No matter how cheap the car is clear headlights automatically makes it look better
Moaquito reppellant is the best for cleaning light lenses!! Because of the The deet ingredient, the more you spray on,the more grime& film you remove!!
@@jayceec3539 no - deet literally eats away the surface of the plastic. Its the WORST way to clean headlights.
@@tymccraw the mosquito repellent is'nt being used on poor ,bs quality plastic. Is being used on old school glass,round and square headlights,and the results are as if they are brand new again!!
@@tymccraw is 🎃😊😊😊 😊
Randy, I actually decided to check this video out because it appeared to harken back to the old days when you would get a cheaper car, bring it home, wrench on it, clean it up, then send it on to someone else to get a lot more use out of. I was right and enjoyed watching you do just that. Keep more of these coming 👍👍
As a DIY'er, I've learned a lot about cars from your videos...what to look for, repairs, etc. I know you're a busy guy, making big life changes, but always appreciate your positive attitude and your sharing your experiences with us (like in today's Thanksgiving comments). Also, I'm always amazed at how well you can talk "off the cuff"! :) Thank you!!
well
Randy's videos have given me more confidence to attack bigger projects. Though I've given up selling to the public as I can never get the cars certified. We aren't allowed any lights on the dashboard, TPMS is a fail and you can't register or sell a car with it on. Used to be able to, even with a cracked break lens. Not anymore.
I bought a used 2007 Chevy HHR Panel almost 3 years ago on the cheap, put about $1k into it since and drive it almost every day. I love my little Chevy.
You’re very fortunate to still have it around running. So many people I’ve known with HHR and PT Cruisers whom have given up on them within the first ten years of ownership.
@@tommypistols8104 funny, every time I go anywhere I see quite a few of both of them still out running the roads. I know of several HHRs with over 300,000 miles on them. Mine has 141,000 on it. I’m sure it has many more left in it. Too bad this won’t let me post pictures.
We thank you Randy for sharing your positive energy with us and motivating us.
Thanks for the great words of encouragement and for the great information you give on some the cars(and motorcycles) your working on and continue sending out more vids
Hey Randy, love your vid’s !! I actually picked myself up a car from co-part awhile back !! Thanks to your videos. Love the content !!
Randy, thanks for this blast from the past! I love the attitude and taking the time to fix this one up!
Be aware of slow pumps like that, it could mean clogged fuel filters or they are running low on fuel.
A fuel pump, pumping that slow means one of two things. The gas station is low on fuel in their tanks, or the pumps filters are incredibly clogged. If it’s a constant thing it’s more likely that it’s the filters and I would find another station to fill at.
Good on you Randy. Hope you and the fam had a wonderful Thanksgiving. The Cruze is looking sharp. Keep doing you boss. Great content as always. Wishing you 400k real soon. "It's hard to see the haters when you're at the top". Keep grinding friend, your faithful followers will be here.
"On The Spot..." missed the mark... thanks for the head's up..., especially on the Armorall.
Hey randy, not everyone will sneak out back to make content for their fans. Love your vids
Love the videos when you get into these cars and explain how to repair something properly. Great video as always man
Thank you Randy! I was ready to pack in my channel and call it quits until your words at the end of the video. Your one of the good people who the good Lord had blessed and I'm so grateful I found your channel. im where you were way back when... and tryin to raise my kids alone
I know it may be weird, but one of my favorite videos as of late... You always have fantastic messages, Randy. Always makes my day to see one of your videos. I'm sure you had some "outlet" or someone/something that helped you get through tough days in your past, now you can feel good about being that someone in other people's lives. Keep it up, man!
Randy, been enjoying your vids for quite sometime, you have definitely improved your style, delivery, and production abilities over the past few years! As an experienced mechanic, I cannot believe you started this project without:
1. A suitable work area
2. Proper tools
3. AND you were in a hurry?
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ 😂😂😂
Still fun to see you wrenching for a change, miss that. I don’t know jack or schitt about fixing cars but I really enjoy someone wrenching!
Now to see the end of the video to see how it goes.
Give the auto detailer a call and right of first refusal to come out, clean and polish the wheels, adress the rest of your issues, and tell them about the Armor All issues.
Last time I saw you working on one of these was changing the turbo on the old one 😄
Another good video. Look forward to new ones every time they come out. Keep up the good work Randy. I always use some duck tape on my extension and spark plug socket so it comes out every time lol
Happy Thanksgiving Randy. Another gem found in the dust. That car is a champ after minimal work.
Bro you’re videos are great. So much quality on it. I watch all of them cause i love cars like you do. Even all of them are +30 min. Lol Regards from DR 🇩🇴
Randy sir, you do what you do because you love it. We watch your videos because we love watching you. Don’t you give two shits what the scumbags of the world say because they are miserable with their pathetic little lives. They say their hateful BS because they are jealous that you are happy doing what you enjoy doing and they are not happy at all in life. No explanation needed my friend. Lots of love for you brother ❤️👍
This guy is a pure,genuine human being....I'm a fan because,he brings us into his world,his passion for what he does is unmatched by any other youtuber that deal with cars,Randy like I said before you are the G.O.A.T!!!....as long as you're putting out videos, I'm gonna be watching!!...blessings,to you and your family!!...#AAR
Randy, I am so happy to see you get in to the gritty of doing hands on work with a car. You seem so happy doing that. More please.
