When I bought these Curad Nitrile Gloves, it was a medium size and had 200 powder-free disposable gloves in one box. The thing I like about using nitrile gloves is that you get a lot of gloves, so whenever your hands get dirty and slippery, you can simply remove them and throw on a new pair. They do tend to be prone to ripping because they are thin however.
Because my project car also has the infamous pixelated instrument cluster, I can’t exactly tell what the issues are. So I thought this would be an opportune time to try out TOPDON’s ArtiDiag Pro, a diagnostic tool that not only can give me insight into the trouble codes my vehicle has, but also allow me to do any other kind of diagnostics I need to. For this review, TOPDON supplied this scan tool for me to test and offer my honest opinion on.
The most popular foam gun on Amazon right now is the Foam King Foam Gun, which costs just under $40 at the time of this writing (and down to around $30 when it’s on sale.) I decided to give it a try. As you can see, my project Audi TT has not had a car wash in a pretty long time. Tons of dirt is sitting atop the car, so a pre-soak is just what the doctor ordered.
I came across this set of TOZO Tonal Dots T12 Wireless Earbuds for about $30 and they looked like it might be an upgrade from the previous ones I had. Upon unboxing these earbuds, I immediately realized that they were slightly larger than my previous TOZO NC9’s. The earbuds also come with a charging case, along with a number of different size ear cups to fit your ears.
One of the newest ceramic coatings to come out in the market is Meguiar’s Professional Beyond Ceramic Paint Coating. Meguiar’s has been around for a long time and offers a large line of consumer grade and professional grade car care products for your car. The last time I put a ceramic coating on my truck was about 2-3 years ago, so it was definitely time to put on a new one. For full disclosure, Meguiar’s sent me this product to test and write a review, so I’m happy to try it out and share my experience with it.
Meguiar’s popular Non-Acid Wheel & Tire Cleaner is available in a ready-to-use formula in spray bottle form. This wheel & tire cleaner can be used on factory OEM clear-coated, painted, chrome wheels, and tires. One 32oz. bottle runs you about $20, but you can get a lot more value if you get the 1 gallon version (128oz.) that costs only an additional 15 bucks or so.
If you want an easy installation and want to avoid issues with safety with a window air conditioner unit, another convenient option may be to use a portable air conditioner and punch a hole through your wall for the vent hose. Just like the window air conditioner, a portable unit will likely not have ability to fully cool down your garage space, but it can certainly keep a small section of your garage cool and at least bring the temperature down a bit overall.
This deadbolt lock is called the U-Bolt Pro WiFi Smart Deadbolt. It can connect to your home’s WiFi and to an app on your smartphone, allowing you to remotely lock and unlock your door, as well as configure various settings and users on the device. You can even set up your fingerprint (or other family members’ or guests’ fingerprints) to unlock as well.
One of the biggest improvements to my garage during my renovation has been upgrading the standard ceiling-mounted, belt-driven garage door opener to a wall-mounted one that has smart capabilities. I purchased the Genie B6172H Wall Mount Smart Garage Door Opener while it was on sale (around $425) when it typically sells for about $500 regular price. This unit mounts to the wall right by the garage door and drives the garage door using its internally driven shaft, eliminating the need for the bulky ceiling-mounted garage door opener and track.
