rev up your engines today I'm gonna talk about some products
that I've tried out that actually work now the first thing I'm gonna talk about
is this encore product it revitalizes plastic and vinyl it's a spray-on and
man I am impressed by what this thing does just look at the faded plastic
under here under my license plate in the front of this camera that is faded away
now the first thing you want to do is make sure it's clean
use some of this denatured alcohol on a clean towel squirt some on and clean it all
up you want to make sure you get all the
dirt off then you want it to dry so I use my giant fan because not only does
the alcohol clean it evaporates fast so then you can spray this on then you just
spray it on like you're spray painting now I'm too lazy to mask it off you can
always mask it off before but with a little alcohol you can wipe off any
overspray it got on your paint that's easy enough to do rather than tape it
all up this is hidden on the bottom anyways little denatured alcohol and a
rag worked over the top of the paint on the edge they don't take any of it off
your paint but if you're real fanatic tape it all up with masking tape just
like you were painting in a car and do it that way then you want to wait 15-20
minutes to put another coat on now really look at the difference the call
this thing shines not before it was so dull this stuff is amazing for vinyl and
plastic it really works well now you get twelve ounces in here it will do a lot
of stuff over and over again and you only need to do it maybe once a year or
once every six months depending on the environment you live in if you live in
Texas hot sunny parked it out the Sun all the time of course the ultraviolet
rays are going to beat it up that's why it got faded in the first place this
rejuvenates them fast lasts quite some time and you can see it's so easy to
apply clean it and spray it on that's no big deal you can do any part you want in
just a few minutes and to me I kind of find it interesting I'm spraying like
way this stuff smells pretty good well they even say they got a new fragrance
kind of smells like a little like cherry it's not some horrible
stanch that you breathing in so if you're doing it inside the car on
plastic you don't get a horrible after odor that lingers in your car now the
next product I'm talking about is hg power glue system it's a regular super
glue type thing but it has a powder that it comes with that makes it strong as
can be you can use it of course I'm play a stick but you can also use on now you
can use it on all kinds of surfaces and for once thank heavens a company comes
with excellent directions English and Spanish but there's pictures and it
shows you exactly how to apply it in different situations not just give you a
tube and say hey good luck you're on your own you can use it to fix broken
parts or reproducing pieces that are missing by using the granular and the
glue so it's kind of like welding it shows you how to use it if you just want
to fill holes you got little holes in something you just want to fill a hole
it shows how you can do that and of course it can be used like regular
superglue just by itself to glue things together they tell you just put it on
one side of a clean surface and hold it together while it bonds here's an example
of a broken eyelet a headlight assembly this part is snapped off here so I want
to fill this hall well first I'm gonna get some gorilla today hey yo hey a
little piece I just want to have a backing part here and a little lip on
the top don't we get a little all the powder and well put a little powder here
as you can see the powder will fill the hole there we'll get some of that out of
the way then you get the glue and you're dripping on know within a couple of
minutes the stuff gets hard and if you're worried about 15-20 minutes it's
so hard you can file it down sand it if you need to you can build it up more
with the sand material put some more glue on it till you get a lover you want
just like welding and then you got a nice hard bond as you can see when I
take the tape off here we go this is hard as a rock and since this is
a bolt on thing we really don't care you don't even see it it's hiding under the
car but if you wanted a neat job you could keep sanding it down sanding it
down building it up and you could even spray paint it if you want it's spray
painted just don't be stupid mean get it on your finger cuz then you
got to get some of that super glue remover to get it off your skin wear our
gloves I was just too lazy it's so hot out today
I'm just doing my bare hands but you can wear some rubber gloves and just throw
them away when you're done the stuff is great for sealing plastics metals holes
plastic pieces that broke off you can rebuild them only your imagination is
gonna limit the use of this stuff in an emergency the stuff can come in really
handy because it dries so fast three to four minutes stuff is rock-hard I had a
customer the other day was in a big hurry and they had cracked some of the
plastic on one of these stupid hoses that goes all over under the hood and
the engine and they just wanted me to get it so they could drive at home and
replace it later so I cleaned it off and I put some of this on the plastic part
built up over where the hole was because you want to cover a large area of the
hole and he drove it home so he had no problems at all didn't leak I really
there's nothing more annoying than working on a modern car let's say it's
8-10 years old the plastics all brittle you touch something and a little plastic
knob breaks off you can put it back on now especially if it's one of those
vacuum gels where everything works fine but the little male end it sticks out
snaps off when you're working well you can now bond that back on so you don't
have to buy a sensor that one that I was working on a couple weeks ago was
$175 I bonded it back on and since this stuff dries so fast hey three four
minutes later it was rock hard and I didn't have to say to the customer well
I got to keep your car overnight because I got to wait for this stuff to dry
thoroughly this stuff dries fast so you know a couple of products I tried out
that really work quite well and since this is mechanic Monday I'm gonna be
