How To Remove Light Scratches, Scuffs, Curb Marks and Polish Wheels



In this episode of Driveway Dudes, Will shows you how to remove light scratches, light scuffs, and light curb marks from your wheels while polishing them to a "like new" shine.

This is a home experiment and an unbiased use of Turtle Wax SafeCut as it was what we already had in the shed. Similar products are available.

Will did his best to follow the instructions on the bottle and adjusted the pressure in which he was polishing accordingly.

Will and Paul chose a day with the best possible conditions to carry out DIY cleaning and avoided direct sunlight.

Audi A3 Indicator Blinker Bulb Replacement



In this video, Driveway Dudes Paul Shows you how to replace an indicator blinker bulb in an Audi A3 8P model 5 door Sportback (2003-2012).

The replacement glass bulb is a 12V 21W single element that is commons in most cars, vans, trucks and motorcycles and is easily sourced at various retail outlets or can be purchased online.
It can cost as little as 50c but no more than 2-3 € £ $.

This is an easy and straight forward job that can be carried out on your driveway or on the road. No need to pay a garage or workshop un-necessary money.

Only tool necessary is the flat head blade screwdriver that you'll find in the toolkit in the trunk with the space saver wheel.
I also had to use a needle nose pliers but you may not have too.

It is recommended you wear gloves to avoid skin contact with the glass as it may shorten the life of the bulb.

In the episode of Driveway Dudes, Will shows you how remove tar spots/deposits from your car's bumper, guard, fender, wing, etc. Will also reviews "W5 Tar & Tree Resin Remover"  on his bumper with up to 3 years of accumulated road tar.

This is a home experiment and an unbiased review of W5 on bumper with Tar Spots.

Will purchased the can of W5 himself with his own money and carried out the review on his own car.

Will did his best to follow the instructions on the can, but had to improvise as the instructions did NOT say how long to leave the product on the body work.

Will chose a day with the best possible conditions to carry out DIY cleaning and avoided direct sunlight.