Loved this video, old school Randy working on a car outside. The only thing missing was the ol brown leather jacket.
Thankful for you man grateful for your content and love your videos can’t wait to see more and merry Christmas as well
Definitely, in the car market today that should easily bring 4-5000$, it's hard to find any running and driving car for less than 1500$, no matter the condition
I would do the headlights. Great looking car. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Hey Randy great video man. Good to see you wrenching on a car! I hope you didn't get into to much trouble with the misses for doing a video for us on Thanksgiving! Keep up the great content man.
Thank you Randy for what you do. Your a good man.
Hi been following you for a couple of weeks now and all the ones I have seen you are doing your thing keep going
Love your videos & positive attitude. Inspirational 👍
Fairly latecomer to the channel. Love the knowledgeable and down to earth style you have. Good work👍
Love to see you wrenching Randy ! Back to the oldschool 😀
Good video Randy Good job fixing the motor you saved another old car keep up the good job with the entertaining videos
Great tutorial Randy, kudos! We have the same family of engines Ecotec here in Europe in Opel/Vauxhall and Chevrolet cars. I had two of them already the 1.0 c.c Euro and 1.2 Euro for the Aveo (Sonic for North America). All of them without exception after few thousand miles do that sewing machine noise at idling, all of them. My Chevy had same faults as that one, very poorly designed cooling system and prone for leakage and head gasket failures. Easy to work on though contrary to many complicated French crap we have here like Peugeot, Citroen and Renault.
Randy my wife loves to say if you think money can't buy happiness then by golly you don't know where to shop. Seriously great video. The cruse turned out amazing and she's practically ready for her New home. God bless you and Jessica and Nick and 2022 is gonna be a great year for AAR and turn a great year for all of us that watch these videos. I'm on record saying you'll be at half a million subscribers by Dec 31st 2022! See you very soon in the next one!
Randy i absolutely love you man!! You're amazing! Have an amazing week! Much love from West Virginia!!
Love the videos when Randy wrenches!
Very informative.
A lot of those good-looking older gen Cruzes out there, not as nice as that one.
Always a pleasure to watch one of your videos Randy 👍
That was an awesome video Randy I love watching your video you make my day everyday
Man, you truly are a man of wisdom. I've had nothing, then i had it all only to lose my health and money can only last so long. Yes, you and i do have something in common though. BESIDE every successful man is the woman who had dealt with our bullshit and stayed. Stay blessed.
Love the content as always Randy. Keep it up and the Cruze cleaned up really nice. Just ask for no Armor All next time. Those are great cars when maintained.👍
I got a preowned 4 Door LT Hot Red a 2014 in Jan of 2014 with 7k on it , I am still Driving it and it now has 14k on it so I put 7k on it in 8 Years . I'm on SSI and we just got a raise to $914.00 a Month , These are Great Cars , I do not consider it as Cheap . But I was a big fan of the Cavalier Convertible's in 2008 , was great to see the things you did to Help this Car . Thanks :) QC
Hey Randy,
When you get companys to do work/labour for you for free, In the agreement of promoting their channel for free, It sounds like a great arrangement, unless you don't fulfil your end of the deal.
If you don't bring in new customers to their business like you promised, then they will become less motivated and do half jobs like on your car.
not hating, just a observation.
The end was a great talk Randy!! Keep up the good work
I really enjoyed this video and the very wonderful words you gave us, Randy... that I consider it a piece of very valuable advice for every ambitious person who wants to achieve success despite the frustrations he may face in his life.
I wish you very good luck in your life.
He did a good job cleaning it compared on what it looked like before hand.🙂 another great video randy 👍
I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze. Using the menu controls on the turn signal stick you can navigate to a tire pressure gauge display. Also the secret key combo on the key fob for remote start is first press the lock button and then hold the start button, if you wait too long between locking and starting, it won't start and you have to start the key combo over.
Randy you should ALWAYS check the gap on your plugs!!! They can be dropped or pre gaped wrong...and that gap is very important in making sure your combustion camber fires at the right temperature.
Liked! More videos like that! Old cool AAR content!!
Of course, fix the problems with the headlights, and that will bring more resale value. Randy, I am very thankful for your awesome videos keep the great work up.
That was a great tutorial! It was nice to see you fix her.
She cleaned up real nice! Looks so much better! Have Walmart clean the lights! My friend picked up a Cruze and it’s a standard! Didn’t realize they made those! Damn remote start too!
