    Re: First time DA'ing. Have a question!!!

    Put a black line on the backing plate so you can verify the pad is rotating during buffing. If not rotating, lighten the pressure or increase speed or both.

    Re: My FIRST Coating...11 Months Later!

    I like you did my first coating in July 2014 on my wife's new BMW using 2.0. Was very pleased with performance. Looks just like your water video. Too bad 2.0 was replaced. I have not yet tried...

    I used Optimum coating on my wife's new white BMW. Not real slick, but sheds the daily dirt and lasts at least a year (June 2014). Pleased with the Optimum products.

    Re: Collinite 845 vs Wheel sealant + spoke-brush

    I have also used 845. It lasts a long time. I think the durability will be more dependent on the wheel cleaner used. Harsh = less life. I use the car wash soap without issue. 845 is a favorite...

    Re: Garage Heater

    The tank valve is the old style. I suggest trading for a new tank/valve when empty. The tanks do have a certification date. If you are concerned of leakage, place a bucket over the top of the tank...

    Re: is it worth buying neoprene car seat covers?

    Well pleased with neoprene car seat covers. Fit is excellent and stays in place. Worth the $ to protect the seat. Don't spend on universal or "fits" seat covers.
