What's up guys welcome back to the Detail Garage.
Today we've got this Ford Edge in the shop and just like many of you have it has water
spots, scratches and oxidation on the wheels.
So using our Ball Buster Polishing Pad we're going to clean it all up to get this rim looking
shiny and its best.
Using some Light Metal Polish that has natural cleaning oils and wax that brings out the
shine as well as protect the finish.
More importantly it is going to get rid of harmful elements that are stuck in the wheel
which can start degrading the finish causing premature wheel failure.
To load up our pad we're going to shake up the bottle to mix all the chemicals together.
I'll apply a couple dots to the applicator.
Then I'll spread it out on the area that we'll be working on.
This can be used with a regular drill, we'll keep it on the lowest speed setting so we
are still in control but the great thing about this brush is it has a built in sleeve that
while you're working prevents you from putting your hand on a spinning shaft.
The appearance of the Ball Buster may seem big and intimidating but it is really soft
and contours to the crevices of the wheel getting the spokes cleaned up.
We're going to get started by slowly spreading it out and then we work it in until it has
done its job and at that time we'll buff off the excess.
So now that I've worked the polish into this small section, I'll take a gray microfiber
towel and start buffing it off.
The reason I went for gray is because I dedicated these for any kind of metal surfaces like
polished aluminum wheels or exhaust tips to prevent cross contaminating it with any other
areas of the vehicle.
Already you can see there is a high shine, it looks factory and all the water spots are
gone.
It has done a great job and it is super easy to use so now I'm not fatigued or tired and
now I can finish off the other three wheels.
So if you want to learn more about these products check them out on our website ChemicalGuys.com.
If you like this video be sure to give it a thumbs up and we'll see you guys next time
right here in the Detail Garage.

What You Don't Know About TESLA! - Duration: 11:10.
What You Don't Know About Tesla!
17.
An Affordable Tesla Right now Teslas are considered to be luxury
vehicles, and their prices reflect that.
What most people don't know, however, is that Tesla has always planned to release an
affordable car.
Elon Musk has long said in interviews that his plan for breaking into the car market
as a new player was to establish the Tesla brand as a well known high-end carmaker, and
then use that brand recognition to push into the consumer car market.
The Model 3 is that offering, and will start at just $35,000 when it is released later
this year.
16.
Second-Oldest Publicly Traded American Car Manufacturer
It may seem surprising, but Tesla Motors is actually the second-oldest publicly traded
American auto manufacturer, behind Ford which had its initial public offering in 1956.
This is because General Motors, or GM, despite being traded since 1916, went bankrupt and
had their stock de-listed in 2009.
GM did re-enter the stock market with an IPO in November 2010, but this was five months
after Tesla's IPO in June of 2010.
Chrysler re-entered the market in 2014.
15.
In The Company of Friends Although Tesla Motors is still considered
a new, up-and-coming car manufacturer, they've got quite a lot to show for their time in
the world.
Tesla Motors currently employs more than 14,000 people, has a market value exceeding $33 billion,
and has seen its stock rise more than 1000% since its first public offering.
Although the company technically hasn't had a profitable year yet, their annual revenue
continues to rise year over year, with revenues rising nearly $1 billion each year since 2013.
As of right now, Tesla Motors sells mainly direct to customers, as its sales model is
having difficulty gaining traction in many states.
In fact, Tesla currently only has 52 showrooms worldwide, compared to thousands owned by
other car manufacturers.
14.
Tesla Repaid Their ATVM Loan - 9 Years Early The Department of Energy lent Tesla Motors
a whopping $465 million to help them get off the ground and get operations set up.
They were given a term of 12 years to repay the loan when it was awarded to the fledgling
company in 2010.
However, Tesla raised over $1 billion in their second offering, and wisely chose to put about
half of those funds to getting their ATVM loan paid off - a full 9 years before they
were scheduled to do so.
13.
