Pink Stuff Review, Windshield Washer Concentrate, Compressed Cloth & McGill Utility Lights

[@357magdad]

Thanks for the shout out! The spade bit scraper was a fun challenge!

[@danieldumaine6139]

This is another great video. The pink stuff was interesting. Now I know what to do with my outdated fluorescent fixtures. I'm lucky I didn't throw them out.

[@johnkelley9877]

Everything you reviewed was very interesting! I was surprised at how well the Pink Stuff cleaned up the bell at brought it almost back to new. I saw 357 Magdad's scraper tutorial and you are right, he really knocked the ball out of the park! I was really impressed with how well his mini lathe is working on making wooden handles. Thanks for sharing this.

[@danohstoolbox]

thank God it's Friday 🛠🍁🇨🇦💪👍

[@lewiemcneely9143]

AMEN!

[@geraldschrader8511]

The pink stuff did a fantastic job! I will have to try it.

[@beachbums2008]

Scoutcrafter I like to use mother's past wax for shining things up like chrome etc. Just my opinion. Opinions may vary😊

[@ScoutCrafter]

Best stuff made!

[@bigvicsworkshop]

Those red handled screwdrivers over your shoulder in your intro..look interesting! Those sk or ace hw? Have a good weekend Mr. John

[@ScoutCrafter]

Vic- Those are NASA brand! 😂👍

[@lotsabirds]

Have a Fantastic weekend !

Regarding the Pink Stuff, I have used Go-Jo for years for removing a multitude of dirt and grime from surfaces. I have used it on my laundry for tough stains and even coated my vehicle with it gently by hand on a hot day (hot day is important) to remove asphalt. (I was working in the paving industry at the time and the mist from tack spray would eventually cover my truck. It carries with the wind for a long distance) On a good hot day, Go-Jo actually melts asphalt mist and liquid asphalt splatters from paving operations. Wash your vehicle well after the asphalt begins to run and it will truly shine. And, always add a good wax job after stripping the surface. Finally, my question; I wonder if the Pink Stuff is any better or about the same. Go-Jo is not that expensive. Thanks.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes- GoJo is very similar to Goop. 😃👍

[@davidrule1335]

Also scout, or anyone else on here. I have a body shop and at my paint suppliers you can get windex, purple storme storme, tire shine, a wash and wax, aluminum (acid) cleaner and other stuff like that in a concentrated gallon. I'm thinking the windex is a 10:1 mix, I make it up 2:1 and use it for a degreaser before I paint. the purple storme @ 50/50 (and I know how you like your 50/50 stuff) will burn your eyes. It needs to be 10:1. All of the above are pennies on the dollar. They also sell the good spray bottles. Not to mention they can mix you up any color and put it into a rattle can along with a 2K clear coat.

[@ScoutCrafter]

It’s amazing how many products come in concentrated form and how many are just really watered down! 😃👍

[@wallyarent6548]

Run washer tablet fluid thru paint filter before putting in your reservoir,any solids left will play hell with pump,and clog nozzles

[@paulsworkshop4179]

I’ve been wanting to try that Pink Stuff. Those lights look like explosion proof almost. Great show.

[@lotsatrains]

Great product that pink stuff is I guess I will have to get some and very nice lights too 👍

[@Reggyontheroad]

Deb uses The Pink Stuff gets it in the super market .

[@ScoutCrafter]

Reggy it’s all the craze now! 😂👍

[@drivesalot0063]

That Pink Stuff did nicely. Thanks for sharing. I do like those utility lights. Have a great weekend, Scout.

[@magomat6756]

There are now led type replacment for your lamp and they works without transformer

[@upsidedowndog1256]

I have used several chain hoists but never heard of the jack before. Gravity would compound the problems that the hoists have which isn't many but dirt and gravity would not make that design an easy thing to deal with.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Go9d one. I'll stick with Rain-X and not flouresents except 4-foot grow lights. The curly ones will burn your house down. They almost did ours. And the jack is a chain fall turnes sideways! From evening before last till last night/this morning we got 6- count SIX inches so God Bless You!

