Hey Mike, I did this on my 06 Mini Cooper S project car. I followed everything you said. Heavenly results! AC was blowing 75 before project. Now it is in the low 20’s. You know your stuff and I’m very grateful for your helpful videos. All the best!
Awesome Greg! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your great results, we really appreciate it, have a fantastic week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Good afternoon, a very welcome tip for cold ac. Another trick for pure isopropyl alcohol is to mix it 50-50 ratio with deionized water to remove static electricity on the surface of your car prior to painting. Unbelievable how well this works. I learned this trick from an engineer in an electronics assembly laboratory. They use this solution for dust free assembly of delicate components in electron microscopes. Hope this helps.
One of the tricks I learned from a AC professor at a college is to run a water hose over the condenser when filling the system with refrigerant. It increases the pressure drop and helps to draw more refrigerant into the system.
Overcharged ac units are just as bad as undercharged units. Metering devices are designed to allow a certain amount of pressure through and maintain a certain back pressure behind it. The trick of warming/cooling is used for evacuating or charging, by weight, a system. The reason why is you cool your reclaimer jug to decrease pressure in the jug, allowing refrigerant to more easily be pumped into it. The reverse is true when fresh charging a system. You heat the jug in the sun to increase pressure within the jug, allowing the refrigerant to flow faster into the system.
Nice work! Thank you for watching and sharing your results Mercurio, we really appreciate it, hope you have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Hey Mike i just did this ac cleaning to my house ac condenser outside. It really didn't look that dirty BUT man after your cleaning suggestion WOW is all I can say! Wife bringing home more windex so I can do the cars next. Thank you again for the amazing tips and tricks my friend!!!!!
Sweeeeeeet project cars! Thanks for sharing us some of your wisdom. People forget that it takes many trial and errors until you find the best way to do things
Don’t make the mistake I did getting careless with the pressure washer cleaning everything in site. Took forever to straighten the fins out. Didn’t know they would bend over that easily. Good video.
That's why we suggest using this amzn.to/3lza8zV for this job, not too harsh because, yes, they do bend easily, Don. Thank you for watching and sharing, we really appreciate it, have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Very good suggestion on the cleaning and maintenance of the ac Unit. You may want to take it with a huge grain of salt with the 2 to 3 times statement as that is misleading. Safer way to say it might be up to 2 times as cold as opposed to 2 to 3 times. This is something that anyone can do and yes it does help substantially.
Amazing. This worked. Purchased the products and followed your directions. Removed my grill. My condenser and radiator had very few bent fins however straighten the ones that were bent. Sprayed the the 2 products as directed. Temperature from the vents dropped 8 degrees.
I clean the condensers on my vehicles ever year before hot weather. I use another foaming coil cleaner than the one you have, I buy it at Johnston Supply. Gets plum nippily in the summer Also, this saves the compressor because it doesn't have to work as hard.

I learned in my domestic certificate 3 in aircon install and service to use white vinegar and let it sit. The Acetic acid kills mould, cleans up my transmission cooler as well. I rinse after about 15 minutes. It comes up spotless and I have to keep my aircon on and off in Australia. Unless it's 45 degrees Celsius? Lol. Then she goes flat stick. After hopping out of the car it's like walking into an oven. I'm going to dry this method. Cheers from Australia subbed and liked because I saw you using some awesome tricks. Cheers from Australia 🙂👍👍👍
This is good info. thanks for the video. i normally use the water hose on the radiator and the condenser in my car but i will definitely try this out. Also, remember to change the cabin air filter aka "the forgotten air filter" A dirty cabin air filter blocks a huge amount of air flow passing through the air vents inside the car thus decreasing the air efficiency. Thanks again Mike!
You can use whatever you want to use, we are just sharing what we have tried and tested over 40 years and know it works plus is safe for you and your vehicle. Thanks for watching Victor, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I'm excited to try this on my car!! Your videos are fantastic! Unfortunately 99 is not sold in Brazil because people are too dumb to handle it. Would a 70% alcohol be enough for this cleaning please? Thanks! Send my regards to Hoolio
If you use this link amzn.to/3wIDQHd it will give you the comparable for your country Marcos! We're with you my friend, we have been seeing products we have always used being re-made for these particular people and they don't work as well :( Thank you for watching and sharing, have a great week and all the best on your project. Hoolio sends his regards as well! mad Mike the hammer SPC
Good vid: where to get old 99 ? FYI: specs call for 44 F out of vent for cars, 55 out of vent for houses, but hey if you are close you'll be comfortable. I got mine down to 24F (yes, 24 F out of vent), asked ac guy if that was too much freon, he said no,,, it just won't cool if you put too too much in ? ,, thanks.
I'm surprised that you only talked about the condenser, but didn't talk about the evaporator. I know that is hard to get to, but it gets dirty too. Also, some cars have an evaporator filter and if it is dirty, air flow will be restricted, which will reduce the capacity. Just another tip...
Mr. Mike, how often does this concoction need to be re-applied for optimal performance? once every two weeks? once a month? once a season? or is it one of those "it depends"? Thank you.
Hello qingdom, we recommend this process every season, or once a year. Thanks for watching and asking, we really appreciate it, have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC

