    Chris, what is the max PSI one can or should use on a car? The link you had was to a 2700 PSI washer, which seems quite high. On the web I've seen some recommendations for no more than 1500 or so. Or, do you compensate for the higher PSI by standing a little further back?

    One tool to add to the beginner tool essentials: adjustable wrench. I have had so many oh shit moments while fixing something on my car and ive misplaced the proper size wrench. Even if you know you have it, saves a lot of headache pausing what you’re working on to find it. Also, if you made the mistake of buying the harbor freight sets that don’t have the size you need, big help (this was the biggest for me lol)

    3:28 "...so it doesn't rust anymore..." - Famous last words. 🤣A perect job in deed, yet you have to consider REDOX. This IS the cause of rust. I would say, the ONLY cause for rust to happen. Yet, so few people do not consider grounding the vehiocle, so parasite charges do not start the elctrical process of "rusting" (removing metal-receiving Oxygen= rust), and adding some rust 'destroyer' (chemical paint compound that seals metal porouses, preventing Oxygen to enter, much heavier, dense and effective than just rust paint. IMO). In any case, excellent job and description. I wish I had you closer here in Canada, now turned into a "parts swapper Land", at least for me and my 2002 Forrester. Sad state of affairs... Thanks, again. ✔
