REVIEW – DIY : Heads Up Display (HUD) – ACECAR M07

I always wanted a HUD so I dont need to look down at for speed. I got a ACECAR M-07 ( https://amzn.to/3d6SuQO ) Heads Up Display units for my Honda. This video reviews the ACECAR M7.

If you want just 2 lines of date and very large font size, the ACECAR M-07 ( https://amzn.to/3d6SuQO ) Heads Up Display ( https://amzn.to/3d6SuQO ) has the larger font size to project onto the windshield. However, it only has 2 lines of data you can choose.

Its large numbers is very visible at day and night time. Installing is very easy with either connection to the cars OBD2 port or it can run with GPS mode in which all it needs is a USB power. If connected to the OBD2 it will drain my 12 volt battery, thats why i prefer the USB power so it turns off when my car is off. The unit is plug and play but needs to be configured for metric and English measurements. Overall it is pretty accurate and is able to read speed, distance, engine temperature, RPM, and other information when connected to the OBD2 port. With the GPS mode you can display direction, speed.

Update on my steering wheel cover and TPMS system. Its been over 2 years with my SHIAWASENA Steering wheel cover $16 ( https://amzn.to/2XsIEP6 ) which had a smooth surface and patterned with red stitching. It still in good condition and has not cracked yet. Tire Pressure Monitor TPMS ( https://amzn.to/2ncBVf6 )still works after 1.5 years . I cost about $30. The sensors need new CR1616 batteries every 6 months but the solar powered main unit works well.

REVIEW: Avid Power 6 inch Dual Action Polisher

I have been hand polishing and waxing my cars for years. I just bought a Avid Power 6 inch Dual Action Polisher ( https://amzn.to/3EfWFnR ) and love it!

Why I bought it. I like to detail , clay, compound, polish, and wax my cars. Doing one call will easily take me all day by hand. But with a DA polisher it cuts the time to a few hours.

Using a Dual Action buffer on my cars will
○ save time
○ consistent technique
○ random polish
Its a good size for 90% of my car surface at a 6 -7 inch size. I have a 10 inch polisher which is good and 3-4 inch is too small. I also have those size pads if needed.

I only polish and wax about 3 times a year, in Fall (to put a layer of wax before the rain and wet weather and spring before the hot summer driving.. But since I do multiple cars at the same I wanted to invest in a good buffer. I did both my cars in about a little over half a day versus 2 days.

I always use Clay ( https://amzn.to/3nWdAFs )to remove stuck brake dust and particles , Compound ( https://amzn.to/3nRSbNY – if needed) Polish ( https://amzn.to/3nMhSPG )for shine, and wax ( https://amzn.to/3BE17er ) . I keep the foam pads with my liquid compound polish or wax. I recently started using ceramic spray wax ( https://amzn.to/3BFoq7Y ) over Carnuba car wax as its much easier to apply and buff and holds for about 6-7 months


  • For the unboxing, this Avid Power 6 inch Dual Action Polisher kit ( https://amzn.to/3EfWFnR ) comes with the variable speed buffer, 6 in disk with velcro backing, allen wrench for the handle, Spanner for the disk tightening, 3x 7 inch foam pads ( yellow hardest for compounding, orange for polishing, and black for finishing ) and a pretty long power cord about 9 ft.

The 7 inch pads were just about right for most of the panels. For smaller details of my bumper roof pillars – I either did it by hand in linear motions or with a 3 inch foam pad and an speed drill attachment for the curvy small nooks. I used the pads for both cars and they held up. After ward washed them with hot water and dish soap, let them dry out before storing them. I typically use pads for about two seasons so these will last me

Overall the Avid Power 6 inch Dual Action Polisher kit works well and saved me a lot of time ( pretty much 50 % of my time compared to doing it by hand. ) it is just the right size pads I needed for my cars and offers a terrific value compared to compounding, polishing, and waxing by hand.

REVIEW: BESTEK 500W Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter

I am using a Bestek Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter ( https://amzn.to/3lf37DW ) to power my Xbox One S ( https://amzn.to/3hzEktc )and monitor in my car. It provides a continuous DC 12V to AC 110V power from the car’s 12 volt socket power. This should provide stable power to both devices.

Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases. For car and camping stuff, check out my Amazon list.

It is very convenient and easy to use. It comes with extra fuses, 12 volt car socket plug wire ( 150 W) , and an alligator battery clamps (up to 500 W) . All you need to do is screw on the wires and with the nuts and turn on the unit. The cooling fan noise is ok. The fan has been keeping the unit cool even during an hour of use.

With socket cable, 150 watt is the max rating. It came with direct connects to the car 12 volt battery for full 500 watt power. I normally use a compact 150 W power inverter ( https://amzn.to/3kc25cp ) while working in my car with a laptop, however decided to get a Pure Sine Wave inverter as the Xbox is not battery powered like a laptop. There is fan noise from the inverter operation, but overall it runs pretty cool with both devices on.

Overall I see this device very useful when powering sensitive AC powered electronics in the car. I normally play for about 30 -1.5 hours while the car is ON and charging. I have to be mindful if the car is charging the 12 volt battery and down want to drain it.