[@frankg3072]

I was just in Home Depot yesterday and there was a large display of Pink Stuff.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Frank the stuff is going wild! 😂😂😂

[@777anarchist]

That is a ballast inductor. The thing is proper oldskool.

[@ScoutCrafter]

“Proper Oldskool”. 😃👍

[@Fred19Flintstone]

That Pink Stoff looks like a good product. How does it compare with regular rubbing compound?

[@ScoutCrafter]

I’m a compound man however I don’t want to waste it on stuff like plastic chairs, rims and sneakers! 😂. This is a good abrasive cleaner that cleans up nicely. I’m forever a DuPont No.7 man though.

[@uktony1525]

Hi John. Pink make a whole range of good value cleaning products but you need to get your hands on some "Elbow Grease". It is a degreaser and general cleaner but it's uses are amazing such as getting brake dust off alloy wheels, cleaning oil and grease from tools etc. Cheap as chips in the UK and environmentally friendly but we'll worth the price.

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

Those light fittings look really well made 💡 👍 😊

[@bandera001]

I remember those tablets when I worked at gas stations for cleaning the windshields, they never used the stuff that was for sale only tablets mix with water.

[@michelecrown2426]

I love that chain jack. Going to keep my eye out for one this summer.

[@TheKidFromYTown]

Thanks for the tip on The Pink Stuff. One of the many things I enjoy about these videos. I seen Magdads video and as he usually does, it is a very good video. I want to get one of those sharpening guides he was using for the 1x30 sander.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I know! That was slick!

[@andyc972]

Well, that makes a change John, we're on the right side for once with the "Pink Stuff", usually I see an excellent product reviewed by your good self only to find it's prohibitively expensive here in the UK, so I know how you feel ! I'm glad it worked well for you, as you say it does a similar job to many products but they all have their niche ! The bell came out great ! There seems to be a whole load of "expanding" ( or concentrated ) products released recently sold on the basis of being environmentally friendly as they cost less to ship, after all many liquid cleaning products are primarily water ! The light fittings are a bargain, as you say - easy conversion !

[@wayneo7307]

Hi Scout Some Interesting Stuff. The Pink Stuff Looked good. Like You Said Like A Rubbing Compound. I Have A Question Maybe You Could Answer or A Viewer . What Tool Company Uses A Letter A Inside A Hexagon For A Trademark. I Got A Pair of Snap Ring Pliers And I Was Wondering Who Made Them. Thanks.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Wayne- look here maybe- alloy-artifacts.org/trademarks-and-logos.html

[@wayneo7307]

Thanks Scout. But I Didn't Find anything . Looked At Them All. I Also Looked At All the Images of Vintage Snap Ring Pliers on Google. Zip. Unknown Maker. I Was Just Curious. Oh Well.

[@OldSneelock]

Hi John. Fun times in the big city. The Weed Jack is interesting. Not anything I have seen but clever. Pink is good. Not anything I would buy unless it was one of the garage sale bargains. 😁 We had a similar light to your fluorescents in the milk house in our old barn. Kept the water from blowing the bulb when they were washing down after milking. It had a quart Mason jar as the cover. Must be the original broke. Dehydrated cloth? Something new and weird every day isn't there. I didn't think to ask before. Did you participate in the big earthquake? I have only been in one that was noticeable. Can't remember exactly but it was about 1980 or so. The grandfather clock started chiming but it wasn't the right time. Maybe 10 or 15 seconds. Michigan doesn't have many. 😁😎

[@ScoutCrafter]

In 1984 we had a 5.0 here in the city! I was on the west coast in the service but my Mother told me about it when I called home! 😃👍

[@rawbacon]

