@@michaelflintsr Plexus has been OOS for quite a while. I've been using 210 Plastic Cleaner/Polish as an alternative and it seems to work just as well.
I found out years ago that Pledge works fine . I use to detail cars in my youth , and learned many tricks . I have a 1990 Ranger which always stays outside due to my wife’s car in the garage . I wax every month regardless of the weather plus Pledge the plastic headlights , grille , taillights and outside mirrors and thy look brand new .
8:27 Met a girl recently who was driving a 2012 Corolla that she later told me she had bought brand new in 2012. We started driving around in her car a lot and one day her check engine light started flashing while we were driving so we pulled over and it ended up being her spark plugs causing a misfire. She took it to a place after that and they replaced the spark plugs and I asked her if she’d ever had them replaced since she’d had that car and she said no and not only that, she really had nothing replaced at ALL on the car until then. 232k miles she had on the car with the same original spark plugs, now replaced.
You're doing what you believe is right by showing us this, and that takes courage. Consider consulting with a lawyer who specializes in consumer rights. Whatever happens, keep your chin up.
Talked to a guy in the tire manufacturing industry. He said that they could make a tire that would outlast the vehicle, but nobody would be buying tires eventually except car manufacturers.
@@truesouth4784It's true about light bulbs, not so much tires. A higher mileage tire means harder compound and that's not always good, sport tires have the best grip and usually don't last 30k miles.
@@ultraneight Yeah for sure. Many moons ago, I owned an Aussie muscle car and the tyres lasted 25,000klms. They cost $500 each. Sheesh. I no longer own that vehicle.
Well, 10 years ago I would laugh at this joke. But in today's society, it might be true. DCS (Deep Cycle Systems) sued a youtuber for a REAL review of an ATV battery. Then in other news Disney said a man can't sue because his wife died at their park due to eating food with peanuts because he agreed to a 30 day trial of Disney+ 3 years ago. So, I would not be surprised.
@DarkForce2024 True People now win lawsuits on many stupid things. I still can not get over that woman, Winning her lawsuit because her coffee was hot at McDonald's and she spilled it on herself. Now all McDonalds coffee cup have a warning that the contents is *🔥"HoT"🔥* ❗️ . Oh Boy 😒
Your thinking of Plexaderm. I know, I watch way too much TV, but this commercial comes on at least 7 times a day. Inbetween the auto accident lawyer commercials.
You want to talk Tire Importance; when I see a car in a parking lot, low tires, I leave a postanote! And any tire run a few miles at 15 lbs, well they have destroyed the sidewall integrity. Tires are not designed to Flex to that degree the inside crumbles , it won’t show outside ! And that is the person sitting beside the road after a 70 mph interstate run ! I was averaging 21,000 miles pr year on my goldwing (209,044 mi currently). Tire pressure is paramount. Checking them every two weeks is Not too often! Check for cuts from road debris (had a piece of fine wire working its way in, glad I caught that) ! And Scotty , remind viewers that cold winter temperatures will let perfectly fine tires let air work past the rims, so Every March definitely check pressures.
@@katylowe3504 you are correct, they may look low when they are not. However, checking the pressure every three weeks is little enough effort to insure NOT being stranded by the roadway and possibly being struck by a reckless driver. “Cost vrs reward” The “cost of checking the tire’s condition Before a trip is worth the “Reward” of arriving safely. Be Well. Rob
When you wax your car, throw a little on the headlights and tail lights-has the same effect. Keeps the UV rays off your paint finish. Keeps the UV rays off your headlights.
Responding; I have a 2004 Avalon. It runs perfectly . . . like the first day. 1. After 17 years, I replaced the head light assemblies. I have calendared to polish the headlights with protector every 3 months. 2. I have lifetime alignment. The balance and tire rotation are free. The roads are crummy. I have the wheels inspected, rotated and balanced every 5000 miles. 3. I hear the 10 year recommendation on radiator fluid. The average radiator lasts 10 years. I almost doubled that time by changing the fluid more often. The concern isn't primarily that the radiator will fail, it is that not changing the fluid will cause more than the radiator damage. 4. I have done the AT205 routine under the car for over a decade. Yes, I have an outstanding mechanic. However, the employees keep changing. If you give written instructions of what to spray under the car, you make the working mechanic notice small problems before they become large problems. Moreover, when you lubricate parts, the failure of seals will be prolonged.
