    Feedback like yours is read by management. More feedback, (more replies to these video threads), and more attention video production gets. No replies looks like there's no interest...

    Squeaky wheel gets the grease...

    Glad you made an in depth video for machine application of sealant and wax. Been wanting to make sure I was doing it correctly.

    I was curious about your approach to priming the pad. Would you discourage applying 4 or 5 pea sized drops of product and spritzing the pad with detail spray for the first section pass? This would be less product, but would keep a dry foam pad from touching the paint.
