HOW TO: Remove Old Car Window Tint With STEAM! Conair Turbo Extreme Steam Hand Held Steamer

So 2017 Chevy Volt aftermarket car window tint film was failing and started to bubble. I was not able see to through it and needed to re tint it. The tint shop I went to closed down. Tint shops wanted about $150 to remove it and $100 for a new tint. So i decided to DIY this and save money.

So the steam process of removing tint is simple and will take about 1 hour or so for me to do. I done this before with my other cars year ago. Typically car tint lasts about 5 years before it starts bubbling in the rear window.

I used my old Conair Extreme Turbo Hand Held Steamer ( https://amzn.to/2TWJO8L ) as a steamer to melt the adhesive and safety remove the tint from my rear window with defroster lines. I bought Conair Turbo Extreme 2 IN 1 Steamer and Iron ( https://amzn.to/3GotO1X ) , however I didnt want to dirty it with adhesive for my clothing. Secondly, the Conair Extreme Turbo Hand Held Steamer ( https://amzn.to/2TWJO8L ) was easier to handle, was more focused steam area for better control, and steamed very fast. I also used some microfiber towels ( https://amzn.to/3RBGaKa ) to absorb the adhesive on the final cleaning.

Basic Steps:
Work one corner of the tint use the steam to heat the adhesive. I kept the steam 1-2 cm from the window.
In a few seconds the tint will release from the glue.
I pulled one corner and continued to heat and slowly pull the tint away from the glass and defroster lines. You want the steam to release the adhesive, dont force it.
After all the tint is removed. There may be adhesive on the glass.
Wrap the microfiber towel over the hand held steamer and use it to melt and absorb the adhesive.
I had to run to passes to get all the adhesive off.

Overall it took about 1 hour to remove the tint and adhesive. Next time it would probably take 30 mins as I was being very careful.

REVIEW: Scissor Jack Adapter – Accessory for my 20V Impact Wrench – Faster Tire Rotations at home.

I got a Scissor Jack adapter tool ( https://amzn.to/3D5dmW5 )for my impact wrench. I love to rotate my tires. It also helps me when rotating my tires at home. I use a Bravolu 21V MAX Brushless Power Impact Wrench ( https://amzn.to/35zIzlE ) as I do my own tire rotations and automotive maintenance. I wanted to experiment to see if i can save even more time by just using the Impact Wrench on my scissor jack to raise the car faster without using the 17 mm tool. I used it to raise my car for tire rotations in seconds with the impact wrench.

The Scissor Jack adapter tool ( https://amzn.to/3D5dmW5 ) uses a bolt to lock onto the two prong scissor jack hook mounts. The adapter fits a 1/2 inch impact wrench and 21MM socket. I used it to raise my car for tire rotations in seconds with the impact wrench.

I also got at (2 Ton) with Ratchet Tool ( https://amzn.to/3kMz2vI ) so I can have a spare jack in my car. It comes with a swivel top for pinch weld jacking points, and a 17 mm bolt so i can use 17 mm socket . The included ratchet tool is light in weight and provides good leverage to lift the car but what if I can just use my impact wrench? Will it break my new jack?

HOW TO: Super Comfy CAMPING SETUP (ok… Glamping Setup)

I wanted my camping experience to be super comfortable with friends and family. So when they invited me I made my camp tent to be really comfortable. My setup includes aims to be be fast setup, spacious for changing inside the tent, warm during the night, great sleeping, night light and power station for charging and powering my tents lights and devices.

For shelter, I got a four person pop up tent ( https://amzn.to/3J7bJbe ) that took 5 minutes to setup. I got a four person pop up tent tent so I have space to change clothing and even do a sponge bath inside my tent if necessary. It basically like a big umbrella that pops and locks in place. Setup and take down is extremely easy.

Before putting up the tent, you need a waterproof tarp ( https://amzn.to/3Q0JUnj ) to protect your tent from the ground moisture and dirt. I have a camping axe ( https://amzn.to/3BjhvEU )to drive the tent and tarp anchors down. Tip: bring a small brush to cleaning and dusting dirt off your tent, and shoes before going into your tent. Its also good to during packing up to clean the tent before packing it.

For my sleeping setup, I like very warm sleep. I have a my trusty Coleman Sleeping Bag ( https://amzn.to/3PU5QjH ), and my 10+ year old Therm-a-Rest Basecamp Self-Inflating Camping Sleeping Pad ( https://amzn.to/3vgeLUO ). This year, I added a 4lb lightweight camping cot ( https://amzn.to/3RXTKYZ ) to sleep on. It was more comfortable to sleep on the cot than on a air mattress. I put my sleeping pad on top of my cot.

I got a full size self-Inflating sleeping mats ( https://amzn.to/3vhAKut ) to place on my tent floor. This was better than kneeing on the hard ground, especially when there may be rocks. Last time, my knees got bruised. Its also good if you have want more sleeping space or work space.

For lighting and power, I have a pair of usb rechargeable mosquito zappers ( https://amzn.to/3oxnUVk ). It works well as a purple night light and as a powerful tent and camp light. I also use a NOVOO 148wh Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3IaWQnO ) to charge all my lights and mobile cell phone devices. I already own a Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) for the camp group use to charge their phones. However, I wanted something smaller and easier to have in my tent at night. I use my 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Individual LED Power Switches ( https://amzn.to/3PCw7DA ) to distribute power.

Overall, my camping setup is really comfortable and “glamping” as this is not really roughing it, but enjoying the experience. Normally the tent, sleeping mat, and sleeping bag are the main requirements.
