    Thank you for spelling it correctly.

    Coatings for an ATV?

    I put Megs Hybrid Ceramic Spray on my Kodiak two years ago and it lasted really well, but we don't go mudding.

    I've never owned a large air compressor before

    Hypothetically, could two 30-gallon compressor/tanks be connected in parallel? (Assuming unlimited cash, space, and power...). Would that have the effect similar to 60 gallons that fills quickly?

    I've never owned a large air compressor before

    The footprint of a 30 gallon is about the same as an 80 gallon. Why would you get two 30's?

    I've never owned a large air compressor before

    I could buy a nice 30 gallon air compressor or maybe I can come up with the cash for a 60 or 80 gallon version of the same compressor. A bigger tank means I can push more CFM for longer which is great. But here's my question-- are there any downsides to a larger tank? One thing I'm concerned...

    Anything different about cleaning and protecting a farm tractor?

    I've been debating whether to ask this question because I think the answer is obvious, but I guess I will go through with it: cleaning and protecting a modern farm tractor should work about the same as an automobile, right? Our usual tools, chemicals, and techniques wouldn't be any different...

    How many times can you buff?

    There is a video on Youtube from Chicago Auto Pros called "Jason Burns A Car... How Many Times Can You REALLY Polish Paint?" where they were able to complete 60 passes on a modern car. Obviously YMMV but it's a fun video.

    Backing plate failed

    Do we know that? That the replacement is different than the original?

    Backing plate failed

    I guess I still don't understand why the backing plate is failing. It looks like it's getting too hot-- won't replacing the backing plate with a new one end up the same way?

    Best polish to use before ceramic coating?

    I really like to use BF One but I'm worried about it leaving behind a sealant that will interfere with the ceramic coating application. What's a good AIO that doesn't leave anything behind?

    Backing plate failed

    I had a similar problem on my GG9 this weekend (10/10/20). I haven't had a chance to contact Griot's, but the backing plate got so hot, the pad melted to it. There's no way to undo that, the backing plate is permanently ruined. I wasn't doing anything unusual-- Blackfire One on an orange LC...

    New UDOS Polisher

    So you twist the selector between sanding, rotary, and 12 / 15 / 21mm random orbital? That's a pretty good trick actually. I don't know if that's a $700 problem for me but I can't wait to see reviews.

    75’ run from bib to car: how would split hose length?

    The high pressure hose loss is negligible under 1000 feet. I don't think it matters from a technical standpoint how you choose to set it up. I guess I'd personally choose to minimize the amount of hose I have to coil up after each use.

    Why I Love McKee's 37 SiO2 Enhanced Tire Shine

    No, I haven't. I even bought some but it's been sitting on the shelf.

    Why I Love McKee's 37 SiO2 Enhanced Tire Shine

    I get six weeks minimum durability out of SiO2 ETS in the winter, driving on muddy roads. It's really amazing, IMHO.

    Stimuls check

    Gubbamint took away my freedom to drive 100mph in a school zone. I think maybe I'll go protest that, too...

    Stimuls check

    Give the stimulus money to big business? No thanks, that's not the point of the stimulus (theoretically).

    Stimuls check

    My hope is that anyone who receives stimulus money and "doesn't need it" goes out and 1) donates it, or 2) quickly spends it on products from local small business. That's really what it's for.

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Yesterday, practically with a tear in my eye, I put my truck on a battery tender and added fuel stabilizer to my wife's car.