The Model S Broke The Stress Testing Machine The Tesla Model S, by far their most successful
vehicle to date, is renowned for being one of the safest, most durable vehicles on the
road.
It's so safe, in fact, that when the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
attempted to administer a crush test to the Model S, it actually broke their machine.
That's right - the machine designed to break cars itself broke when it tried to crush the
Model S. Because of this, the Model S holds the title for the highest safety rating of
any car, ever.
12.
Highest Ever Consumer Reports Rating Consumer Reports, the organization and publication
which is widely trusted for providing crucially accurate information about products, recently
gave the Tesla Model S the highest rating they've ever awarded any car - a 99/100.
This came after rigorous testing and retesting to ensure that they hit every possible point
and discovered every possible weakness, and even then they were still astonished by how
robust the car is.
The only points the car really got against it all had to do with how it charges - the
all-electric vehicle can take up to 12 hours to refill its batteries, and charging stations
are not yet available throughout the country.
Tesla has plans to change that, however, and already offers free charging up and down the
California coast.
11.
Tesla Supercharging Network Regarding that network up and down the California
coast, it's pretty remarkable already.
Formally announced in 2012, the network of superchargers aims to downplay anxiety over
the range of Tesla vehicles - owners and potential owners alike worry that they will not be able
to take long trips in their Tesla vehicle, since there currently aren't many places
to top up.
The network built by Tesla now provides a much faster option, and for free.
The network of Tesla charging stations currently offer a service which can charge your battery
to 50% in just 30 minutes, and are planning to integrate a system which will allow them
to swap your battery out for a full one, essentially giving you a full charge in about 2 minutes.
10.
A Name From Greatness The name Tesla is now a familiar one in American
households, and this is largely due to the excellent marketing and strategies of CEO
Elon Musk.
However, less people know where the name itself comes from.
The name Tesla is an homage to Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American electrical engineer who
lived in the early part of the 20th century and is directly responsible for nearly every
modern electrical device.
Although Thomas Edison is given credit for bringing electricity to the masses, his systems
actually fell far short of those created by Tesla, and it was Tesla's designs which
have made our modern life possible.
Tesla Motors was named after this man to honor his legacy as well as to celebrate the work
he did.
9.
Elon Musk Wants To Eliminate Side Mirrors Although he has already significantly changed
the face of the auto industry, Elon Musk isn't done yet.
He also wants to change the face of the cars themselves - literally.
When the Model X was debuted, spectators noticed it lacked side mirrors.
Instead, the car used small cameras built into the doors, paired with monitors on the
inside of the doors, to replace the antiquated side mirror system.
This drastically reduced the drag coefficient of the vehicle (giving it far better aerodynamics),
while keeping the vehicle just as safe.
Unfortunately this broke Federal safety regulations, so the production model of the X does in fact
have side mirrors.
Nevertheless, Musk has stated that he will seek to change those law.
8.
Tesla's Patents Are 100% Open For Use Elon Musk has stated many times that his number
one priority with Tesla Motors is to change how humans interact with the environment.
To do this, he knows that he has to make electric cars viable for mainstream acceptance, as
well as make people want them.
Rather than just trying to do this on his own, though, Musk has taken a fairly revolutionary
step with Tesla - he has made all of its patents open for public use.
Musk encourages other manufacturers to adopt the creations and improvements Tesla has made,
in order to bring these features into public use faster and more widely than would otherwise
be possible.
This is an unprecedented step, and one for which Tesla has been widely commended.
7.
Musk Didn't Start Tesla On His Own Although Elon Musk deserves much of the credit
for the mainstream, widespread success of Tesla Motors, he didn't do it all on his
own.
In fact, the company was originally founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning.
In fact, Eberhard served as the company's CEO until 2007.
Musk came into the company when he led the first investment round in 2004 and joined
the board of directors as Chairman, later of course going on to become the company's
CEO.
6.
The Gigafactory No one has bet on Tesla's success more than
Tesla itself.