Interesting history I was just reading about that jack, started with a guy name Harry Weed who invented tire chains and at some point they even challenged Houdini to escape from the chains. Not sure if he had anything to do with the jack or not other than his name being used, seems he sold the company in 1912 and all the ads I'm seeing for the jack are 1917-1920

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes! There was a bunch of ads too! He wasn’t skimping on advertising that’s for sure! 😂👍

[@richardross7219]

Weed made tire chains for many years. I have a tube of the compressed towel from the Centennial Jamboree. They're just a souvenir. Another nice video. Good Luck, Rick

[@robfahey1349]

They have the windshield wash concentrate in liquid form ive seen as well. I would personally never trust the tablets, im always leery about things dissolving completely aka laundry detergent pods, dishwasher pods, and in this case the windshield washer tablet. Im afraid all you need is alittle crumb you missed dissolving to get into the system and clog the orifice end thats narrow enough as is already.

[@dalee.mccombs8571]

Lights are cool. With conversion you can use red or green bulbs, too !

[@mikebrunosgarage5338]

Great episode, that pink stuff looks like a great product,I will check into it. Also the jack is pretty cool also and I will see if there is one when I go to the threshers reunion in May. Thanks again and have a great weekend and see you Monday

[@ScoutCrafter]

Mike I think that Jack is pretty rare. 😃👍

[@alexstools]

I tried that pink stuff a while back but wasn't all that in to it, I found it a bit too aggressive. I have some liquid bar keepers friend that does work well though, made in the UK as well! Hope you'll have a great weekend!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Sometimes you have to watch if something is too aggressive! 😃👍

[@patrickmeyer1967]

Now the kids today will quit eating tidepods and start on windshield washer tablets and then towel tablets! I have a lamp similar to the ones you bought, maybe this weekend I will do something with it! Thanks for another great video and have a wonderful weekend!

[@markdoring4302]

Another informative video John, back in the 80s we used to use sterlings magic pink on our leather keds deck sneakers before going out to the clubs on the weekend, thanks for bringing back memories 😆

[@georgelackey622]

I work at the local library and we used to have those cursed bulbs in big chandeliers. they were so hard to replace on a 16 foot ladder while reaching over and into the fixture. If you were going to keep them I would have sent you some bulbs. ours have been converted to leds.

[@sebglayburg5163]

Great ideas, john, thanks.

[@13thworker45]

Years ago to the best of my memory one of my suppliers carried the pink stuff. They were promoting it for cleaning Naugahyde. I do not remember the name but it worked well. I replaced many of your light fixtures in walk-in freezers. We used a19 incandescent 100 watt lamps in them. Anything else would collect moisture and freeze. I think that fluorescent bulb in yours was either a 13 or 18 watt. I know the 26 watts had 4 prongs. Great show Thank you

[@michaellindsay8934]

Fantastic products I really enjoyed the show

[@lv_woodturner3899]

I love the chain jack. I did not know about this jack. Very interesting. I have some of the windshield washer tablets. I have not tried them yet. Dave.

[@davidpeterson5186]

Do you remember Anco windshield washer solvent. You mixed in 1 oz per quart of water. This was not freeze protected, you had to buy the winter stuff.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Yes!!! 😃👍

[@TheH454]

I've used the tablets once. With out the alcohol, they leave a residue on the windshield. They work best when added to the cheap washer fluid to boost the cleaning ability. Otherwise, I'm green washer fluid 'till September, than purple until April.

[@beerdrinker6452]

Great video. Thank you. What kind of maniac does not collect mercury filled lightbulbs.

[@GarryRobinson-nk5dl]

I really like that pink stuff! Id call it restoration in bucket

[@tonylenge424]

I like that bell and the pink stuff looked like it did a good clean up. Thanks

[@matthewhopkins666]

Those compressed cloths always remind me of being a kid and a gag product that was sold as dehydrated worms, they were really just compressed tubes of paper pressed into a pill shape.

