If you have an I-Phone and especially if your like me and your still using the now incredibly archaic 3G or 3GS you're probably finding that it's about as fast as molasses and as reliable as a PC.

This may be old news, but I just found a way to make your phone much faster and with a longer battery life! And this trick works for all I-Phones including the 4G.

If you have updated your software to 4.0 or newer, your phone will continue to run apps even though you think you have closed them. Every time you run an app it NEVER turns off! When I tried this trick I had 50 apps running! No wonder the battery only lasted half a day and the thing crashed and shut down constantly.

So, to turn off the the apps on your phone;

• Click the home button twice
• A small window will pop up at the bottom
• Press and hold anyone one of the icons at the bottom of the screen 
• They will "shake" and have a minus sign in a red circle
• Tap each icon with the red circle to turn off the app and the icon will disappear
• 

Once you have done this all the apps are still on your phone and ready for use, but they are turned off.

Before you trade in your phone, give it a try and see how many apps you have running. Then go in and turn off your apps every day or so... 

Congratulations to all the staff at Splashes.

Because of your hard work and dedication to customer service, Splashes won The Now News Paper Award for the Best Car Wash and Detail shop on the peninsula for 2011.

Well Done Team Splashes!

   

This is the oldest motor vehicle car in the world that still runs. It was built one year before Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler invented the internal combustion engine.
The world's oldest running motor vehicle has been sold at auction for an astonishing $4.62 million (R36.5-million), more than double the pre-sale estimate, as two bidders chased the price up in a three-minute bidding war.
The 1884 De Dion Bouton et Trepardoux Dos-a-Dos Steam Runabout drew a standing ovation as it was driven up onto the stage at Friday's RM Auction in Hershey, Pennsylvania - to prove that this 127-year-old car really does run! - and attracted a starting bid of $500 000, which was immediately
doubled to $1 million.
Encouraged by the applauding crowd, the bidding went swiftly up to $4.2 million - 4.62 million including the 10 percent commission - before the car was knocked down to a unnamed buyer.
The Dos-a-Dos (Back-to-Back) Steam Runabout was built in 1884 by George Bouton and Charles-Armand Trepardoux for French entrepreneur Count de Dion, who named it 'La Marquise' after his mother.
In 1887, with De Dion at the tiller, it won the world's first ever motor race (it was the only entrant to make the start line!) covering the 32km from the Pont de Neuilly in Paris to Versailles and back in one hour and 14 minutes (an average of 25.9km/h) and, according to contemporary
reports, hitting a breathtaking 60km/h on the straights!
La Marquise has only had four owners, remaining in one family for 81 years, and has been restored twice, once by the Doriol family and again by British collector Tom Moore in the early 1990's. Since then, it has taken part in four London-to-Brighton runs and collected a double gold at the1997 Pebble Beach d'Elegance in California.

Check Out Our Photo Gallery. We have posted some photos of the newest X-Kote Center in China.

7H is the name of this elite membership shop in the center of Xi'an city. They cater to the affluent, specializing in high end, luxury and exotic cars. 7H chose X-kote as it's flagship service, and designed the center to specialize in the X-kote service. This place is unbelievable!

I could only dream of having a shop like this!   

 

This Fifth Wheel Parallel Parking Invention is genius!

Although it did take up some trunk space. And it got it's power from the drive shaft, so I wonder, was it throttle controlled?

If so, it could bring a new meaning to "one tire fire". Video link here.

 

At Splashes we claim Armaguard spray-on liners are the strongest protection not only for trucks, but for anything you could possible think of. We have used Armaguard coating to protect everything from trailers to baggage carriers, pilings and boats.

But even we would have never thought of coating a jacket in Spray On Truck Bed Liner. The MythBusters gave it a go as part of their tests to see how strong truck bedliners really are.

A dog bite can produce up to 500 PSI of pressure and that is focused to several sharply pointed teeth. Then a dog twists and wipes to make their attack even more violent. No matter, because even that is no match for Spray On Truck Bed Liners.
