    Silly putty works real good for getting dirt out of places that are hard to clean other wise.

    Gets dirt off textured plastic very well.

    Also works good for an emergency set of ear plugs

    Silly Putty will also serve to replace the patty in a McD's burger in a pinch, with little to no discernible difference in texture or flavor.

    I'm going to wager you read my post? hahaha.

    Bottle of simple green is used for cleaning it'll also remove a time stamp,

    The q tips are for digging the wax out of your ears. Also used for dipping in the simple green then you roll it across the time stamp and watch it disappear

    Silly putty is used to take time stamps off bill of ladings as well, you roll it across and it'll remove the time.

    I prefer simple green myself, silly putty doesnt' work as well and if you've got silly putty in your cab they're liable to ask you what the hell it's for. Also when you pull on to a CAT scale you rip off the top copy and keep the bottom, top copy has a time stamp that can be read bottom copy doesn't.

    I dip Q-tips in Simple Green and clean my ears with it.
    I use silly putty for slingshot ammo.
