    Lessening vibration from PC?

    Just wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to lessen the vibration one feels from the PC? I just find using it quite fatiguing with all that shaking rolling up my old bones. Was thinking putting foam around it (not the ventilation holes of course) might do the trick.

    Does a LSP left untouched "degrade" over time?

    Not sure how to phrase the title on this one.... Gave my car 3 coats of UPP before garaging it for the winter. To my surprise, the car is barely even dusty when I rolled it out a few days back. Now is that UPP still protecting almost as well as it was after I put it on... or has time reduced...

    Just wondering what each towel is good for... just in the final stages of putting together an order now. So many choices... yet not sure of which is best for what! What tasks would you use exclusively the Ultra Fine or Ultra Plush for? Maybe it's just better to ask what Pakshak towels are...

    What exactly is "final buffing"?

    Been sorting through some towels to buy and see some mentioned as good for "final buffing"? What is Final Buffing anyhow? If I am doing a wash, after rinse it's just a WW... or if I am removing LSP just a regular MF. Am I missing out on a pillar of detail perfection by not doing a "final...
