rev up your engines today I'm going to show you some great products I've been
trying out now this tool cost almost nothing
it's an obd to memory saver got an amazon it was like $12.99 but man it can
save you a lot of problems realize a modern car site they're very complex
under the hood simply disconnecting your battery can mess with the computer
system can make it idle weird lose your radio presets and that's what the
burglar alarm just changing the battery on your car can create problems some
modern vehicles hey you got to pay a mechanic like to use our fancy computer to
reset stop if you disconnect the battery or replace the battery so if you have
one of these simple memory savers you can bypass all that nonsense don't
prevent all that electrical problem you just need this device plugs into the OBD
port you just go on dash there it is right here that's it connect the other
end to any 12-volt power supply in this case I'm using a motorcycle battery
positive I'm positive negative negative that's it
no mess no fuss now if you replace the battery or disconnected so you can do
electrical work and not charge something out the computer memory stays alive so
it doesn't reset anything and I found this particular $13 one to be the best
because it's simple it just plugs in positive and a positive red negative the
negative black you can't screw up and since you're using an external power
supply you don't have to worry about something going wrong don't make some of
these to have a 9-volt battery built-in and different all these things but then
you got to worry is that battery good is it gonna hold power supply to these
clips this thing's gonna keep the memory
that's why this inexpensive one it's the best one as far as I'm concerned the
plug only plugs in one way so you can't screw that up if you try upside down it
won't plug in and these are very simple read it spas electricity black is ground
negative electricity that's it so if you're gonna plan on working on your car
even something as simple as changing the battery
buy one of these $13 memory save devices and you'll thank Scotty when everything
works just like it is you don't find Oh the car is idling poorly now or I
can't turn my radio on because the end I thought went on or the anti-theft system
of the car's gone ballistic or in fancy cars like BMWs or Porsches the sunroof
won't work all those little electric windows that go down when you close the
door and pop up they won't work you can bypass all that stuff with a simple
memory saver like this now the next product I'm talking about is magic guard
a metal polish it is insane I have been trying it out for quite some time now
since you're a monopoly may check out these crappy wheels here they've been
polished in years you just open up the magic guard and put some on I'm using
one of these clean nice work towels I have put a whole bunch on you
want to make sure it's covered everything now let it sit on for 60
seconds yeah just 60 seconds yeah while waiting for the 60 seconds here's the
back story of this stuff man in Missouri and vanadate he died a short while ago
but his son has taken over the company he went to car shows all over the place
he often won Best in Show with his own cars cuz he used this polish to polish
them up and they'd shine like mad and rightful he's proud of this product just
don't make it Missouri and it really works great for polish and stuff now
we're gonna start polishing and as you can see it's starting to polish up
pretty good now it was really pitted in here so I'm gonna do this particular
such and one more time but you can see it's already looking a lot better then
the side that we haven't polished yet so we're gonna work on this side too and as
you can now see it's really starting to buff out good you can see all the rust
and crud that's coming off on the rag and sure it's work you got a rub hey you want
something shiny you got it rub it look what it ends up
like just look at the shine look at that thing
shines like mad I realized these are thirteen year old rims and hot humid
Houston taxes the plating pits but you can see what a great job this polish
does like I said the guy that made this in Missouri hey he used in on his
show cars and won all kinds of show stuff with and the real advantages protects the
wheels that prevents rust it's rain repellant and yes it's got some type of
wax base on it shines for a long time before it just fades away especially the
older ones that I use years ago they polished fine but they polished by
buffing off the metal then there's bare metal sitting outside and guess what
it oxidizes extremely quickly and then corrodes away check out my motorcycle I
polished just think six months ago and look it's still really shiny before hit
all oxidize because I polished it with a regular polish didn't have wax or
anything in it and this quickly got white and look horrible it's still shiny
six months later sitting here as the saying goes only time will tell
well time told me that this stuff not only works but it also lasts try it out
if you're really into polishing metal stuff let me look here now I can't stop
I need to go polish the other ones too it's addictive now the last product I
tested out is this going to engine protectant shine what this does is it
prevents metal parts from corroding if you live in a corrosive environment here
in the Gulf Coast near the ocean salt waters gonna coast off just a humidity
of houston corrode stop you live up north the salt they put on a road and
the winner is gonna corrode metal you can coat your matter with this stuff and
it'll prevent the corrosion from grabbing and holding it's easy to put on
