***Hello all my great Friends, it is Sweet Tip Tuesday. Friends the last thing you want is to have moonroof/sunroof issues. Here we show you how to Lubricate, remove water spots and Ceramic Coat your moonroof. Even if you don't have a moonroof you can maybe help someone else that does have one.***
Again, HOLY SHIT! I had a Mercedes which always had moonroof issues. I spent a lot of money trying to get it fixed. Knowing this will help me with my cars now and not be afraid to open up my moonroof 's anymore.
Rick you will love the results of this that’s for sure have a great night my friend
You are send from heaven, you even put product lists for stuff is European can buy several places! Me love you long time!! Keep it up!
I’m planning on ceramic coating the solar panels on my roof. It should help them to work better.
Thanks for ALL your videos. I haven’t seen one I didn’t like. I think it would be amazing working there. The pride you take in what you do is a credit to you. Thanking you from Australia.
achillies40 Welcome Australia and your comments are very flattering thank you very much we truly appreciate that:)
THIS VIDEO SENT ME TO THE MOON! AFTER I CLEAN MY WIFES' SUNROOF, I MAY GET TO SEE HER "MOON"!
I found Tyler that if you do anything on your wife’s car there are always great bonuses LOL
same treatment for solar panels love your videos .also old treatment for rubber learnt 55 years ago apply glycerine and water 50 -50 in spray bottle apply and buff off turns old rubber like new.
Thank you for watching and sharing, arthur, we really appreciate it, have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Great timing! I have a car that I need to do tomorrow and I was going to search your videos for this exact info. Thanks!
Glad we could help my friend that is perfect timing have an awesome night and have fun doing the job
Wow! Mother's mag and aluminum polish on glass? Who'd a thunk? Great job
Thanks Chris! It's a great product for sure! Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Great tips my friend,I’ve been using 0000 wire wool for years on the windscreen,it removes all the grease and dried on dead bugs and leaves the screen sparkling
You got that right my friend it works great especially when you add mothers to it and then ceramic coated then you never have to worry about it again have a great night
Great Tips !nHey I was waxing my van today and I didn't have any tape to go by the edges on the mouldings so wax doesn't
get in between the molding and the panel where wax is hard to clean off. Now yes you could use a brush and when I went to
my toolbox and I didn't have any except a little acid brush like you see people like a machinist use to put oil on where he is lubricating the metal they are working on. Now take the brush and take masking tape and wrap it around the brushes so that the bristles that are sticking out from the tape is stiff enough to use to brush out the wax or mothers I love my mothers ! Thanks for that one !
Thank you Cody would truly appreciate you sharing this technique that’s awesome if more people can do that we would have a really awesome channel here we always love it when people share their ideas
Mind blown again keep the tips coming,your making me better and better at cleaning cars
That’s why were here Mike to help as many people as we can have a great night my friend and keep cleaning
Nice work with the water spots and ceramic coating 👍👍👍
Thank you train driver we truly appreciate that it is been one of my pet peeve’s for years water spots on moonroofs have a great night
It's simply amazing how you make it look so easy
Thank you Edmund we’ve been doing it for a long time that’s for sure one of the best things you can do is just dive and go at it yes we do make mistakes but that’s part of the process I guess have a great night my friend
Hey hey... new way to say sweeeeeet project car! You get me to smile every time! Don't ask... just does! Good tricks. Thanks.
You like to have fun here and keep it lighthearted is much is possible life is tough as it is and if we can put a smile on someone’s face like yours it makes our day
More great tips from you! I always used to think a sunroof, moonroof were the same thing but they're not apparently. A sunroof is a solid panel that opens in the roof. A moonroof is when that panel is glass ... Go figure lol
Very correct I guess it depends on my day and how it’s going what I call them lol my friends always say six of 1/2 dozen of the other Great to hear from you again as always thank you so much
Thank you for reinforcing my doubt about lithium grease in these tracks. I wanted to grease mine to stop a slight rattle but the dust thing was sitting somewhere in my brain stopping me. Any 9yo kid can tell you the grease or oil on a bike chain attracts dirt and dust. Well, maybe not any, just the mildly observant or even obsessive ones. I think I'll dry lube then 303 the other bits.
Nice! The one thing I haven't tackled yet on my suv. It's giant moonroof hasn't worked right since I bought it. I will now dive into it!
Well Brad you can dig into it now get that thing working again Thank you for being here have a great night
Brad Conklin did u fix it ❓
Another good one. I'll be doing this shortly.
Sounds great you’ll love the results have a great night
Looks so nice my friend, thanks for sharing
You are very welcome thank you for viewing and being here with us as always you are much appreciated
We also polish glass on cars being restored, by using Fine Polishing Compound and a Buffer( Prefer a 3" Buffer), glass looks like new..
I'm going to start using the dry lube on my Grand this weekend. Thank you!
