I’m always asked how I do my headlight polishes - so here’s how I do it. If you really want to opt for clear coat you can do that after the sanding stage, but while it may last longer…. Once it peels, it’s a pain to redo. See comments for video.

@SwiftOnSecurity It’s not an issue. Higher octane allows for more advanced timing which allows for a more complete burn. More power, less emissions. However, fuel quality sensors and knock sensors are two key components to just about every vehicle in the past 10-15 years. These help it adjust.

@SwiftOnSecurity That said, pinging “spark knocking / pre ignition/ detonation” can cause damage and some cars just aren’t happy with lower grade fuel. Mostly occurs under heavy load due to the extra heat being generated. And since most everything is turbocharged anymore… it’s worse.

@SwiftOnSecurity Also, my rule of thumb is if it’s turbo / supercharged and you aren’t trying to haul ass or cargo, regular will usually be fine. Step up a grade if it makes that pinging noise. Non-turbo? Regular is fine. Yes, even in the “high performance” cars. Unless you’re beating on em.

Customer brought this in for a failed wheel bearing. They had just bought it from a dealer and completed 2500 miles of their 5k mile road trip when it came in. They were not aware of the rust and we declined to work on it. Also every warning light possible is on 👀. RIP Sienna

Hey uh. PSA. Don’t use a heat gun to dry out a fuel tank. I shouldn’t have to say it, but that’s exactly what one of the techs did at a neighboring shop and he may lose his hand. In just a flash. Tank was empty but fumes are a thing. VERY lucky it wasn’t worse, but not good.

@SwiftOnSecurity I’ll be honest. Toyota over-complicated most of their modern engines and I think their reliability may have suffered from it. But that’s on par with just about all manufacturers now. Same rules apply though. If you drive like grandma, regular. Otherwise maybe mid grade?