[@setdown2]

Would’ve liked to see how the pink stuff compares to USA cleaning stuff…coulda done half bell with U.K. stuff and half with your favorite USA stuff…lol…ya just can’t please people sometimes…😂🤣😂……🖖

[@jamesvannoy8304]

Weed chain jack,never seen before I bet the cops would get excited if you had a flat tire and said to the cop I'm looking for my weed chain jack.

[@62forged]

I'll have to give the pink stuff a try. Thanks.

[@Reggyontheroad]

Gotcha caching up

[@ToolsandTime]

Great episode Scoutcrafter! I’d seen the hubbub on the pink stuff before and passed on it, but wow it sure cleaned up that bell nice-that was surprising. Thanks for showing us those cool light fixtures and how to redo the base to mount different bulbs.

[@patjohnson3100]

I have never seen a chain jack before or even heard about them. Must be pretty darn rare.

[@steve.b.23]

That's a coincidence! I cleaned my some of my mum's baking trays with The Pink Stuff earlier today. I'm going to attack the pans tomorrow.

[@wyattdean5658]

Alka-Seltzer

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

The pink stuff came to my local home depot and it was moderately priced tried it and it works well. I use a drill brush and it gives a better finish for sure. I most commonly use it on big Oops, scrapes, dried on oil based paint spills, and much more when my coworkers are careless. It's cheaper than replacing people's stuff for sure. That jack my grandpa had a few and he would use them with a electric motor tensioned on lumber to jack up the corners on barns buildings or pop out concrete from post holes they had some decent travel. Was if rinky dink yes but the old 38 international didn't have a winch and didn't feel like starting a tractor and driving it over.

[@allamy2897]

Just saw this at my local Walmart for $5.97

[@mikejones5358]

I’ve been wondering about that pink stuff cleaner now I’ll have to try it out

[@big_steven2226]

You used to get clearalex sachets years ago which I used to add to my washer fluid and it made my glass crystal clear

[@randymacsgarage]

its all the craze until someone decides to eat it because they cant read the warning label you know kinda like why they put" Do Not Take Orally" on Preparation H 🤣🤣

[@ScoutCrafter]

Tide-Pods 2.0

[@WyoWellTester]

My gf has the pink stuff

[@larryborkstrom3580]

I'll have to try some of that pink stuff

[@GT-oq4jj]

Trade between countries has been helped alot due to Brexit. But also our currency has dropped some.

[@mitchd949]

The towel-tablet is an accident waiting to happen. Kids will eat them!

[@ScoutCrafter]

We’re doomed. 😂

[@MakerAgent]

I have a weed chain jack. It’s slow, but essentially effortless to use. They boast that they could be used while standing by the car, rather than crouched down by a standard jack.

[@toolscarriagesmodellbauand7246]

The pink stuff is great. I#ll buy it in septembre when I go to Beaulieu in southern england.

[@michaelowens7151]

The Pink Stuff did a good job on the bell, I think the Bon-Ami polish would do the same, and for far less. They don’t have it in the solid bar form any longer, just in the can, but it’s the same. Bon-Ami contains feldspar, and as far as cleaning goes does a very good job. There are two kinds, one is a cleanser similar to Comet, and the other is a polish. The polish does not contain chlorine and for most purposes is all you need. It will make glass sparkle, although you cannot use it on windshields; read the label. “Freeze dried windshield washer fluid”, what will they think of next?

[@davidrule1335]

@ 5:00 DO NOT EAT THAT! I haven't and haven't heard of anyone eating it. Just a warning, lot of nuts out there. js

[@saigaking]

Wow that pink stuff works great I’ve seen it around were I am in New Zealand will definitely try it on that recommendation Really good the windscreen liquid tablets look good to I haven’t Seen them before will be trying them also god bless take care 🦅🪖🇺🇸🇳🇿🗽🦔47/FJB 🤬
