How is the car running so far, do you do the regular service with the dealer besides oil changes?
@TomsDIYGarage Күн бұрын
The car's running great. Almost 20k miles now and only maintenance has been the oil changes and topping off the engine coolant. No I don't have any maintenance done at the dealership, I try to do everything myself. I'll post more videos when I reach the service intervals for other maintenance.

Sorry to hear that, the only thing I would say is maybe try using the paint on a piece of scrap paper and let it dry. Often times wet paint can appear different in color than the finished product.

just wanted to pop in and say I'm currently using this kit and have had much more joy in using the yellow microfiber cloth with the cleaning solution versus the blue :) (but boy howdy does cleaning the overfill take a goshdarn while)

What size radio should I pick for the double din? Please and thank you.
@TomsDIYGarage 27 күн бұрын
All double-DIN radios are about 4 inches tall and 7 inches wide. It will very slightly from model to model but only by a fraction of an inch. The depth of the radios can vary quite a bit, some cars might require a more shallow depth but the focus had plenty of extra room in the dash so I think almost any double-DIN radio would work. My radios dimensions were 7.075 W x 3.935 H x 4.315 D

0:40 are you sure it comes right out? These toothpicks don't seem to actually be a cleaning method, but a method of clogging up the inside of a seat with dirt.
@longstory-shortt Ай бұрын
Well, this method still works for those who are OK with having a mission failed successfully 😃

Some of the dirt/debris that clogs the perforations undoubtedly does end up inside the seat. I've seen people use a vacuum as they are using the dental pick to try to prevent this but I'm not sure there's any way to fully prevent some of it from ending up inside the seat. My thoughts are it's such an inconsequential amount, that unless you are constantly spilling stuff and clogging the pores it won't harm anything.

Does using the suede towel to level, does applying pressure just remove product? I know instructions says minimal pressure but it’s so tacky without pressure
@TomsDIYGarage 3 ай бұрын
If it's overly tacky you may need to level it out sooner. My environment was 60-70 degrees fahrenheit and less than 50% humidity. From my understanding, pressing too hard with the suede leveling towel would be like prematurely doing the final buff. The goal is to allow the coating time to flash properly, then level it out with the suede towel to minimize high spots and finally use a clean microfiber to buff off any remaining high spots. With the suede towel you are moving the product around just enough to avoid high spots, not trying to remove product.

1mm is not 1000th of a inch. Its.0394 of a inch. Or four times the thickness you expect
@TomsDIYGarage 3 ай бұрын
Your correct, the unit I was referring to was 1 mil which is 0.001 inches. The gauge measures in mm, mil and microns.
