My New Dolly. No It's Not a Toy LOL

[Tony Prodigy]

Hi gents,

I was inspired by a video I saw the other day and I had to get one of these. It's a tyre/wheel dolly that allows you to rotate the wheel whilst performing some kind of work on it. It allows you to keep it in one spot and it simply rotates on the rollers as you do. It actually for a Motorcycle but it can also be used for car wheel/tyres too.

Not expensive at all and makes doing my wheel cleaning a lot easier. Next time I do my wheels I'll get some photos.

Actually it was Robert. I had seen it before this on a different video and when I saw Pan's promo video, it reminded me that I should get one. It will make wheel/tyre cleaning and detailing much easier than having to man handle the thing. 

The old adage of work smart not hard seems to be the order as I get older..

Applied tyre shine then had a drink. Rolled the car forward so the untreated bottom was now on top. Before I was using hydraulic jacks and rotating the wheels by hand.

However, I can see the advantage once you have a wheel removed from the car for a really detailed clean.

That's pretty much what I do when I do my tyre shining, minus the drink lol. I'll do the parts that are reachable, pack everything away and tidy up, then I reposition my car and finish those little bits. I couldn't be bothered with the jack.

Well done Tony..Yes planning ahead and thinking smart always makes jobs easier and a certain satisfaction as well..I did think those dollys made the job so much easier and allowed a stability so hands are free to do the work easier..i hate having to drag the jack out just to get to lower areas to clean..

Pan is a source and wealth of knowledge and his videos are always well put together..I hate the ones that have to repeat and repeat stuff before actually showing you what they are about

Keep safe

Thanks Robert. I agree totally. It's a refinement process I think. As new products come onto the market, well at least the ones I'm aware of, give us the choice whether or not it can be beneficial.

Agree here too mate. I've been following Pan since his very first video and he always takes the time to answer my questions despite how many he gets. He's a true Gentleman and the fame hasn't swelled his head like most others I've seen. Those of which I have unsubscribed to. We built their channels with our subs, likes and views and their heads swell like it's no tomorrow. Sorry, not for me. I have pulled many of my subs as a result. Very sad to see humility disappear as soon as the huge monetisation rolls in and from beaters to Lamborghinis they go.

I'm also tired of those channels that have the long intros, and the ten minutes it takes to get to the point, and not to mention the sponsor plugs. All this is really designed to make the videos a certain length to capitalise on the ad revenue for the Boss man. The actual content is the secondary bit unfortunately.

Yes I agree Tony I did have about 8 I subscribed too on there now i have 3..I was getting sick of the plugs for their sponsors products, the adds for damn video games, and the intro's that had to include total rubbish ..Pan keeps it fun simple and to the point always..

Keep Safe

Get yourself (ad-blocker) Robert. It's an extension you can add to Chrome and it will block all those very, very, very annoying ads that always pop up during videos. I've been blissfully ad free for many years now.

Pan is a genuine bloke. He won't plug an item if he doesn't think it's good. He even mentioned this point in one of his videos, that he gets sent lots of products and most have been rubbish and he'd never waste his time talking about them. So pretty much the products you've seen him discuss and demonstrate on video are worthy of our attention. I have purchased several products based on his recommendation. 

Sponsor plugs really annoy me. It's always about junk you don't want or need. Another way Youtubers sell their souls to the devil as they start coming up in the world. Money, power, control and not necessarily in that order.

Just waiting for 303 Graphene to come here.... We're always the last to get anything in Australia unfortunately because the products are mainly U.S. made and the yanks always get first bite till it catches on elsewhere. I have contacted a few suppliers here and one shocked me by saying, "well if it is a popular product then we will think about bringing it in". Are you kidding me ?? The 303 Graphene sold out in 24hrs of the first day of it's release... Hello ? Made me laugh.