In fact, the company is investing more than $5 billion to build what it calls the Gigafactory
1.
The factory, which will produce lithium-ion batteries both for use in Tesla vehicles as
well as home battery arrays for solar power, is being constructed in Nevada and, although
it is not 100% operational as of yet, is already producing batteries on a limited scale.
The name Gigafactory comes from the company's goal for the plant to be able to produce 35
gigawatt-hours annually.
It is expected that this facility will reduce the cost to produce a Tesla battery by as
much as 30%.
Tesla is so invested in this idea that a Gigafactory 2 is already being planned for Europe.
5.
Commitment to Renewable Energy Tesla means business when it comes to renewable
energy.
With a facility as large and energy-hungry as the Gigafactory discussed above, you'd
think that Tesla would have to cave and subsidise some of its power needs with traditional grid
power.
Not so, actually - the Gigafactory will run on 100% renewable energy.
Much of this will come from onsite solar sources, since the Gigafactory is being constructed
in sunny Nevada, and will itself be covered in solar panels.
Tesla notes on its website that the Gigafactory will offset its energy needs so much by generating
renewable energy that its energy footprint will balance out to essentially zero.
4.
Virtually No Replacements Needed A lot of people still don't quite understand
the appeal of electric vehicles.
And that's okay - companies have a long way to go before they can convince the American
public that getting rid of their gas guzzler is a good idea.
This is especially challenging when the entry cost for a Model S is just shy of $90,000.
But one fact which might help sway some potential buyers is that the Model S itself, once you
own it, requires virtually no maintenance.
The electric motor is far less hassle to maintain than an internal combustion engine, and the
car only has 6 parts which need regular replacement.
Those parts are the 4 tires and the 2 windshield wiper blades.
3.
Solving A Major Problem Although the Model S is known to be essentially
the safest vehicle ever made, Tesla ran into some bad press in 2013 when certain car collisions
resulted in vehicle fires.
This was due mainly to the battery packs which power the Model S being punctured and catching
fire.
Although the drivers all exited the vehicles long before safety became an issue, Tesla
nevertheless received a lot of bad press regarding the incidents, and was forced to respond.
Their response was total; Tesla installed three shields along the underbody of the Model
S which effectively eliminated the risk.
The shields consist of a rounded, hollow aluminum bar which deflect or absorb the impact of
any debris in the road.
The next piece, the most substantial, is a titanium plate covering the battery area as
well as the front of the vehicle, and not only protects the vehicle but will destroy
objects caught under it.
Finally a solid aluminum extrusion blocks any debris which might remain and absorbs
the impact, effectively negating the risk they pose.
2.
Bioweapon Defense As if regular everyday safety weren't enough,
Tesla Motors has equipped the Model X with a medical-grade air filter which is capable
of scrubbing the air inside the cabin of everything from smog to bioweapons.
In fact, this system is modeled after and specced to match that of hospital filtration
systems.
1.
What's In A Name You may have noticed that Tesla has what appears
to be a fairly straight forward naming system for their vehicles.
They've only produced three cars to date, but the names themselves, while simple, might
seem a bit arbitrary to you.
We've got the Model S, the high-end luxury sedan, then came the Model Y, the luxury SUV.
Recently announced and soon to be released is the Model 3, the consumer grade Tesla.
What do these names stand for?
Well, it might become a bit clearer when you realize that the next Tesla is rumored to
be the Model Y, and that Elon Musk himself has confirmed that the naming conventions
do have a purpose.
Let's line those up, and it should become clear.
S,3,X,Y.

MOC Lego Technic drift car chassis. Front axles - Duration: 5:07.
Hi everybody!
Today I want to talk about the front axles
designed for the drift chassis.
This is the first axle.
Building instruction for this chassis can be found on my channel.
The main idea was
to implement the McPherson suspension
with increased angle of wheels rotation.
Now I'll show.
Such angle.
