GMC Sierra Scratched Tail Light Fix!

A few weekends ago I scratched up my truck's tail light hauling tree branches. Today I show you how to fix scratches and scuffs on tail lights with minimal effort. A scuffed brake light is a lot easier to restore than foggy headlights due to the robust plastic that isn't scared of UV. With the right tools it's truly one of simplest DIY jobs for a detailing enthusiast!

Best car shampoo for biggest foam?

Adam's Polishes has three shampoos on the market; Their original Adam's Car Shampoo which is the basic one, Adam's Ultra Foam which is supposed to be a step up for foam guns and cannons, and their new Adam's Mega Foam which is supposed to make the best foam gun and foam lance foam. I've used Adam's Car Shampoo for years and it is what I use in all my wax tests. However, is it the best for making big foam and is it the safest on wax? Is it really pH neutral? We find out in today's testing!

Dream Garage Tour

So maybe this is a bit of an opportunity to show off, but when I built my garage I had a very specific set of ideas in mind. I'd like to share with you where the garage is two years after I closed on the house. I'm going to feature my BendPak GrandPrix lift, Saber Cabinet, Mr Cool DIY mini split, and my Milwaukee toolbox! I'm sure many of my followers have seen all these things on their own, but here is a chance to get a comprehensive tour of the whole thing.

2019 GMC Denali Oil Change (6.2L V8)

Today I'll show you how to change out the oil on my daily driven 2019 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate. This truck has the 6.2L V8 L87 engine. The process should be identical on the Silverado and other same generation trucks with this engine. Of course you should check out your service manual to make sure that is correct. You don't even really need to lift the truck if you can just fit under it.

S14 240SX Changing Brake Pads & Fluid

Today I'm going to change out the brake pads and flush/bleed the fluid in my 1996 Nissan 240SX. This is the super low miles (16K) car that I picked up not too long ago. The brakes were feeling a bit weak and wouldn't even really lock up. I used a Motive power bleeder to help speed up the flush and used some fresh pads.

Houston Coffee & Cars (October 2019)

Today I got to see some amazing cars at the October Coffee & Cars here in Houston, TX. The event was dedicated to deputy Sandeep Dhaliwal who was killed in the line of duty last month. The cars really were incredible, but the centerpiece was absolutely the McLaren Senna in the Richard Mille livery. Runner up for me would have been the Ferrari LaFerrari. The Ferrari TheFerrari seems like a dumb name, once translated, but it's an absolute stunner. The Sena really shut things down though! Gorgeous cars!

2017-2019 Audi A4 Oil Change (B9)

My 2017 Audi A4 has probably the easiest oil change procedure in the world. It is completely dummy proof and virtually mess free. Anyone can change the oil on their 2017-2019 B9. I used the Mityvac 7201 pump to pull the oil out of this 2.0L TFSI engine.
