Try WD40 or Sonax....

I tried WD, always works on most things but didn't even touch the mango juice. 

My neighbor has a large mango tree--the green type, that overhangs into the street. I don't park under it directly but I still get mango juice on my car. Does anyone know what will take this off the finish. I've tried various penetrating oils, waxes and other things and all have failed to take it off. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.. 

Free watches for the masses!!!

Hunt in another country. The stories are endless of people getting ripped off here.

Abandon hope all ye who enter here.

It just seems to thin from the enviornment. 

I know what you mean; I've had numerous covers for cars/motorcycles and none of them lasted very long. Like you say, they seem to get thin--and papery from environmental factors. Same with some plastic items over here, they just get brittle and turn into a powder over time.

Once I left it under the cover and salon was full of fungi..

I had the same issue with a car I stored for two years. I thought I was doing the right thing by covering it up, but like you say, mold started growing on the leather upholstery. The paint was in good condition though. If I did it again I'd definitely have someone start the car at least every couple of weeks and run the AC.

Do you have Thai bank account in place with required funds. 

Yes, more than enough and has been in there for years.....just for the visa. Thanks

I entered Thailand on visa exempt; just curious when I can apply for Non-immi O visa. Can I apply anytime within the 30 days or do I have to wait until closer to it expiring? I know when renewing the Non immi O they want you to wait until 2-3 weeks--depending on the office, before it expires. Sorry if this has been asked before; couldn't find it in the search. Thanks in advance.

I didn't use to wear one riding either, then as I started going in and out of businesses it turned into a matter of convenience. Helmet off, mask on, shop, mask off, helmet on, just easier to leave it on if multiple stops are anticipated.

They JUST don't get it, do they?! TIT!

IMO, If you're a rich, well connected Thai you can probably get away with it, anybody other than that, not advisable.

Hmmmm, guess he didn't see this.

Sad to say this, but it's going to take more killings before people are mad enough to DEMAND something be done. It's always the same ol' rhetoric from the politicians, "Our hearts and prayers go out to all the family members". How about DOING something instead of just talking! I bet if it's was the politicians kids or family getting killed they would be all over the issue immediately and change would happen.

TIT.

Agree, Red Bull heir comes to mind........plus many others.

I'm not a fan of some of the Immi officers at Jomtien immigration but after visiting the place for many years and listening to some of the clueless people they have to deal with on a daily basis I can understand their frustration with foreigners. Saying that; they knew what they were going to have to deal with when they signed up for the job. Suck it up buttercup! And I'm sure most of them are doing alright money wise........people who've been in Thailand many years will know what I mean.

When they apply the solvent cement i think they take little care to ensure its fully applied around the full circumference of the pipe. 

Also, I've never seen a Thai use pvc primer first before gluing. There's a reason they have primer available and recommend using it.

In my experience with galvo pipe it depends on the quality--or lack thereof, of the water. I had galvo elbows rust out at around the fifteen year mark. I would change all steel pipe to PVC pipe/fittings and go with PVC fittings with a brass insert at the faucets/wall fittings.

Agree totally!!

My wife used to have me wear an amulet to prevent me from getting shot, have never been shot so must have worked............so far. (insert sarcasm) 55555

I'm calling BS on this one..........staged.

Along with the education of the local numpties that having steep sided 'ponds' with no easy exit if someone did accidentally fall in is lunacy

Agree totally, I've noticed these ponds many times up in the villages and always thought bout how you would get out of them if you went in. Even an adult would be hard pressed on some of them to get out let alone children.