On this chassis I used a L size motor,
but the drive is not enough yet.
so
I decided
to design
chassis
in the same style
slightly smaller.
So
was designed such a front axle for it.
The angles of rotation of the wheels are also preserved here
as in the first chassis.
The McPherson suspension also works in any wheels position.
Building instruction to this chassis I post later.
On this I did not stop.
I want to do something more compact
in the same style.
And...
it turned out to be something like that.
Also implemented McPherson suspension,
but with some features.
Now I'll show.
The dimensions of the existing parts did not fit here.
Therefore, such a decision was made.
I do not even know how to call it.
From the standard lego part was made non-standard.
Like this
Shortened.
And rod.
The standard part for comparison.
That's all. Thank you all!

Electric Car Battery Pack Upgrades: How BMW and Renault Are Leading The Pack - Duration: 6:31.
Admit it, you hate it when you buy a new computer or mobile phone only to have a newer, better
one come out the week later.
And I bet it's happened to you at least once.
And as you'll know if you've purchased an electric car, there's a similar amount
same pain and suffering when your new car gets superseded by a newer, more capable model
with a larger capacity battery pack and longer range.
It's double the pain if this new car is practically identical to yours -- only with
a larger battery pack.
Why?
Because while Tesla used to let you upgrade your battery pack, it doesn't any more.
Nor do most automakers out there, claiming that the swap is either technically difficult
or simply too expensive.
Except two.
BMW and Renault.
And I'm going to tell you all about how cool these two companies are in offering such
an upgrade next.
Hi everyone!
It's Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield here from Transport Evolved and today we're going to talk about
battery swapping.
No, I don't mean the rapid battery swap tech that failed company Better Place tried
to to use across Israel to shift everyone to clean, green electric cars powered by renewable
energy…
Nor do I mean Tesla's experimental battery swap station that was supposed to offer Tesla
customers long-range travel without needing to wait at a Supercharger station for an hour
while their car refuelled.
No, I'm talking about taking your existing electric car battery pack and swapping it
out for a more capable, longer-range version when one becomes available, not only giving
your electric car a new lease of life if it's getting a little long in the tooth but actually
extending its capabilities and range beyond what was possible when it was new.
So far, battery upgrades have been a little bit of a pain in the butt to get.
While most automakers out there will quite happily replace a battery pack under warranty
(if it suffers premature ageing or catastrophic capacity loss that's outside of what the
warranty says is normal) you'll likely get a new battery pack that's the same capacity
as the original one.
Sometimes that battery pack will even include newer, next-generation cells to ensure longer
life and better performance in extreme temperatures -- but you're going to get the same capacity
as you originally had.
The only exception to that historically has been Tesla, which at one time did let early
Tesla Model S owners swap out lower-capacity battery packs for higher-capacity ones -- provided
they paid the appropriate upgrade fee.
Last year, BMW became the first automaker to officially offer battery upgrades for owners
of its i3 electric car, offering those in key markets the chance to swap their car's
original 22 kilowatt-hour battery packs for upgraded 33 kilowatt-hour battery packs.
UK and U.S. customers aren't able to take advantage of this, as neither BMW UK nor BMW
North America signed up to the scheme, but those in mainland Europe can upgrade their
BMW i3's battery pack for seven thousand euro (about seven thousand six hundred U.S.
dollars or six thousand pounds), provided they exchange the new pack for their old one.
The old battery then heads off to BMW where it enters into BMW's second-life program
to become part of a grid-tied electricity storage system.
And if you've got that extra money, that's a great upgrade opportunity in order to extend
the original 81 miles of the BMW i3 EV to 114 miles.
But you still have to pay the extra money and that's quite a chunk of change to find
behind the back of the sofa.
But earlier this week French automaker Renault announced that it would soon be offering owners
of its ZOE electric car the chance to upgrade their ZOE's existing battery pack from the
22 kilowatt-hour pack it came with to the latest-generation 41 kilowatt-hour pack.
