on the alternator when it is in the right position, but it will slide past it. Be ready for the alternator to come crashing down on your chest if you don't hold on to it well enough.

How do you remove stencil paint from wall?
Generally speaking, stencil paint is not removed from the walls so much as the walls are prepped and re-painted. A light sanding, to smooth any places where the stencil paint sits proud (appreciably higher than the surface it's on) and to give the surface tooth (something for the primer to hold on to). one coat of a good primer, over the entire wall or well feathered at the edges if the top coat of paint is an exact match. This evens the surface, as well as covers any dark or very bright colours in the stencil from showing through. And one or two coats of paint to match the original wall colour.
If however you are trying to remove a small spot of stencil paint dripped or smeared in the "wrong" place, the sooner you get to it the better chance you will have to remove it completely... Check the container you have been using and follow the manufacturer's directions.
