Some advice from a retired pioneer of the Automotive industry…. Blowing out the interiors prior to vacuuming is an excellent concept, However, I highly suggest getting a quality filter / water separator for your compressor. I’m literally watching your video right now and I can see the stagnant/ pungent water (from the compressor) being absorbed into the fabric & rugs. This is going to leave a musty smell and promote mold growth. It’s a simple fix and your customers will appreciate it down the road…. 👍🏻

@lesterparker1594 2 года назад

Maybe you can answer this for me. Why the hell cant GM build an engine that doesn’t blow up in 8k miles. My stupid 2020 trailboss was junk and had to spend a month in the shop having rods and lifters replaced. I traded it as soon as I got it back and GM lost a customer for life. I should of done research because it was an isolated issue. It’s happening to people everywhere

@kheaslett 2 года назад

Hi Craig... i am a cobbler in Florida near Gainesville. i use Super glue for some of my repairs... instead of having to hold the superglue till it dries... i use an excellerant... to speed up dry time... takes 5-10 seconds. just be careful not to get glue on fingers while you spray excellerant... the glue heats up instantly and will smoke. do not breathe either... have a fan blowing fumes away... look up using baking soda with super glue...on youtube... lots of uses... i use to fill in these cheap ladies boos that have hollow heels.... then grind level to attach new heel material...i use the super thin superglue for that...with excellerant !!! the result can be sanded very smooth & is hard as a rock...similar to fiberglass.

Love the channel and content. Craig I just wish you didn't do half butt repairs on $20k+ cars. I cringed all the way through the Taycan bumper repairs, same with gluing the seat and painting the carpet. I just think have a upholstery shop replace that panel on the seat. Or have a mobile guy come around and do a more professional repair would have been a better choice. Save the crazy glue and spray can repairs for the high mileage sub $10k beaters.

You’ve never seen how a used dealership works🤣🤣🤣

@ryanjohnson8821 2 года назад

@@stevechamberss3237 I've seen how my buddies run their used car dealership and I've worked in a dealership. It's not like that from what I have seen. Then again, my buddies cherry pick and buy really nice cars that don't need much reconditioning. They also left a retail location and moved to a warehouse because they did not want the headache that walk-in buyers bring. They post 100 pics of every car they sell and do most of their sales online. They cater to buyers all over the country. It's a different business model than your typical used car lot. That's how they chose to do business. Craig can chose to do it better on nicer cars, that's all I'm saying. No need to spend $1,000's reconditioning a $5k beater. Corvettes, Porsches, etc. deserve better.

@jim5k 2 года назад

You might as well have just sanded down the paint. That's brush is a total hack job. Using a proper clean microfiber wash mitt and two buckets with grit guards is the way. A cheap foam cannon attached to a pressure washer also makes all the difference. It's not much harder to just do it right.

Double check the harmonic balancer if you haven’t already. I’m having to replace that on my C-5 and it’s quite the job. When it was pulled into the shop it sounded like you had the harmonic balancer squeak it does when it’s going bad but outside when it’s running it doesn’t so I would just check it anyway.

Craig are the heads fixed from the valve guide issue? If it drops a valve it will possibly crack the block, some people get lucky and it just destroys the head and piston. There are RU-vid videos on this at Raceproven Motorsports, shows the destruction and what it takes to fix.

@aaronbritt2025 2 года назад

Craig, why don't you have a foam cannon? The dry sump tells you it's a Z06. Only the LS7 got the dry sump. I think we should start using "German" as a verb. That Z06 got fully Germaned. The only problem with a reconstructed title is that the value is affected by the fact that many prime lending banks won't finance it. As a result, your loan might have a higher interest rate. Of course this can be avoided by paying cash.

The car could be a sleeper it has grand sport fenders and the wheels are similar to some offered, I've had several corvettes and the c6 z06 is among my favorite it weighs a little over 3,000 pounds and a torque curve like a supercharged car, It's a blast to drive and the car isn't for someone who has a problem controlling the right pedal and traction control is almost useless.

The Z06 cleaned up just as I had assumed it would. Personally I would have a body shop respray the front bumper and do a professional repair on the damaged side trim…I’d also get a professional to fix the passenger seat. You bought the car right keep it as a track/drift machine that can do double duty as a fair weather driver. Given its title history it will never bring top dollar so enjoy it and drive it like you stole it. Put a I don’t want to sell it price on it I’m the spring/summer and if someone is willing to step up sell it then.
