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.

When it comes to earphones or earbuds, nothing would stay in my ears. That’s until I tried the TOZO NC9 earbuds. They go in your ears tilted forward, and then you rotate them back to sit in your ears. After they are wedged into your ear, they just don’t come out. I love these things because for the first time in 20 years of trying all kinds of earphones/earbuds, I’ve found ones that stay in my ears.

U-Haul offers a variety of rental vehicles for your move. There are a range of moving trucks, cargo trailers (enclosed), and utility trailers (unenclosed). Moving trucks and vans don’t require you to have a vehicle or any additional equipment; your normal Class C driver’s license will suffice. Although, it is undoubtably much more difficult to drive such a large vehicle at times. Here is my review based on using U-Haul’s moving trucks and trailers for several trips between Northern and Southern California.

Hand cleaner is a useful product to have on hand (no pun intended) in the shop. If you’ve ever found yourself with oil or grease on your hands and using soap wasn’t enough, you’ll know that the only thing that can truly clean your hands is a pumice cleaner. Fast Orange Hand Cleaner is a bit more abrasive and is very effective at getting oil and grease off of my hands.

Meguiar’s Hyper Dressing is one of the most well-known dressings on the market today not just because of its effectiveness, but most of all because of its versatility. Whether you like gloss or a satin look, Meguiar’s Hyper Dressing can be diluted to obtain any look you want. I tried Meguiar’s Hyper Dressing myself and want to provide my thoughts about this popular product. As a full disclosure, Meguiar’s supplied me with this product to test and write an review on.
