    Cool, now I have to get an iron like that. I have several of the 100 watt soldering irons and they are cumbersome. This is some VERY useful information as there are armrests that cannot be disassembled in order to recover them. I do repairs on this exact type MBZ armrest all the time. The replacement part is pretty expensive, so a good repair is a very easy job to sell, and you can charge well for the repair. Looking forward to the next in this series of repair videos! Thanks as always for sharing this info. This is SO much better than some other videos where the tech is using a torch with a flame to do repairs, that can't be good for the compound or the material.

      I believe you're overthinking it. The vehicle's computer is powered by what must already be a dirty power source - the battery and all the underhood components. Yet the computer produces 5v com bus signals that are clean. I'm not an electronics engineer but it would seem logical to me that the computer has it's own filtering. Also it probably doesn't matter given the minimal power required to keep alive the RAM and power an LED or two. But I always welcome additional information.

    Thank you for all you do for us. I have been in this business for 14 years and I have to say you have expanded my horizons.I have learned so much from you. I have had so many ideas of how to do repairs differently, but did know how to go about it. From your teaching I no longer have such confusion. I do have one question. In part do to the quality and appeal of my work I have trouble with appropriately pricing my work how do you go about pricing? I feel I have always lacked confidence in charging the right amount I feel I have always been on the low side of things. I know this might be a personal question and you might not be willing to answer it here. If you are willing and have the time I can give you my email. I don’t know how wise it is of me to put my email here. So if you would like it I can put it in a message below 👇 I only ask that you delete it from the chat once you get it. Again thank you so much for all you do for us in the community.

    Always appreciate your videos mate.I get what you’re saying about products but sometimes what you explain can’t be done or simulated without specific product. I wish you could let out the secret sauce out one time and let us know which plastic primer you’re using for texture. I was so impressed with the grain you got in one video on that door panel repair. I bought some from superior because viper doesn’t have one and superiors did not give a nice grain. No way I could get it the same as you did it. So I’m back to spray grain again and the problems that comes with.

    • @mwtriplett1
      @mwtriplett1 Před měsícem

      Superior water base plastic primer does work well. You just need to use the right amount. At least an ounce mix with a little color and dry as your spraying. Remember, you have to adjust your psi to almost zero on the gun to get big droplets. Then adjust accordingly to control size of droplets.