With modern vehicle high energy ignition (HEI), extra gap in a worn spark plugs actually increase combustion efficiency by providing additional area to ignite the fuel mixture. Wear in a spark plug will not prevent the spark or diminish it.
Spray the silicon on a small rag. Don't ever touch the paint. Paint reacts to silicone if you EVER need to repaint. Almost impossible to get rid of it.
We were spraying CRC silicone in/on the run-channels and fuzz strips of BRAND NEW Mercedes-Benz's 40+ years ago. Your tag on the car means you used to jump out of perfectly good-running airplanes?!!?
Or you can buy Weathertech headlight protectors. 8 years and 150/000 miles later my Outback’s headlights look like new, so does my 2007 GMC Sierra and my wife’s 2007 Spyder.
Plexus is good, but I use "303 aerospace protectant" that stops 100% of UV rays. It also repels dust, is great on leather upholstery, plastic dashes and tires that can dry rot from UV rays and sunlight.
Have you used it on headlights? I can't get Plexus anywhere. I just purchased new headlights and I'm trying to keep them looking good as long as possible.
@@TheMrgoodtool I've been reading reviews where people have said that they've had issues with clear plastics. I can't get plexus anywhere, I'm trying to find something that is close to it.
@@Wezi427 Try the Maguire's Headlight spray coating. Apply it once a year to keep headlights from fading. Scotty did a video about it sometime in the past. That's actually how I learned about it.
I don't have a single car with plastic headlights and I've cleaned up my two garages so I could park all 4 of them in, away from humidity, snow and sun most of the time... Still need to clean up more to actually use a garage to fix cars!
What about using white lithium grease on window channels instead of silicone spray? I know it lasts a lot longer and works better on my garage door moving parts.
I have a 06 e90 325i, with an electric waterpump,, prone to failure, knock on wood,not have any problems with it ,,easy though to bleed your coolant system, couple things to press and it's bleeds automatic all the air out the lines.
Coolant - yeah I do not think I will do it like the dealer wants BUT I will have the iVT fluid done on say year 5 (it will only have like 60,000 km on it by then).
Ceramic coat the plastic light covers when your doing the paint . It never fades Problem solved. Changed my iridium plugs on my old Honda fit at 80K as one of the coils was failing. Hardly worn at 80K.
Mr.kilmer, if you cỏuld please show the product so we could see the item well enough to purchase it, we can be assured of buying the right stuff, Thank you very much....
AGM Battery - new type my car came with - it was weak from day one but it did say "shows discharge" - so they said not to worry about it. But last time, just about 3 years old now - it should be 580amps but shows 425amps but again they said "shows discharge" so that is normal - do not worry about it. But I kind of do.
Your GREAT Scotty! Thanks SO much for sharing your knowledge. You are simply THE best channel on UTUBE You have helped me and so many others over the years, you are such and intelligent and cool person, I CANT stop watching!!!
Scotty, thanks for all your great advice to us amateur car maintenance and repair people. I have a Toyota 2007 Matrix with over 122,000 miles on it. It runs like nearly new. On the freeway in Los Angeles it has no problems getting up to 80 mph and over to merge and flow with traffic. I do try to maintain about 70 mph on longer trips because I do not want to stress the engine more than necessary. My Toyota 2007 Matrix is a Corolla. Because of you and good maintenance it runs very well. I have changed nearly everything under the hood except for any major engine repairs. The best is to buy a basic or much better OBD2 diagnostic computer reading / analyzing tool for your car. Even spending a few hundred dollars will save you even more money over time by telling you the problems with check engine light on your car. The dealer can and will charge you over $100 just to tell you what is wrong with your car with a check engine light. My toyota 2007 Matrix plastic headlights were very yellow and clouded. I just used some aluminum polish from Walmart that restored over 95% of clarity to my plastic lenses. Then I used clear UV plastic spray to protect them for another year. I made the mistake parking my Matrix in the intense afternoon in Southern California facing the west for 7 days a week 24 hours a day for many years. I even changed the alternator, water pump, drive belt and tension er under the hood. That turned out very well but was full of surprises. I had to loosen the 4 engine mounting bolts to lift the engine over 1 to 2 inches to remove and replace the bolt for the engine tension device.
What are you talking about iuridium sparkplugs needing to be replaced. I have a pair that have well over 500,000 miles on them and the gap is still at spec.
