rev up your engines welcome to mechanic Monday where I try out products and make videos
on ones that actually work now today I finally got a big problem concrete a
splashing on my car because of the swine's down the street as you can see
they're building a giant nine story apartment complex
this is Story number three coming up here and of course they're using massive
amounts of tons and tons of concrete which they splash all over the place and
on beknownst to me it got splashed on the worst car when she was driving
around that's where this goo gone comes in handy now this says the automotive
going sticker remover spray gel you want to spray gel that's the thickest now it
actually works on concrete I've done it before now when it gets on the glass that's
simple you just spray a little bit on get a clean razor blade spread it on a
concrete no just scrape off cuz it's glass glass is very easy to clean then
just wipe off any residue with the towel it's that easy kind of create is gone
it's smooth but don't attempt to use a razor blade but the concrete has stuck
on to your paint you will destroy the paint for this goo be gone also works it
just takes a lot more time where the concrete is stuck on to the paint you
want to first spray a whole bunch of it on in the shade just spray the heck out
of it doesn't let it soak about half an hour so as it creeps on dirt then before
you start rubbing spray it again then you'll find easy bits you rub like that
you got a road really hard the easy bets will come off but the really hard ones
that you can feel with your fingernails they're still there you can even hear it
when you scratch it with your ear down spray it again and use the towel and
your fingernails as you'll see it scraping some of my fingernails out too
but it's soft enough that if you're careful enough you won't really hurt the
paint and your fingernail be able to get the big chunks off like this
now on the bottle it says bumper window stickers tree sap bird droppings brake dust
it doesn't say concrete but it actually thoughts work on concrete I was totally
amazed the first time I tried I thought well now I'm gonna take the wife's car
to the body shop and they're gonna have to sand it down and repaint the whole
section and then that part won't match the rest of the car but it's really
amazing the stuff that this can take off and yeah this is an extreme example of
concrete to spend on there god knows how many days if you leave this stuff in the
trunk of your car and you look around every once in a while as soon as you see
stop spray it on and take it off then it won't it sealed honest hard and in the
case of bird droppings that's answers you won't be acid eating
the paint off your car but it costs when it's all smooth and the concrete's gone
get some wax in this case I like the new finish polish wash it all up and seal it
the only problem I found with this is if you just do one part it gets all shiny
and especially in the rain it beads up and the rest doesn't so you end up being
obsessive-compulsive have to wax the whole car then, of course do t in the
shading when it's dry just wipe it all off no more concrete no more rough spots and
we didn't have to paint anything now the next product I'm talking about has to do
with both appearance and longevity hide rehab by lithium I know anything about
chemistry lithium is an element this is the name of the company but I find it
interesting that lithium is also a drug that you give to people who are sort of
mentally unstable so people used to call that crazy well this stuff works crazy
keeping your luggage seats both clean supple and not cranking over years and
years any advantages it's not only easy to apply because it's one step it also
doesn't stink matter of fact it smells creamy it's got a nice creamy smell to
it so it's not something that's gonna really bother people who have allergies
to smells realize any smell you put in a car you close the door it's sealed it's
gonna be just amplified inside it's got vitamin E aloe shea butter coconut oil
in it maybe I'm just a stuff of my skin too after all think leather what is it
it's cow skin dead cow skin so it's the skin you want to keep it supple you
don't want under put those cracked up leather seats that you see all the time
just pop the top put someone on a nice clean microfiber towel and rub it in bottom on
top especially do the head brass because oily hair is on there all the time and
that will make them dirty and especially since this is a 18 year old car put it
in all the ones where there's little cracks and crevices so they don't get
any worse just look at the shine that's put out here the ones I didn't do yet, here's
ones I just did you can see the reflection here how are you gonna shine
this like you the reasonable amount of work there's no arguing that you get
good results anybody stick your nose next to it it doesn't stink and it isn't
one of those with the fake perfume that's enough to make you throw up it's
a very neutral creamy tiny amount of odor as it's making your seat supple so
they don't crack I really don't forget to do all the leather parts people often
forget these armrests are leather too you rest your arm on grease and oil gets
in them if you want to get that supple so it doesn't crack and this side this
is leather too you want to get it all look at this it cleans and it protects
one step because if there's one thing Scotty can't stand it's something that's
got like a five step process what a pain in the rear end this is one clean sealed
protects i'm impressed by the stuff that this lithium company makes but it's all
protected and smooth that won't crack and look ugly even though this is a 18
year old cars and since this is mechanic monday i'm give it a like some of this
hide rehab to have a chance to win place a clean non offensive comment on a
YouTube comments below and a winner will be chosen randomly by computer to win

it so if you never want to miss another one