Most ot the time I like them a little tight! Finding always complain about it being too tight! LOL
Wasn’t sure anyone caught that
GOOD JOB RANDY, YOUR A GOOD PERSON. WITH A BIG HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep Doing Your Thang Randy ... Remember Haters Gotta Hate It's Their Job 😂
Headlights sell the car. I'd call the detailer and offer the opportunity to make it right. If he cleaned it in the garage, I could see him missing spots. There are other products out there that don't have that " greasy feel '. Even Armorial has a low luster product [ at least over here in Canada ].
you can also siphon some of then coolant out, saves having a mess.
Great video!
Definitely clean up the headlights. Looks neglected when hazy. In my considered opinion!
Good job Randy. Fix it up and resell it 👍👍
You know as rough as that car was, the motor was amazingly clean. Maybe the last owner did not own it long enough to neglect it. Someone looks like they took care of oil changes at least.
Great job man enjoy the video s
Great episode, like to see some repairs
I have a 2012 Cruze that I bought brand new back then and had brake issues a few years ago so I parked it and drove my truck instead. I just got it back on the road finally and was thinking the other day…I see way more of the 2011-2015 style Cruze’s on the road these days and almost never the 2016 and up style. These cars are surprisingly reliable with proper maintenance!
Excellent video, good to see you wrenching again. When you get the chance check out a Buick Verano, it is the fancier version of the Cruze.
Great video and content😀👏
I thought my Thanksgiving was going to be okay, until my dad died right after Thanksgiving, facing homelessness too now, I come here to try to get my mind off of it a little bit, I have to admit Randy, you really know how to uplift my day.
Randy, you made the videos looks better and better every time
Headlights would make it icing on the cake. Thankful for your wonderful videos.
I really enjoy content like this.
Thanks brother for squeezing a vid out & easily 5.k or more Salute 💯🚘👊
Hey Randy!! Don't worry about the negative comments..Do what you do and enjoy it.. Happiness comes from within.
Hey Randy. After replacing the water outlet, its usually a good idea to replace that upper hose that clamps on to the water outlet. That connection is notorious for going out when the water outlet dies. As far as the car is concerned, its a good affordable daily driver until the turbo goes out.
You are so blessed randy an at the moment my family is in crisis i look forward for your video's because I love the content
Great video randy, you done good
Get the sparkplug sockets that are magnetic, best money you will ever spend ! Saves slot of cussing!
Great video Randy!!! Did you enjoy your Turkey??, keep up the great work 👍
you donbt have to replace the valve cover anymore. a genius found a way to reroute that check valve externally, and plugs the old one up.. saved me hundreds of dollars and has been working fine for a year now!
Nice easy fix, should sell well👍
You shouldn't mix coolant types though. Best to drain, flush and fill with the correct coolant, which should be the red/orange DexCool that you topped it off with 😉
100% agree re that God awful trim shine. I use foaming upholstery cleaner on everything except the glass/leather. Works a treat.
Totally Agree otherwise you end up with mud In your coolant system. I know because I have done this mistakenly.
The right antifreeze coolant is GM Dex-Cool orange formula 50/50 prediluted ready to use antifreeze.
@@TT-oo9te That's true but If you watched earlier In the video It had the green ethel glycol antifreeze In It.
That engine is super clean internally, they are usually orange/brown in color!!! Great Vid!
Thank you Randy.
Seems somone had put green coolant in it. Did you drain and flush all that out? Dexcool and the Green do not play nice together. Should never mix them.
Thankful for my sight, even though I only see out of one eye.
Thanks for the video, Randy.
I like using Armoral on the dash as it helps if you leave the car in the sun every day. I haven't used the stuff in many years.
happy thanks giving .
Your such a great person hope you have all the success and happiness you deserve
i enjoy the fix it videos!
Glad u cleaned the headlights and did some auto repairs
That was a great job!
That is a nice car. Great job saving it from doom. Awesome gas mileage to.
Love the videos
You make this car very nice , good for back on the road .
They should be using Aero 303 for the interior trim panels ! I hope they give you a decent discount on the next car they do for you.
the oily dressing on the footwell plastic piece🤦🏻going to be slippery pedals next time it rains.
@@drewhall3958 100%. It’s gong to make it dangerous to drive the car like that. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I bought a Chevy Cruze 2012 that looks exactly the same as this one about a year and a few months. Exact same engine code and have been through a lot of trouble with it but it's been a good car. If everything is working well boy, does it drive smooth. I also really like the weight of the car but it's a stubborn one alright! Needs work, love and patience.
Well said on your ending note Randy💯💯
Clean up the headlight too. Its awesome. Good score outstanding job well done
What a beautiful color of Retail Red. Yes on the headlights. A great buy.
I absolutely love TRQ Auto parts. Excellent company and decent parts for the price.
I had a 65 2 Door Hardtop Galaxie 500 with Black Vinyl Seats this was 1976 when I was 16 my 1st car, Armor All had just came out we had a service station where I detailed it. By our house was a sharp left hand bank curve that I sailed around across the seat I flew hanging on the steering wheel!