Claude you will love the results my friend that’s for sure have a great night my friend
Thanks a million for this Sweet Tip Tuesday! My guess was that you would used dry lube on the moon/sun roof! I guess great minds think alike! Also your water spot removal was "spot" on! I've used your method on all my auto glass with amazing results. Let momma put that spanking on them and easy perfect glass! Just FYI it was 108 here in Phoenix today, so detailing is becoming difficult. EVERYTHING flashes on the surface of the vehicle so it's slow going! Thanks again, you da PRO!!
Thank you Frank we truly appreciate that great minds do think a like I don’t know what I would do in 108° weather other than try to stay hydrated and cool I would probably live in my pool 24 seven until my skin was wrinkled up like a prune
That new Sweeeet intro Awesome so was this video : )
Thank you very much we like to have a little fun here we like to be serious but sometimes we like to just cut loose a little bit have a great night my friend
Ok nice need this another great video thanks family
You’re very welcome thank you very much
Did u see the video i did gave you a big shoutout up there
My Life thank you very much and we do appreciate you being a great subscriber and sharing our info. :)
Excellent job and video... Lithium don't we use that stuff to calm people down... lol Just kidding... I always clean the lithium off and replace it with dry lube
Great advice as always. Many thanks.
You’re very welcome Peter
Another little tip is to use Son Of a Gun or similar on the foam that most likely has dried up repeat as necessary with a cotton bud
Thank you Martin we truly appreciate that it’s great when people show their methods that’s for sure we use the old dawn platinum dish soap spray it in and suck that garbage out have a great day my friend
Is there anything we should be shooting down the roof drains to maintain them?
We like to use pure silicone spray for the vents thank you for asking Mike sweet project cars
Thanks for the great tip
You are very welcome my friend thank you very much for being here with us
Any tips for walnut interior trim pieces polishing and restoration
Viking raiders we will see what we can do for you on that are yours clearcoated?
Sweet Project Cars
Yes it's getting a bit milking in places. Like to shine up the lacquer too. I've heard the stuff they use on bowling lines works but can't get that here in the UK.
gotcha we use the mothers to clean it then use the carnauba to shine it unless it is really bad then it has to be recleared you could use the ceramic coating we use that stuff is amazing
Once again , thank you buddy for your vid. 👍
Very welcome my friend thank you so very much we truly appreciate that
wowwwwww excellent work as alway's thank you partner for sharing keep em'' rollin.
jimbola77 thank you very much my friend :)

Thank you kind Sir !
You’re very welcome Vincent have a great weekend
Thank you Sir...Perfect👌! One question though, for this procedure what would you usr on the rubber? 303, Lithium or would it be something else?
We recommend this amzn.to/35GTcka
or this amzn.to/2WQg0sB in this situation. Thanks for asking. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars Thanks Alot! I knew it had to be some good stuff 👍
Can I ceramic coat my windshield ?

Sweet Project Cars
Do you have experience with the ceramic coating on the windshield? Does it last? How long?
Those videos are coming up over the next couple of weeks but yes we do I think you’ll be quite amazed
tel me can that be done on any window? Like the rear one lets say?
We’ll be doing videos on this over the next couple weeks and I think you’ll be quite amazed
That was honey sweet! Love it.
Thank you very much my friend that is more than appreciated Have a great night
Can I use this same procedure (Mothers/0000 steel wool) on side mirrors without scratching?
acold strangeday you sure can but you may only need the mothers with a cloth if the mirrors are not to bad ..
What about the moonroof gaskets. How do you maintain them. I understand that there they fail and leak.
Hello Steve if you look in the show more of the video description you’ll see the UV protectant that we use to protect those gaskets thank you very much for asking my friend
I have a 2012 Volkswagen EOS. So this is helpful, but volkswagen claims to used a special cleaner.
John Diaz this will help any moonroof and you have to remember manufacturers make money on their own products..we have been working on cars and trucks for over 30 years and never have we used manufactures recommended cleaning or oil and fluid products and we have never had an issue, they are out to make money my friend.
@@SweetProjectCars you dont use OEM ATF ???
Thank You for the video. Can you show us a video on how to stop moonroof/sunroof leaks? I cannot find mind because sometimes it leaks and other times it does not leak. it use to pour inside the cab, but now it just drops ''around the inside molding''. I have a 2000 Chev Tahoe and it has a level kit on it. I thought, that the leveling kit will fix the problem, but it slows the leaks down.
Please HELP
Arthur
That’s a tough one Arthur that leak could be anywhere 99.9% of the time it’s in the seal you may have to replace that but we will see what we can do for you but you also might want to take it into a body shop and have them take a look at it we have found though it’s usually the seal
Arthur Pegues, I am betting one of your drain tubes is blocked at least partially. There's one at each corner so depending on the angle the vehicle is sitting and how heavy the rain is, would effect whether it overflows inside the headliner.
