Doesn't matter, both work fine.

Anything can screw up a car, but the most likely problem is that you generate holograms and can't finish them out. A lot of people (myself included) like to compound and polish with a rotary and switch to an RO or DA for finishing. It's just a little bit of insurance. As a Flex owner, I can...

People write things...it doesn't mean they're correct. Klasse doesn't really "cure" in the sense that there's a chemical reaction going on. You're not going to see any reduction in longevity by using a QD or water to remove residue. You're making this way more complicated than it needs to...

Yeah, check the bottom for a sticker that looks like a price tag. That's a month/date of production. I think Menzerna recommends a 2-yr shelf life, though I'm sure I've held on to some past that. That style label is an older style, but that doesn't necessarily mean the product is old.

For compounding, there is no equal to Meguiars 105. I've used others and will probably throw those in the trash eventually, since Meguiars 105 cuts faster and finishes much better. Now, you could then finish out with either diminishing abrasive route (e.g., Menzerna, Optimum, Wolfgang, etc.)...

I agree. Also, if residues are stubborn, just mist a little water or QD on. This will help with the removal of the residue. I've pretty much stopped trying to buff off dry acrylic residue, I just apply as thin as I can, let it dry for 10-20 minutes, then QD.

From my experience: 1. Durability of 915 and 476S is way longer than I can leave them alone (>>6 months). Durability of 845 is only a couple of months before beading and looks taper off. YMMV. 2. I don't apply Collinite by machine since getting some nasty wax holograms. If application may...

I don't think I'm brain dead... Have you ever used Collinite 915? Once you do, you won't ever make generalizations like that again.

915 will probably outlast the others by 2-3x. It's an excellent wax. My only reservation is that is can produce nasty wax holograms if you layer Collinite paste waxes. If you're willing to just put one layer on and leave it, then 915 is for you.

The felt ring is just outside of the stationary ring gear that the backing plate engages. Mine is grey after some use, but it started out off-white.

Take the backing plate off. It should be under there. If you still don't see it, I'll take mine apart and snap a picture. FWIW, I use motor oil on mine and it hasn't given any problems.
