Which is Best? Part 2: Water, Water or Water to Clean a Wheel?



In the episode of Driveway Dudes due to popular demand from our viewers, Paul, Ross and Will (kind of scientifically, but not really) test if you can really clean a wheel without any soap or wheel cleaners.

We carried out three methods of cleaning the wheel:
1. The stiff bristle brush from the first video and a bucket of plain water.
2. A hose with normal tap pressure.
3. A 1600W Power Washer with 90-100 Bar or pressure.

Just like our first "Which is Best?" wheel cleaning video we used another one of Paul's BMW alloys with up to 15 years of accumulated brake dust, dirt, road tar and wheel weight glue.

This is a home experiment designed to fulfil the requests of our viewers.

Paul, Ross and Will did their best to mask the wheel into three sections. Paul, Ross and Will tried as close as possible, to spend the same amount of time cleaning with each method.

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

Replacing a Quartz Wristwatch Battery Easy and Cheaply



In this video Driveway Dude Paul shows you how to easily replace a quartz wristwatch battery yourself.
This is quite an easy task and can save you a lot of money. The average price for a 1.55V silver oxide replacement battery is €2 / $2 / £1.50 whilst a jeweller will charge you for replacement and labour costs which can vary due to the make and model of your timepiece.

Once you know the replacement battery code you can order is cheaply online.
There are 2 types, the 'W' (low drain) and the 'SW' (high drain) for the same code of battery.
The 'W' is designed for basic wristwatches with no special functions and the 'SW' for multi-function models.
You can use 'SW' in both types of wristwatches but it is not recommended you use 'W' in multi-function models.

Many wristwatches have different ways to open the casing so be sure to have the correct tools before you attempt it.
