I work with a guy who has a new vw beetle and he used plywood for the ground effects and front and rear splitters
From experience, the lemon and baking soda works. Not perfect like in the video but cleans them up well
That demonic laugh edit at 5:01 had me cracking ngl
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ u call urselfs mecanics😂🙄🙄 toothpaste on scratches asphalt like, is NOT a legit hack…🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ Eric and Kevin……u need reschooling…. This hack heating up the plastic trim has been used for years and is holding up a lot longer than any chemical, the surface of the plast has been sunburned so by heating it up again with enough heat the surface will be renewed so YES! a very reliable hack! U mentioned chemicals urself, how smart🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ chemicals will wash off again leaving the plastic grey once again 🤦🏼♂️ chemicals cost more and are polluting…plus when it rains off it goes down to the rest of the cars paint and lieves marks….please go to school again and learn something usable…coloring with chemicals is only hiding a problem that isnt being removed….heating is the 2 best way, buying new parts is always No.1
torch trick on black fades trim. works amazing<—- 16 years experience. torch it correctly and then seal it. “experts” on panel have never done it this way. facial expressions say it all
I used spray foam and bondo to fix a rust problem
Of course mechanics have a different perspective because if we do this ourselves then obviously they don't make money. However some of these hacks are like hey before you go spend extra money grab a lemon and give it a try. So no harm no foul if they don't work I think that's something that should be considered
Donut is the only channel that has their ads volume less the actual video, usually its the opposite
The Turkish dude is so boring and monotone