you can spray it on a rag and wipe it on the metal or you can spray it on
directly don't wipe the residue off wipe it all off
I've been trying this on for months and you can see it's pretty shiny
it was extremely corroded to begin with I could have polished it down but that's
too much work I just want to see if it's gonna keep it from getting more
corrosion which is exactly what it did being a mechanic I only care about saving
things so they don't corrode either rust or in a case of aluminum pit badly
enough that it creates problems now if you're an absolute fanatic the shine is
the last thing you'd use you can clean your engine to your heart's content
degrease it polish it all up and then finish it off with this which is gonna
leave a nice safety covering so the metal won't corrode and he'll really be
shiny if you go through all that but I'm too lazy to do all that I just
use this to keep things from corroding I really don't care that they're all that
shiny under the hood the hoods close I don't care I don't have show cars I'm
not showing these I'm just driving them around now this has various
petrochemical center but strange enough when I read the directions in a soybean
oil in a two so maybe if you got bugs in your neighborhood after your posh it
don't come and lick the soybean but I haven't seen any extra cockroaches
under there so maybe they don't like the other chemicals that it's mixed with so
now you know three products that I tried out and found work quite well and since
this is mechanic Monday I'll be giving away a case of this magic guard Polish
deaf chance to win place to clean non-offensive comment under YouTube
comments below to be able to polish a way to their heart's content and make
their vehicles all shiny and new and here's some bonus questions and answers
there we go again I guess you can call this better late than never
the Dodge Viper is now being recalled 15 years after it was made
that the airbag could potentially just go off Randall me whenever they want and
whack you in the head we should not be a good thing in one of those fast Vipers
if you're driving it around hundred miles an hour and they randomly just had to go
off and hit your hat now the estimated defects for these it's really something
it's 100 percent a lot of times they have a recall they have half of 1% or
something the cars having the problem with you recall them off this one it's a
hundred percent recall for all of them they realize they might have all wrong
not a real shocker they're though not for Dodge and Chrysler and even saying that the
airbag running like might not even come out well where you just be driving on
rough sudden when it goes off I guess it's since it's so much later those
were the Vipers that we're extremely fast vehicles
I'm sure quite a few of them are in junkyards now or have been crushed and
or aren't even running I got a customer owns two of them and neither of them are
running anymore he's in the process of suing them he's been suing them for
years over the car so I mean it's pretty safe they're not driving so if the
airbags do go off their not going to hit anything but air cuz nobody's inside
them now they only sold three thousand three hundred twenty-nine of these very
poor so it's not that big a mob they actually solved they're pretty much a
dramatic failure they're one of those you know ideas that sounded good at the
time and then when they made them they had so many problems with them like I
said I got a customer's got two of them the engines went out on both of them but
they weren't that well made but uh got advanced lady that over fifteen years
later I recall at every single one of them the airbags may just decide to go
off randomly with no warning whenever they feel like it, it sounds like something at
Chrysler is just full of anyway they always had problems this is just the tip
of the iceberg although a rather large tip if you have an old one and you're
diving on I wear the bag decides to go off in your face guy says hey I'm having
issues with the electical on my 92 Chevy Silverado two-wheel drive half-ton 5.7
motor it's melted wire under the dash my fan motor blows the heat in there in a
cab and it's hot I can't turn it off and a bunch of wires at a firewall have been
melted help one you got to fix all the melted wires there's no way if ands or
buts about they had caught them splicing new sections but GM's are notorious for
having bad ground wires and what happens is if you have a bad ground wire then
often it will use a power wire to try to ground the system and so then you got
power and ground on the same wire and a heat up and they melt you're gonna have
to fix all the melted wires there's no way out of them it's often the ground
wires it's a 92 my advice is be if you get a good book or go to alldata
diy. com and find all the ground wires on that car and check them off you find
that they're corroded if they get corroded
then they can't ground correctly they get hot the whole system gets hot if you
lose grounds entirely the system will start using regular wires to ground it
the old ground and power on the same wiring it really makes a mess so let's
pray you find a bad ground wire I mean it started the simple thing the negative
ground cable on the battery follow everywhere it goes take it off make sure
it's all clean and shiny bolt it back on you have correct ground because a lot of
times it's because dum is the battery cable is loose or corroded where it
bolts onto the engine or where it bolts on to the frame of the vehicle which is
the main ground but there's also lots of little grounds you want to check them
off so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos
