Wow Javo, you were calm, concise, and very informative in your video. I have a 2010 Lexus RX 450h that was not garaged for 2 years in the Berkshires. This resulted in a fungus that only grew on the side mirrors and the bra area. I have successfully removed the protective covering from the side mirrors, but the bra seems to be a real dilemma for me. It was started by a detailer who really didnt know what he was doing and resulted in an unsightly mess. I have been reinvigorated by watching your precise detailed video. Thanks for taking the time and sharing with the rest of us. Yay for you and TH-cam!!!!!!.
Javo, we miss you. Are you ok? It's been a while. We're worried about you. We hope you're doing well & just busy with your life, but in times like these, it's good to check up on each other. Hope to hear from you or see a new video very soon. 🥰
Precious Freedom - How nice of you, thank you!! I am doing great! Good news, bad news - Good news is I've been shooting tons of video for some time of many different projects; the bad news is I just haven't had the time to sit down and edit my videos. I'm about 2 weeks out from finishing my current project (a full engine rebuild) and then hope to take a few weeks off to work on editing some videos. I literally have hundreds of hours of footage so at some point I'll be putting a huge amount of content. I REALLY appreciate you touching base with me and checking up, that is too kind!
I loved watching your method evolve through the job. This is usually how I do it in real life- try something that kind of works but is too slow and keep experimenting. By the end you look like a pro who does this every day 😄
Great video. Thank you! Looks like heat is best for vinyl removal and a solvent for left over adhesive. I've liked 3M Adhesive Remover for other chores and may try that before gasoline. Thanks again...very helpful.
I'm sorry for the delay Paul, I've been away for a while (as you can tell). Thank you for the compliment on the video. I haven't tried 3m Adhesive Remover, I may have to sometime. Heat was definitely the trick here with this. Sorry for the delay again. I really do appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment.
Hi. Any idea why my 06 Town and Country sliding doors wont open by the handles? Both open and close from the remote or dash buttons but not from the handle? You can still open them manually from the door handle. Child lock is off. Dash door control is on. I figured it has to be something related to the door handle. A switch. A ground problem. Something. Lmk if you have any advice. Thank you
Hi George. I'm sorry but I've been away from YT for a while. Did you find a solution to your problem? If not, let's discuss it a bit more and get you a solution! Sorry for the delay and I appreciate you stopping by.
Hello MeliorIlle. I would really like to do one of those and I'm sorry but I don't see that particular video in my near future. I purchased a 2005 Town & Country Limited to make videos with and I'm planning to finish out that series with probably another 30-40 videos on various repairs and improvements with those vans. I plan to start on the next generation once that series is complete. I appreciate you stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment. Thank you!
I used the cooking oil method on those stickers when they put a sticker on your window. It's a paper sticker but if you soak it with the cooking oil let it sit for a minute it just wipes off that sticker adhesive very easily
Hi Javo, im impressed about your knowledge. We come to USA in February and want to buy a caravan. Can't find your business online. Is there anyway to contact you. You have something in stock?
Hello Steffendgr. First off, thank you for the compliment. Unfortunately I can't help you because I decided to close my dealership. I was tired of the "nature of the business" and we are planning to move to a different state so it all worked out and the timing is good. I'm sorry I can't help you. Hopefully my video on "What To Look For When Buying A Town & Country or Grand Caravan - A Buyer's Guide" will provide you with some good information to make the proper choice. Here's a link to that video: th-cam.com/video/3EXHFnS_u5Q/w-d-xo.html Good luck to you, I wish you the very best.
Thank you Javo. We are in Texas and purchased a caravan. Hopefully it will last long time. Watched your buyers guide. All the best for your future plans.
Hi Javo. I could not find your email address on here, so I am just hoping that you're still checking comments on your latest video. I would say that your channel's most popular video is due for a sequel. ;-) Your tutorial on building a garage storage lift is fantastic, however I am interested in building one inside my New York apartment, for storing a full-sized bed. New York apartments are famously small, and being able to press a button to lift my bed to the ceiling would be a great help. I don't believe I would need to build the wooden platform, as I suspect I could just use a metal bed frame, though lining the bottom of it with drop-ceiling panels, might help me better hide the bed once it is up in the air. My concern is that the video you did create, while incredibly impressive, it was a bit hard for me, a person with no real handy-work experience, to follow, if just because it seemed like you were discovering things while you were making the video, and as your ceiling was not a smooth surface, it was harder for me to make out exactly what the set up was. If you were at all interested in filming a follow up video with an installation, that is a bit more detailed, I would very much appreciate it and I expect it would be another very popular upload. Oh and if you live near New York and I can entice you to film that follow-up in my apartment, even better ;-)
Hello Jay, I apologize for the delayed response to your comment. First, you're correct. This video is due for an update, and I have one in the works. I still have a lot of work to do with it, but it is coming soon. It's hard to say whether using the metal frame would work. I would look to a different solution because the metal frame is not designed to be suspended, so the stress points may be other than intended, causing a failure. I hope that makes sense. IMHO, a built platform would support the mattress and a mounting surface for the ceiling tiles you mentioned (great idea, by the way). You are correct in your observation of "discovering along the way." All my projects evolve from my original vision as I see improvements to my original design idea. That's a good thing because implementation often differs from my project visualization. I have had several requests to get into the pulley system in greater detail rather than the platform, so I will do that in this next video. I'm sorry, but I am a long way from New York; otherwise, it would be fun to tackle a different application of this project. I wish you the best, and I appreciate your compliments. Thank you for stopping by!
Very true, but would require just a tad more buffing at the end to get that factory luster back in the paint. LOL Thanks for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment - I appreciate it even though I'm late.
Hello Javo!! Thank you for being willing to share your videos and educate us who want to learn. May Jesus bless you and your family in your efforts. My husband is looking for a Chrysler or Caravan as our older one is needed much repair. Are you near North Idaho area? :) How may we get a hold of you? Phone number? Email?
Hello AZ F. I apologize for the long delay, I've been away from YT for a while (as you can tell). Unfortunately, I am not near Idaho. Quite frankly I also let my dealer license expire when all of the Covid "thing" was starting so I am no longer a dealer. I had been thinking of getting of out that dirty business and it was a good time to do it because I could tell my dealership would have been shut down for quite some time. I'm sorry, I wish I could help you. I do thank you for the compliments and blessings, it's much appreciated.

