Force pads for the Cbeast. Not sure if best choice for flex but figure It would be good for rotary mode.

2 products I feel I needed to try. Angel Wax H2gO and Koch Chemie FSE. Figured FSE would be good for drying aid for water spots… read nothing but good in H2GO so chose it over quick view.

2.0 40 degree tip… had the standard tip shoot off even with me double checking…. Really nice product.

FSE is amazing stuff! Use it the way John at Forensic Detail Channel does, it is unbelievable. I've bought 3 bottles now, friends all want bottles cause it works so good! Went rhrough a bottle last summer at a car show weekend that had everyone getting water spots from hard water. A lot of paniced owners were amazed. Guys ordered up bottles right there, lol.

This past weekend I placed a $100+ order on another website. 12 or so items including at least 2 gallons of concentrate… Apparently it’s shipping in more than 1 box because today I received this.

What plastic clips?

That looks like plastic tools that you use alot in a body shop setting to safely pry/pop door panels off. So he might mean the plastic clips that hold the door panels on

My new JIS screwdriver bits arrived. Ordered last night on Amazon, arrived this afternoon. I'd never heard of JIS till I was watching a car show the other day, they were restoring a 90s Supra, and the mechanic said working on Japanese cars requires JIS screwdrivers. They look the same as Phillips, but they're not. JIS fit both Phillips and JIS screws, but Phillips don't fit JIS properly, making it easy to strip them. I always wondered why my screwdrivers didn't quite fit the FJ, I just thought they were worn out. Now I don't know if this applies to all Japanese cars, and bikes, or just the ones manufactured in Japan, but you can tell by the little dot in the bottom of the JIS screws.

My first new car was a 1976 Toyota FJ40 Landcruiser and I have almost exclusively owned and wrenched on Toyota products since then and I NEVER knew about this

It does however explain some screwdrivers that I have been dissatisfied with over the years

I gotta look into this soon

Black plastic clips they are everywhere engine bay, trim,door,wheel arch all over very handy better than using a flat head screwdriver.

It’s funny you say that, as just yesterday I was watching some videos on how to take apart my rear door panel in order to fix the window regulator. That might work in a pinch, but there’s specialized tools that help remove all the clips without breaking them. It also seems to require you to be as precise as James Bond, but it’s possible. Lol.

I have bags of multiple clips in different size and shape, They are OEM not genuine as they the car manufacturers want $5 a clip.

So i found a guy in Australia that sells good quality one's NOT the cheap Chinese type that can break by just looking at them.

Better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it
 
Not the standard unpacking post I know, but when I saw this I had to have it. In fact the real thing could be something I'd consider replacing the FJ with. Off-road ability with more fun on the road.

Yea keep em coming. Trying to get as many ideas as possible.

-My 1st thought was wrapping a towel around it and using it to get to that thin spot that’s hard to get to when you pull the steering wheel down just beneath the instrument cluster. That spot can be impossible in some cars.

-Another spot is inside of the seat belt latch. Those can be grimey and hard to get to sometimes.

-Weatherstripping.

-Exterior mirrors

another tool to have that's inexpensive that comes in handy is a skin wedge (around $15). every guy should have one of these in his tool box. use it to take things apart (auto interior panels, polishers, etc.) and not damage it like you would using a screwdriver. i bought a few of these to hand out to friends because it will come in handy at some point or time. worth every penny...
