  Used my toothbrush instead of pipe cleaner it worked well, but now it tastes weird when I brush my teeth.

  It&apos;s strange that 25k people would thumbs down for a gentleman providing a cleaning tutorial. That&apos;s bloody barmy

  I love that Chris has helped me realize that my car is not as scary to understand like some impossible math equation that I thought it was. Saving me tons of money and I&apos;m finally learning about my car and how it works lol.