That's nearly double the capacity of the original pack, meaning double the range in
real-world conditions.
And what's more, customers won't have to fork out quite as much on the upgraded
pack in one sitting as BMW customers, because in most European markets the Renault ZOE is
sold to customers without a battery pack -- and then it charges customers a monthly lease
fee based on the number of miles they expect to do per year.
Pricing to upgrade your ZOE Z.E. from 22 kilowatt-hours to 41 kilowatt-hours is reportedly three thousand
five hundred Euro if you lease your current battery pack (plus you'll have to sign up
to a new battery rental contract which will likely carry a higher monthly cost) or nine
thousand nine hundred euro if you happen to live in one of the markets where Renault has
been selling ZOE with a battery pack as part of the purchase deal.
Now, whatever your thought on battery leasing -- many European customers are said to prefer
outright purchase to leasing -- this means that it might be easier to budget for a battery
upgrade if you're a ZOE driver than say a BMW i3 owner.
But like all other automakers, know that both Renault and BMW would unofficially prefer
you to buy a new car.
After all, that's where they make most their money, right?
Can you switch from a leased 22 kilowatt-hour to a purchased 41 kilowatt-hour pak?
Yes, but you'll have to pay out the lease deal with Renault Credit International (which
is seven thousand euro when new, depreciating by ten percent for every year you've owned
the car).
That said however, if you're looking to extend the life of your car -- which is by
far the more ecological solution to just buying a new car -- battery pack upgrades are the
way forward, which is why I think every automaker should offer them.
They won't of course, but hey, I can wish right?
How about you?
Do you think battery pack upgrades are a good or a bad thing?
Have you had a battery pack upgrade for your car?
How did it go?
Was it worth the extra money?
And would you do it again?

Tuesday and Car Rambles - Duration: 4:15.
Welcome back to Tuesdays on Halcyon Hooligans.
My name is Jonah.
I am your Tuesday host.
This week on Halcyon Hooligans we are talking about our favorite places.
Man oh man it is fitting that I am in my car because guess what?
My car is one of my absolute favorite places to be.
I have several favorite places, and I'm going to share just a couple of them, but definitely
my favorite place is my car.
I live in a super beautiful area, and driving places in my car and just like taking everything
in, parking somewhere, getting out and wandering around is one of my absolute favorite things
to do.
My car's name is Roxie.
She takes me to where I need to go.
She takes me on the adventures I love to have.
It was really hard on me because when I had surgery I was unable to drive for a few weeks,
and I couldn't just get in my car and go somewhere.
I was very cooped up, and I had really bad cabin fever.
It was awful.
So besides my bed, my car is probably the number one place that I spend time in.
I really liked what Ally had to say about her favorite places just being places that
she felt safe, and I feel really secure in my car, and I like being able to go somewhere
and just like get away by myself or share that with somebody if I want to share that
with somebody.
I live right on the Mississippi River, and there's a beautiful like waterfront there
that you can like go and walk on and then there's like a little beach area.
And it's just, it's so beautiful and like no matter what season it is, it's it's just
like so lovely to go and look at everything that's there.
It's just so calming and so nice.
So I love going to the waterfront, I love going to the state parks, I love just being
in my car and going for drives around my city.
My last favorite place is my favorite coffee shop.
The vibe, the atmosphere, the employees, everything in this coffee shop is amazing.
I love going there.
There was a time in my life where I was going there like four to five times a week even
though they're only open six days a week.
And I was spending so much money and I didn't even need to.
It's not like I was craving lattes every day.
It's not like I was wanting to spend five dollars every day on a latte, but I just loved
the atmosphere in there so much that I wanted to go there all the time just to get away
from my house.
And it was a little absurd how much money I was spending there, and then I finally was
like okay, slow down.
And now it's like just a once every couple of weeks kind of treat.
