detailsmw5995 offers good advice, but let me go a step further. Get a double bucket trolley with two buckets and a wringer. Fill one bucket with your cleaning solution and leave the other bucket empty. Place the wringer over the empty bucket, that way when you dip the mop into the solution, you aren’t wringing the contaminants you’ve just picked up back into the solution. Once you have mopped the floor and before it dries completely, replace your cleaning solution with hot clean water, dip your mop and tightly wring it out to the point that it becomes more like a damp sponge, then mop. Essentially you are rinsing while also picking up the cleaning solution and lifted dirt simultaneously. The secret to clean floors is rinsing. Cheers!

Trust me on this…. Get a janitorial style bucket and wringer and a large industrial size mop. It makes the process go much faster. The mop is heavy but the extra weight and pressure cleans and absorbs the grime fast and you can cover a larger area with each pass.

They gave you a choice and you chose this? Just FYI this is 2 year old tech and IR camera tech is changing crazy quickly these days, with huge changes every few months at most. Yours only has 96x96 physical/real IR pixel sensors or 9216 total sensors(thats the reason everything looks so blurry on the screen, unless you overlay regular camera on top) while newer budget thermal cameras have 256x192 or close to 50k real sensors. last week i bought a newly released Ampbank M256 and few months old Acegmet Ti256i - both with aforementioned 50k sensors(upscalable in soft to 512x384 or 196k pixels) and both for around $150 each(just 2 years ago this type of resolution would set you back at least $3k each). Not affiliated with either company - just a big fan of thermal cameras

I'm not sold on this new ceramic spray wax just yet. It goes on easy and buffs off easily but how durable is it? It just like spraying water out of a bottle so I wonder about how long it will last too. And the shine is good but in my opinion no better than if you had just waxed your car with a liquid or paste wax which I prefer. And the price is kinda expensive for what you are getting. Just my thoughts....

Very interesting. I just bought a fleet RAM Tradesman 1500 and haven't had a problem. I did, however, notice on the CARFAX report that the battery was changed 3 times within a few weeks during the auction process before my dealer bought it which stumped me. Now I realize they were probably dealing with a tracker draining the battery. I am hoping they found it and removed it as all is well now as the truck sits in the garage days at a time and always starts and no beeping. I will be checking tomorrow to be sure. THANKS!

Great video. It is estimated that out of all YT channels that only about 2 million across the globe are monetized and about 90% of those make less than 12k a year. Everyone thinks it is some great money maker, but it really is just about helping others and learning a new skill for yourself. For your CPM, it's all about the content and what the advertisers are willing to pay for given content. People who review cars have a higher CPM than gamers do, as an example. I think most people would just be happy to at least earn enough to pay for the stuff they're buying to make a video on.

I have 3 cars and my newest is a 2014. I have no desire to buy anything newer because I value the simplicity and reliability of older vehicles. The updates don’t mean much to me and by the time I actually need to update the scanner, I would just purchase a new one. I have 5 different bi-directional scanners currently and honestly find that many of the fancy features they market never get used and the live data is what I end up using 99% of the time. I do use a few basic resets because I do make and test tunes so being able to reset fuel trims or shift adapts after a ECU or TCM flash is nice, but those two are some what basic on a bi-directional scan tool and can be done with my tunner software and interface if needed. I am looking at this Autel because in the world of scan tools, the software integration is very important and Autel has a very functional layout as well as some handy shortcuts and ability to adapt some simple things like adjustments to color and scale of graphs. Anything that may aide in information availability and readability is key to aiding in quick, simple diagnosis of different vehicle systems. I have wireless scan tools, but have grown to appreciate the data refresh speed of a wired unit plus if you threw in into your toolbox hutch and forgot to put it on the charger, it’s powered through the tether so no big deal. This is super handy if you have other people working in your shop who may barrow your scan tool. 😂😂😂
