$600 3rd Gen Prelude Ep. 10 - How to Clean Aluminum Parts

[@finscreenname]

Zep's grill cleaner you get at HD works better then the engine clean you get at the parts store. Environment friendly and being it is food safe you can cook your lunch on it on the way to the track.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I'll have to try that. I've never heard of that before.

[@therookie5263]

Hey Brandon, really appreciate your vids...and that you don’t let on to be Gods gift to car repair...keep on keeping on bro..I have a 2nd gen Lude myself.

[@awdaltima2]

Thanks! Not too sure what the pledge was about but i'm cleaning my transmission atm so good info!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks for watching!

[@francisbrackney2061]

Man that trans is so clean Honda would resell it as new! You may as well get out some polish and shine it up also....

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Ha! Thanks! It's since been painted and is clean enough to eat off of it. Thanks for watching!

[@radmansa5514]

Good video, I will just be very careful not to get water going into the areas where the driveshafts go also to avoid water going into the overflow / ventilation hole situated toward the top of the gearbox, it is normally a small tube that has a cap fitted over it. The slightest moisture finding its way into the gearbox will cause deteriorations.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Excellent points. I definitely should have done a better job capping off those areas.

[@blueridgerennsport]

Degreaser doesn't attack rubber, it attacks aluminum and causes corrosion. The best and safest aluminum degreaser out there is Pine Sol.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks for the tip!

[@ryaneagen8243]

Definitely a good idea to not plug holes for the CV shafts. Transaxles love when theres water and dirt inside of them lol

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

That's why God made grease! Still running strong! Thanks for watching!

[@bigtriojas6425]

Can you clean the inside of the transmission? If u can, with what?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Yes. Brake cleaner.

[@codysmith3857]

Another good video liking the content and all of the prelude 3g stuff

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

[@codysmith3857]

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Ur welcome and super cool on cleaning the transmission

[@abrahammelgarejo9323]

good product and teacher thank you Abraham Melgarejo

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks for watching!

[@nailbender1596]

aliphatic naphtha dissolves grease...safe for aluminum... Lowes carries it!

[@Honda1k]

Problem with using steel wool it can put little steel deposits into the aluminum and cause rust. Use bronze wool next time just a friendly tip

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Good point. Thank you. I didn't even know bronze wool was a thing!

[@rhinely850]

You can also find stainless steel 0000 grade wool. The micro particles that may transfer do not rust.

[@Honda1k]

rhinely850 actually the stainless steel probably would work better it's more durable.

[@rhinely850]

I made the mistake of using plain steel wool to refinish a wooden board once years ago. Started rusting soon after! Learned my lesson, use stainless!

[@x-man5056]

Aluminum wool readily available

[@freshfrij0les]

another good video, but please level the audio out before uploading. I don't know what you use to edit with, but if you can take the audio out you can run it through audacity (a free program) and master it

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

freshfrij0les Thank you, and you are right! I do all of this with a GoPro or Yi action camera and I do the editing on a Chromebook!! It’s amazing that I get this far!! Hopefully the future will bring better equipment and editing software, but right now it’s “Run what you brung!!”

[@kirkjohnson9353]

Maybe do that on an old tarp or plastic to not soak the middle of your driveway concrete with grease and chemicals.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Good tip! Thanks for watching!

[@AaronUnknownPerformance]

Nice work

[@ArchimedeanEye]

That looks mint. Nice work. By the way, do you even lift? LOL, I think you do.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks. I get to the gym every now and then. 💪

[@nightwishkid1]

What is that squaking?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

nightwishkid1 My stupid pressure washer.

[@772777777777777]

best ways .. vapour blast... fast and simple..

[@eddiettownvagabond7476]

Get that at Walmart?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

The brush? Yes! $1.58!! Ballin' on a budget!!

[@eddiettownvagabond7476]

Extreme Daily Drivers Cool thanks. I really enjoy the quality of your videos. Solid work

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks Eddie! That means a ton to me. Thank you!

[@eddiettownvagabond7476]

Extreme Daily Drivers hang in there. You'll get the followers!

[@josiahbrooks1748]

Nice!

[@x-man5056]

To much work. Way overkill. Forget the Pledge, just silly. Use Castrol Super clean or equivalent, then pressure washer. Forget what's left for a street driver.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

If I would do it again, I would have too, but having never cleaned raw aluminum before that had 25-year old grease on it I wanted to ramp up the aggressiveness of the products. Now knowing what it takes, I would just skip to the end. Fair criticism. Thanks for watching.