Yes you should wait the hour, Evan. Thanks for watching and asking, hope all turned out well for you on your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Should change the title to how turn your car into a refrigerator, awesome trick. Every time I watch your videos my mind is blown. If everyone watched your videos we wouldn't be having shortages of stuff. Secret spray to turn your used old toilet paper into NEW!

Even though i don't have a truck but it maybe will help someone who had a big truck..very nice..or could you make a video for a car. It will help a lot of people..may god bless you my friend.
It's the exact same process Spozz, we did mention in the video how to deal with a condenser that is further in also. Thank you for watching, God bless you my friend. Have a fantastic weekend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Awesome video Mr. Mike! I had no idea of the fin combs. I've found that 2 stepping just about any cleaning or paint resto project really provides superior results. The other day I cleaned my greasy stove top off with Windex but even with modest effort I could easily see it left residue streaking behind. I followed it up with a clean microfiber and some Invisible Glass foaming spray and presto, it looked as clean as the day the range was delivered brand new!
This will work on any radiator, also, see our other videos on radiator cleaning. Thanks for watching and asking, have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Also clean any leaves built up over air intake vents in the plastic cowling base of your windscreen I check mine weekly also helps to keep the drain holes clear prevents blockage 👀✔

Absolutely man. It's almost no risk and even selling the service under the guise of reducing the pressure on the compressor to increase it's lifespan. You charge a reasonable amount, folks will totally go for it.
I have to work through the chemistry on this one- windex and ol’99, then what looks like oven cleaner (NaOH, sodium hydroxide). I have to get me some of those combs...
We recommend this amzn.to/2PsTil5 and these amzn.to/3eb1R1c Thank you so much for watching Gregory. Have a great day my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Mr. Mike, thank you for the video. I watched it all the way through and I am unable to locate your parts list. I don't see the and more that you spoke of. How can I get your list. Thanks in advance.
Thank you very much Eriberto, we truly appreciate the view and comment, glad to have you here with us, have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I would do the whole procedure the first time, then only the condenser for every other time you do the process. Thanks for watching and asking Kevin. Hope you have a great day. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I just want to thank you. My a/c used to run so cold I had drops of water on my a/c vents. I cleaned the condenser on my car. It had atleast 15 bees or something similar stuck in it. 😳 No wonder it wasn't blowing so good.

If by chance you get to read this . This is a different subject. I have a 24’ car hauler white aluminum sides . Black streaks are getting bad . What tricks do you have for black streaks ? I have tried several different products . Do you have a secret formula that you have created in your lab that works ? Lol
Hello Peter, do this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YmzeZS4QO4g.html then use this amzn.to/3fXgCoX and you won't have that problem anymore, you will need a couple bottles of it but it's what we use on larger items like trailers, RV's etc. Hope this helps my friend. Thank you for watching and asking. Have a nice weekend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Great Video ! I was thinking when i seen you clean your truck Air Conditioning grill. Can you do the same process or technic to clean the Mini Split pump (House Air Conditioning) ? I guess the technicians needs to come clean the Air Conditioning - Split pumps every 2 years and after the air becomes super cold also. Would save lots of money if we can do it ourselves...
This should work wonders on a radiator or oil cooler as well. But: what if you can't find "old 99" anywhere? Any suggestions or alternatives? Or can I se 91%? Great video, just on the heels of using 303 on the tires, belts and wiper blades.

LOL, no on both :) Thanks for watching and for the kind words, we appreciate our great subscribers like yourself WayneRite! Hope you have a fantastic week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
It takes time and patience, but I've been known to use a flat head screwdriver, or even a pocket knife, to straighten those fins out. I've used the older style, metal, brush type straightener tools, and found them to not work too spiffy. I didn't know that those plastic ones existed; I may buy some. I'm familiar with foaming coil cleaner, too. When I worked in hotel maintenance, down in Orlando, I went through gallons of that stuff. The inside coils on the cold halves of the AC units got all kinds of nasty; green crap growing inside... bleh. The Windex and rubbing alcohol trick is a new one, though. I'll have to give that a try. I may try that on some other surfaces, too. Seems useful.
can someone please make a small efficient AC unit for van life, or any very small space thats a lot cheaper than the current $1000 + unit? #Owntheworld