Great video. Project was very well explained and demonstrated. Pat
Thank you very much for the compliment Pat! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed my video. Thanks for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment!
Really good video! I’m going to tackle this soon on the front bumper of my truck. Looks just like yours did.
Wonderful. Very professional and you dont talk a ton of crap as many others...!
Glad my video was able to help you! Thanks for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment.

Thanks for using products OTHER than the $60 a gallon pro standard👍🏻
Great job👏
Hope you are going to post again

Is it worth the time and money to buy the equipments and do it myself or do I just pay about 150 dollars to a expert?
You are a great teacher ,jose ..!
I appreciate the compliment, thank you!
There is a product most dollar stores carry called “AWESOME”
It is the best adhesive remover made
Any chance for doing another buyers guide for the latest generation Caravan and Town and Country?
Hello MeliorIlle. I would really like to do one of those and I'm sorry but I don't see that particular video in my near future.

I've had them put that sticker on my window before when I parked at somebody's apartment and it's the big sticker that ends up being on your glass
You gotta be careful with the heat gun because you can overdo it and mess up your paint
Seems like you gave up on the hair dryer
I feel like the hair dryer gets it just warm enough but not too hot like a heat gun
To me the steam and oil are your best friends oil and water

Awesome! I am subscribed so I eagerly await the follow up video. 😁
i think a steamer would work like the blow dryer. watch out with gas and goof off both flammable and will make you light headed
Belt sander would work faster lol
Very true, but would require just a tad more buffing at the end to get that factory luster back in the paint. LOL Thanks for stopping by and taking a moment to leave me a comment - I appreciate it even though I'm late.
its the oil in the wd40 and the heat, cooking oil is not flammable either.

cooking oil works too like the goof off on adhesive removal
I would be scared to scratch the paint with those tools he was using I guess the plastic blade is the safest
