Here, a feller proves that a little elbow grease, some tools, and some juice can give really great results with little more than time and effort. You've got my like, and subscription for presenting fundamental concepts and practices in an easily digestible format, and giving us that all important lesson... " Hey! Take care of your stuff, man!"

I have been detailing cars for 20 years and everything you did was right you can also use the same polish on your taillights and front turn signal lights to gloss them up but slow speed is what you need doing that the plastic will absorb the heat from the polish so quickly go over

You ask to tell you, FYI the clay bar will work much better instead of the spray they sold you just use soapy bucket of water. The same that you wash the truck with . Keep putting soapy water on then clay bar and you can clean the clay in the bucket. then just wash the truck then or even wait till after you buff it. I used a clay bar on cars daily. Great stuff.

We had the same Ex as yours and was always impressed when it was all detailed like yours. They are awesome trucks… the ultimate family hauler. We had the right rear tire (Firestone) blow out and shred on the highway at 75 lies an hour and the truck just settled down on the rim and let me steer off to the shoulder no problem. Kept the wife and kids safe👍🇺🇸✌🏻

Same thing happened to me in an '04 2500 Suburban on I-95 in Florida. Never knew the rear tire shredded until I got out, as it felt like the rear end just sagged a little...

For a breakdown of why one is faster than the other F1 has: -way larger crew -already where they need to be to change tires -less regulations on pit crew -the tires are not in wheel well so it is easier to quickly change them -nascar tires are heavier than theirs

Man that turned out nice. A steam cleaner, some floor mats, and a dash mat would transform the interior of that thing. I’ve been running those cloth dash covers from the parts store on my vehicles for years, saves the dash from getting all weather cracked. I also found that Cerakote trim coating makes plastic trim look really good, and it lasts for over a year.

Good jpb. Wanna make it pop? They make a chemical (don't remember the name right off) that you use to recondition all the exterior rubber and plastic pieces with... that front bumper... the black on the bottom will look like new... the rubber around your windows and the steps? Same thing. It's sold at all the car parts houses. Also... you replaced the headlights and that's the best way to make em look good again but for a cheap alternative try spraying them with "Off" mosquito repellant and then wiping them off with a paper towel. Sounds crazy but it works really well. Careful though cause the spray makes the plastic real sticky. Just be quick about it.

yeah, it's too bad Derek from vice grip garage is not just one of the guys anymore. He has high dollar sponsors funding him, and everything he needs just miraculously appears he was an average guy once, but not everybody has things like a plasma table, tire mounting and balancing machine, and multiple lifts at their disposal and doing a build. Not to mention all the sponsors throwing the free parts and things at him. I enjoy his context, but I do not try to relate to him. I'm still an average guy. He's a famous guy with a lot of funding that most people will never have. Am I jealous, yeah, I admit it. But still, I'm happy just being a regular guy.
@RevivingRides6 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching! I don’t know Derek personally, but I can tell he’s far from average. With hundreds of videos and hours of content he is enjoying the fruits of his labor. I can’t fault a guy for that. He has shown what a regular guy can accomplish with hard work. No need to envy, just roll up those sleeves!