I love being in there and drinking my lattes and sitting in a window seat and watching
out the window at all the cars and just people watching in the actual place itself.
They all make me feel very safe and just very like mmm very content like a nice warm hug.
Speaking of warm hugs, I wanted to mention that I am so pleased with all of the videos
from last week's topic of childhood memories.
It was so wonderful hearing all of your memories.
I love hearing other people's stories and the things that they've bothered to remember
I suppose.
So I just wanted to say I really loved everybody's video, and it just like made my heart feel
so nice and it felt like a warm hug in itself.
I'm still trying to figure out how I want to address everybody's videos because obviously
I want to reply to them, but I don't know if I want to do that in a video style at a
section of my video or if I want to reply in a comment or how I want to do that.
I'm still trying to iron that out, but I just wanted to say in general I loved everybody's
videos last week.
As far as media goes, oh my goodness, Spotify has a Discovery Weekly playlist feature where
basically they make you a playlist based on the things they think you might like according
to the things you've been listening to.
And I never really used to listen to it.
Um and lately it's been more of a boredom thing.
If I get bored of what I'm listening to, I'm like "Ah I guess I'll listen to Spotify Discover
Weekly."
And I found this artist a couple of weeks ago when I was listening to Discover Weekly
and I've just been listening to that artist more and more.
And the artist is called The Cinema, and they have this song called "The Wolf", and it's
so wonderful.
It just makes me feel like I'm in some kind of indie film, and ah god it's just so awesome.
I love it so much.
I don't know what platform you like to listen to your music on, but I will leave a link
to the Youtube version as well as the Spotify version down below.
So go check that out because The Cinema is awesome.
It's raining quite a bit here and my cashew latte is empty, so I think I'm going to head
home.
I hope you have a great week.
Um Lauren I will see you tomorrow, and the rest of you will see me next Tuesday per usual.
Thank you so much for watching.
Peace.

Toyota reveals life-sized HiLux Tonka truck - Duration: 1:09.
This is the Toyota Hilux like you've never seen it before.
The Japanese manufacturer has turned its popular truck into a sand-churning monster, courtesy
of a one-off partnership with toy company Tonka.
The HiLux Tonka Concept is based on Toyota's regular SR5 double cab.
Weighing in at 2.4 tonnes, the vehicle's ride height has been raised six-inches, there
are big 35-inch tyres along with heavy-duty underbody protection to stave off any rocks
or trees lurking underneath.
Lighting isn't a problem, courtesy of powerful LED light bars which illuminate the road ahead…
and you'll have no trouble spotting the Tonka concept either, courtesy of its bright
yellow 'Sun Fusion' paint scheme.
The Tonka concept commemorates the 70th and 80th birthdays respectively for Tonka and
Toyota.
And while it's not slated for production, there is speculation that many of the components
of the prototype could soon become part of the broader Toyota parts catalogue.

3 Car Insurance Questions for College Students | Allstate Insurance - Duration: 1:22.
College is a big life change, which means your car insurance needs may change, too.
To help make sure your coverage fits your situation, consider these three questions.
If you're leaving your car at your parents' house — and they live at least 100 miles
from your school — you may be eligible for a discount on your car insurance policy because
you won't be driving as much.
But, if you're taking your car to school, think about where it will be parked.
If it's most often parked outside, for example, consider comprehensive coverage.
It may help pay to replace your car if it's stolen or repair it if it's damaged by things
like hail or vandalism.
Collision coverage may be a good idea if you'll be driving to and from class, for example.
It may help pay to repair your car if it's damaged in an accident with another vehicle
or object.
If you're leasing or financing your vehicle, collision and comprehensive coverage are usually
required by your lender.
If your car is paid off, though, you may be able to drop one or both coverages from your
car insurance policy to help save on premiums.
Many insurance companies offer good-grade benefits to students up to age 25.
Now that you know your options, talk to your agent.
He or she can answer questions about your car insurance options and help you adjust
your coverage.
