I’m Donald Bell for Cool Tools and in this video we’re going to take a look at Meguiars Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer. I got a bottle of this for around $7 on Amazon. I’m going to show you why it’s awesome. This is not a sponsored video, and honestly I’m not even sure if I’m pronouncing the brand name right. But if you want to pick this up, using the Amazon link in the description helps support my videos and the Cool Tools blog.

This week on Maker Update, a blazing fast 3D printed RC car, soft robotics in Korea, taking pictures with an Etch A Sketch, a robot recycler, and reading your pet’s RFID.

This week on Maker Update, an old fashioned electric go kart, diploma drama for Arduino, plastic razor blades, fingerprint sensors, sninges, Maker Faires and robot trading cards. This week’s Cool Tool is Scraperite Plastic Razors.
