Lmao all of tik tok is a waste of time
yeah the green tape … I had a project earlier this year I was airbrushing, used the green tape. Pulled it off, took huge chunks of the paint with it. Gotta use the Yellow, it's more delicate. As for that last guy, that man just has a good eye for it, probably years and years of experience.
These guys are so hard on a lot of these techniques…of course the lemon and baking soda one was just ridiculous but the plastic panel color restoration trick was just clever. Will it last forever? No! But does it look better which is the whole reason for the hack? Yes.
All these loan a tool programs really are is, pay is full price for a used tool, and we will refund you when you bring it back.
Tiktok…a huge waste of time.
I’ve seen multiple videos where they have tried the lemon and it seems to work… hey I’d try it first before spending the $$
Um… wasn't he headlight smeared with polishing compound BEFORE he used the lemon? Why didn't anyone mention this when watching the video?
My dad did the rain gutter thing on his rusted 08 pickup. Lasted pretty good for about 4 years
The Last Guy – Just one of his kind. I mean.. better than a Computer.. Bet he is doing it since he was a teen.
Out of all the hacks these dudes say that the wheel painting one is a hack. Yeah you don’t get paint on your tire but it’s literally on your brake calipers, brake pads, the rotors, and everything else. Jack the fucking car up and take the wheels off in 5 minutes and paint them 👎🤦🏻🤦🏻
