Cody's tire and trim ceramic coating treatment with infused dye to restore lost colour. This made a 16 year old truck with old tires look like new again. D3 Renew and Protect Blak is the product I use and it is one of the best options available for this type of job. This product is a colour restoring dye, ceramic coating and UV protectant all in one bottle.

Prep work is the most important part of the job when applying these coatings, clean the surfaces to be applied to thoroughly before application otherwise your results may vary.

In the future when I wash this vehicle's tires, wheel wells and mudflaps I should essentially be able to rinse these areas with water only and everything should wash off without soap. This is due to the ceramic coating which adds a protective layer onto surfaces preventing contamination from bonding to the plastic and rubber. This product makes coated surfaces look great and it will also make cleaning them easier too.

*To my DIY Enthusiasts, if you decide to try this product out for yourself I feel inclined to mention that it is not recommended to use it in sunlight and it says that on the bottle. This product becomes much less user friendly in direct sunlight and it dries almost instantly so you should have a wet microfibre cloth ready to remove any overlap on painted surfaces otherwise you will need to polish it off once it has dried.* if you want to avoid potential issues just apply the product in the shade to a cool, clean and dry surface.

Light Upgrades for 2015 to 2024 Nissan Murano💡
Upgrading from Incandescent to LED

This light bulb guide was put together while working on a 2018 Nissan Murano with SV trim.
** Platinum trim Nissan Murano's came with LED lighting from the factory, so this guideline is essentially irrelevant for vehicles with the platinum trim package. **

Exterior Light Bulbs

Daytime Running Lights: use an LED assembly which is built into the headlight from factory, there are no bulbs to replace so if this ever burns out then the entire headlight requires replacement.
Low Beams: use H11 bulb type, *vehicle owner chose not to change these bulbs to LED, I would have installed Philips brand if we changed them.*
High Beams: use H9 bulb type, *vehicle owner chose not to change these bulbs to LED, I would have installed Philips brand if we changed them.*
Turn Signals: use 7443 / 7440 bulb type. *LED turn signals require resistors to prevent hyperflash for many vehicles, light bulbs with built in resistors are required for this vehicle's taillights due to there being no available space behind the taillights to mount traditional external resistors. Lasfit brand non-switchback amber light bulbs were installed.*
Fog Lights: use H11 fog bulb type, Sealight brand yellow fog light bulbs were installed.
Marker Lights: use 194 bulb type, Sealight brand light bulbs were installed.
License Plate Lights: use 194 bulb type, Sealight brand light bulbs were installed.
Reverse Lights: use 921 bulb type, Sealight brand light bulbs were installed.
Brake Lights, use an LED assembly which is built into the taillight from factory, there are no bulbs to replace so if this ever burns out then the entire tail light requires replacement.

Interior Light Bulbs

*Most of the factory interior lights use soldered LED chips which I do not recommend attempting to replace, that is a good job for the Nissan dealership if they ever require replacement.*
Vanity Mirror Lights: use T5 bulb type, selection in this size of bulb is limited, Alopee brand white light bulbs were installed.
Rear Luggage Compartment Light: uses 3175 bulb type, a Philips brand light bulb was installed.
The original incandescent bulbs stood out like a sore thumb, 3 incandescent lights among an entire interior of white LED lights... why Nissan didn't put LED into every interior light I will never know however, I have made this change now and it looks much better.

Don't let winter's weather ruin your driving visibility and experience. Let me take care of it to better illuminate and improve your driving visibility problems! 👋😁

Turn Signal Lightbulb Replacement💡
Upgrading from Incandescent to LED

This is the final round of lighting upgrades to improve driving visibility in winter weather conditions for this 2018 Nissan Murano. I realized today that I have done a complete overhaul of this car and uploaded no content of it yet to document the progress so you'll be seeing more of it in upcoming posts.

I have replaced the incandescent turn signal light bulbs with Lasfit LED turn signal light bulbs. Lasfit LED light bulbs are expensive when compared to incandescent light bulbs and for their expense they provide reliability and much stronger light. This model is not overly bright unlike some LED's which is good for other drivers. This model was chosen because they have built in resistors to prevent turn signal hyperflash / rapid flashing, and their smaller size compared to other LED bulbs with built in resistors meant that they fit into the tail light housing better than the Morimoto LED turn signal bulbs that I also tried. These features add to the cost of the equipment however, they provide additional convenience since there are no modifications to the light wiring harnesses required. Just plug these bulbs into their sockets and enjoy!

Driving visibility is significantly improved with LED lighting because LED produces more light than incandescent. The beam of light produced by LED provides a greater intensity, reaching further and wider across the road for an overall improvement in every aspect of your lighting and driving experience. LED lighting often will offer a longer life span than incandescent which reduces routine maintenance expenses because light bulbs will not need to be replaced as often. Although, LED lighting does cost more than incandescent it is worth the additional expense when considering that not seeing something in the road may cost you more. LED lighting will essentially pay for itself by reducing maintenance expenses and preventing accidents.

❄️🧊An interesting note about LED lighting is that because of its higher efficiency it does not produce much heat which generally speaking is a great thing for electrical systems. For automotive lights however, in wet, cold, ice forming conditions this may allow ice to form on light lenses requiring ice removal so have an ice scraper handy in the vehicle.🧊❄️

Hello 👋 My name is Cody, I enjoy working on vehicles and I can help you clean your vehicles.

- Does your vehicle underbody have a layer of dirt and mud from off-road adventures? I have vehicle underbody and frame flushing wash tools for deep cleaning underneath vehicles.

- Are your interior plastics dusty? It's time to scrub them, I have professional quality detailing brushes with ultra soft fiber bristles, boar hair bristles and nylon bristles to lift and remove dust with other contaminants from interior plastics without scratching them.

- Is your floor dirty? My wet / dry vaccum is ready to remove dirt, debris and pet hair to make your vehicle feel fresh again. Even if you have fresh mud and water from an off-road trip, I have it covered.

- Are your interior fabrics stained? No problem, I use nylon brushes to agitate and remove light to medium staining and a carpet and upholstery cleaner to remove heavy staining from fabrics.

- Does your stereo screen and / or dash cluster have fingerprints and grime? I have screen cleaner and dedicated microfibre for screens ready to provide a like new finish.

- Are your interior or exterior light bulbs dim or burnt out? I can find the required oem parts or aftermarket parts, order and install replacement light bulbs to provide better illumination in your vehicle.

- Is your weather stripping looking worn and not sealing like it used to? I have magic erasers to scrub it, silicone spray to rejuvenate it, and ceramic treatment to help keep it clean.

I am not fast, but I intend to make up for my speed with high quality work as I take time being delicate with vehicles.

Brake, License Plate, Marker, Reverse and Trunk Lightbulb Replacement💡
Upgrading from Incandescent to LED

Another round of lighting to improve driving visibility in winter weather conditions for this Toyota Camry. I replaced the incandescent brake, license plate, marker, reverse and trunk light bulbs with Sealight LED light bulbs. Sealight LED lights provide affordability, reliability, strong light however, these model are not overly bright unlike some LED's which is good for other drivers. The final step for this car will be to replace the incandescent turn signals with LED's however, that part will be covered in another post.

Used Philips and Sealight LED light bulbs with the original light housings to replace the halogen and incandescent brake, fog, license plate, high beam, low beam, marker, and reverse exterior light bulbs. This has significantly improved driving visibility and now this Toyota Camry will be able to see and be seen easily when driving on the road at night during the worst weather conditions that nature has to offer. I have one more step to tackle in the future and that is replacing the incandescent turn signal bulbs with LED bulbs.
