    I love CarPro, but it does not last anywhere NEAR as long as the raggtopp vinyl protectant. Ive applied both at the...

    Make sure you use the washer. The smaller pads matter, but without the washer on the backplate you will get smoke.

    I did a coat about a month ago (and two washes ago with DG901) and while Sandy didn't hit us as bad as Ed's area it still hit - and man did that water bead.

    Clean the tires then throughout your clean apply three (diluted) layers when the tire is dry.

    It leaves a very clean looking satin black finish that has lasted me three weeks...

    Megs makes an inexpensive tire/wheel cleaner that is supposed to be as gentle as eagle one (Ive used both and it seems to be true) - but the megs has way more cleaning power, with or without brushing.

    If you are going to use 845, try the 850 instead. Its collinite, so its good, but its made specifically for metal.

    Looking at this after the post I realize the math shows you probably can't use it over there. For wattage the numbers are crazy:
    Voltage X Amperage = Watts
    So:
    In US 120 X 4.5= 540 watts

    OHMS law:
    Voltage = Amps X Resistance
    So...in US
    120v = 4.5a x 27(ish) ohms

    So you need to do the math for the UK...
    220 = ? X 27
    220/27 = 8.15(ish) amps

    The PC will draw about 8.15a max...

    Why MF vs. Terrycloth on Tires?