I put a transparent UV protection film on my expensive LED headlights. Took 20 minutes to install and cost $5.00 for a 16"x48" roll. It's thick enough to prevent scratches and pitting too. Got from AliExpress.

Good alternative?
TY for bringing this back up. I couldn’t find the other video where you mentioned this. I need to get that stuff and start using it.
That joke about things being made of plastic then showing the picture made me cackle Scotty
Also: Silicon Spray is great for the windows on your house, too.

AGM Battery - new type my car came with - it was weak from day one but it did say "shows discharge" - so they said not to worry about it. But last time, just about 3 years old now - it should be 580amps but shows 425amps but again they said "shows discharge" so that is normal - do not worry about it. But I kind of do.
OMG !...£90 a small spray can in UK.
People should take this advice with their bodies too. An ounce of prevention.....

Plexus: Currently unavailable.
My phone froze up this video is so hot. Yes scotty i know about plexus already. Bc you told us.
The last time I tried, I couldn’t find Plexus available for purchase anywhere. Apparently the manufacturer of it isn’t very dependable.
Yeh, this is certainly Top Secret, Classified stuff no doubt.
these ideas work great, 👍 Scotty
I love to watch Scotty! I’ve learned a lot from his info
Can't wait to see Scotty's Celica for sale on Cars & Bids 🤪
Good helpful video. Thx Scotty
Ha, ha Scotty's Matrix is tinted now. 🤭😄
Your GREAT Scotty! Thanks SO much for sharing your knowledge. You are simply THE best channel on UTUBE You have helped me and so many others over the years, you are such and intelligent and cool person, I CANT stop watching!!!
Great informative video Scotty, preventative maintenance is always good 👍 👌 😀
Scotty, thanks for all your great advice to us amateur car maintenance and repair people.
I have a Toyota 2007 Matrix with over 122,000 miles on it. It runs like nearly new. On the freeway in Los Angeles it has no problems getting up to 80 mph and over to merge and flow with traffic.
I do try to maintain about 70 mph on longer trips because I do not want to stress the engine more than necessary.
My Toyota 2007 Matrix is a Corolla. Because of you and good maintenance it runs very well. I have changed nearly everything under the hood except for any major engine repairs.
The best is to buy a basic or much better OBD2 diagnostic computer reading / analyzing tool for your car. Even spending a few hundred dollars will save you even more money over time by telling you the problems with check engine light on your car. The dealer can and will charge you over $100 just to tell you what is wrong with your car with a check engine light.
My toyota 2007 Matrix plastic headlights were very yellow and clouded. I just used some aluminum polish from Walmart that restored over 95% of clarity to my plastic lenses. Then I used clear UV plastic spray to protect them for another year. I made the mistake parking my Matrix in the intense afternoon in Southern California facing the west for 7 days a week 24 hours a day for many years.
I even changed the alternator, water pump, drive belt and tension er under the hood. That turned out very well but was full of surprises. I had to loosen the 4 engine mounting bolts to lift the engine over 1 to 2 inches to remove and replace the bolt for the engine tension device.
Bad electrical connections create a voltage drop, not power surges.
Scotty I saw someone placing weird looking packages in your mailbox, please be careful.
Plexus use to be cheap. Motorcycle stores sell it. Price doubled. Think they use it on airplanes.
How about rubber trim? White lithium grease spray rubbed in or that GM product that’s like Vaseline? Comes in plastic “jar.”
My 2001 civic headlights never faded did nothing to them .
Thanks for sharing keep up the great work
What are you talking about iuridium sparkplugs needing to be replaced. I have a pair that have well over 500,000 miles on them and the gap is still at spec.
Can you use like a water out in coolant just in case it didn't flush all the water out when someone flushed it
I’m supposed to be using Ford’s Motorcraft yellow coolant, but for the life of me, can’t Find it in Canada!
Was great on the top of my Jeep
SCOTTY PLEXUS IS NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE!??? How old is this recycled video?
I put a transparent UV protection film on my expensive LED headlights. Took 20 minutes to install and cost $5.00 for a 16"x48" roll. It's thick enough to prevent scratches and pitting too. Got from AliExpress.
will try out your recommendation for foggy light cover
Scotty, should I wash my engine?
I thought you were using Mcguire's for that!
All great advice. Thanks.
new tech of ceramic spray and coatings does the same and even better.
Thank You Scotty!
Word is this shocked the entire car industry.
Scotty, thanks great advice!