The easy way to clear them is net curtain spring-cable fed in from the top like a pipe-cleaner, followed up by a drain cleaner or general floor cleaner mixed with hot water and poured slowly into the sunroof tub water channels. Some manufacturers put self-closing rubber grommets on the end of the drain hoses that eventually clog up in the dry seasons and just get worse and worse. (I'm talking about you BMW!). Yanking them off if you can get to them is a good move.
Can you use the same and coating on the paint that you do on glass?
You sure can we have many videos on it if you look through them you’ll find out exactly how to do it
Hey Buddy can you recommend a good not too expensive dual action polisher for amateur home use ? Looking for under $200.
Thank you, Vinny
Vincent Kowski we sure can my friend we love this one amzn.to/2BbkNZo
Hi! Another amazing video from “Sweet Project Cars”. I have a bird drop marking on the front windshield and on side window of my MB R350. What can be done to clean that forever? Can this method would be ok? What do you suggest ? Thanks a lot my friend.
Bernardo Irizarry we are doing a video on this exact thing my friend in the next week or so...:
Sweet Project Cars / Thanks a Lot!!! I’ll be looking forward to watch the video.
Can I use this method on tinted windows?
You sure can as long as they are tinted inside the car or tinted in the glass from the factory you’ll be OK
Thanks man keep the videos coming they are the best tips out there
Duane Cavallaro thank you so much :) and we will keep them rolling
Is rain X ceramic coating or what do I use?
Kathy Lewis if you look below the video you will see, "SHOW MORE" this has all the tools we used in the video :)

Sweet Project Cars , Mike, I TOTALLY understand buddy! Idk how you do it now, there's going to be a point where you're not going to be able.

would you Ceramic coat your windshield?
I would and we have, I’ll be doing a video on more glass ceramic coating I think you’ll be very amazed
So I’ve had a leak now for months and finally found it about 2 weeks ago. So I cautiously have taken the inside apart to find the source and clean the mold. I discovered the rear drain hose behind the drivers side was not connected to the plastic piece attached to the track. So I thought oh good this was a nice obvious fix. Afterwards I have been taking on the cleaning part. I’m finally satisfied with everything and decided before putting the drivers seat and inside finishers back to test it out by washing the car since it hasn’t rained. Well I had water leaking in. I’m feeling defeated. I’m trying to fix this with no help and I’m just stuck and have no clue what to do next. Is there any way you could maybe check out a picture of my piece and let me know if you have any suggestions? Of course it’s supposed to rain tomorrow and storm Friday so I am freakin out!
I have a 2011 Nissan Altima coupe. Thank you for all the help you offer us!!
Nguthrie1980 can you send us pics of this as many as possible and we may be able to help you sweetprojectcars@gmail.com
Sweet Project Cars I’m just noticing your reply. I was able to figure out what the problem was. The drain hose that I reattached was not pushed up to the top of the nipple so it was leaking from there I think. So I pushed it all the way up and put a hose clamp on all 4 to prevent future problems with them coming off. Waiting for the next rain to get a real test!
Is there a solution that I can safely pour in the tube directly to help clean the little bit of build up?
I figured with having access to the tube and not needing to pour on to track system it would be a good idea to try and start completely clean. Thank you for the prompt reply last time. I was so panicked I forgot to check it!
Nguthrie1980 yes get some 99% and dump it through a few times and that will clean it good
Sweet Project Cars ok I was thinking about using that but didn’t know if it would be ok with the tube material. I use it to clean everything else that I didn’t think it would. I’m more comfortable with hearing it from you. Thanks again!
Nguthrie1980 Floor cleaner (with ammonia) or shower scum cleaner mixed with water is a great cleaner for the drain hoses. The gunk that builds up in there can be locked up with mould and moisture and crud. 90% of the time the crud is what blocks the hoses but the hose coming loose is the about 9% too. The last 1% can be kinked hoses from sloppy manufacturing assembly! Yes, I've seen a few. They don't block fully but can back up with crud or water in real heavy downpours. Well done sussing and fixing your problem!
Will it hurt if you get it on the wires?
Kathy Lewis absolutely not my dear we have done this for years..
Could I treat all my car glass like this?
Will be doing videos on this over the next couple of weeks I think you’ll be quite amazed thank you for asking have a great night
I have a question on my sun or moon roof. It will start to open then it clicks. I have a 2007 Ford Escape XLT
That sounds like bad news sounds like your gears are stripped out, that happens because of the lack of lube has caused the sunroof to work too hard that it actually takes the gears out chews the teeth right off them sorry about that my friend
Oh that is bad news. I recently picked up the escape and it was making the noise. Sounds like I have my work cut out for me.
Thanks for all the good info
You can fix it doug it’s not an issue there I’ll just be a bit time consuming
Yes I can, I'm now looking for the parts. 👍🏻
Doug Harris Awesome and good luck with it my friend :)
Does that stuff smell like oil ?
No smell whatsoever that’s why we use it my friend that and it’s one of the best lubricants for this type of situation out there today
Sweet Project Cars Thanks.
you are very welcome :)
O yeah spanken time
Yep time for some spankings LOL
