    Umm...Auction is getting interesting to say the least...

    I`m humbled and now feel I will have some big shoes to fill.

    275 bid
    Beat by 300 just now

    I`m just a guy with some tools and bottles of stuff.

    But i did upgrade reload to Synergy (ron had me worrying)

    I have a Master Blaster and the vacuum. I have had issues with air leakage on the end cap of the Master Blaster (had to use plumber`s rope to seal better_ and the the end cap of the vacuum is loose (had to use a spacer to tighten fit). If I had to address the prior issues but no issues with the motor.

    Saturday morning bidding war has the donation detail auction at 325 currently and I`m betting the Hellcat owner will top the other guys bid.

    edit: Hellcat owner topped to 350 now

    For $350 you need to throw in a coating. Maybe some DP coating. Nothing too expensive and top it with the Synergy. Easy for me to spend your money, right?

    So what if it gets to 400? i hoped for 150, 200max at the end.

    Problem is, If they were betting on a tangible object, this quandary would never exist.

    I`m placed in an awkward position. I`ve said this dozens of times... I`m no Pro, and this 1 step detail is being bet at Pro Coating prices because I am donating 100% of it to the charity.

    What I`ll be able to do (above the clearly specified and suggested $ amount detail) ultimately depends on how long they can leave the car with me.

    I have no problem going above and beyond at this point because they have as well, but I have to draw a line somewhere. I just don`t know how squiggly the line will be yet.

    Toss is some microfibers and some samples you have lying around. Maybe even ask (beg) Vega to donate to the cause. Put everything in a small gift bag. If it goes higher just remember they are giving to charity and some people give without expecting too much. Don`t stress too much, I`m sure your best will be better than they expect!

    This is part of the original op package. I figure 200 for the 1 step and about 40 in value of the stuff (perhaps im cheap on my prices)

    I hardly ever use the Master Blaster since I started using DI water. It`s just too big and unwieldy.

    I use the Sidekick for everything. Drying wheels. Blowing grass out of the garage. Blowing dust / dead gnats off the car. Blowing crevices dry in the car. Yesterday I used it to blow all the grass off my riding mower.

    I use DI water in the rinseless solution - so I often let the car drip dry and go over it with a QD. But, wheels and jambs will take days to dry without the Sidekick...

    Been slowly getting the Jetta back up to snuff for trade-in. Yea, that`s going to be fun to fix! Self inflicted, pulled too close to the push mower.

    Ouch! I moved my mower out of the side wall and placed it on the wall in front of the car, maybe you have room to do the same and it could help?

    I have gotten to the point where I`ll park it just anywhere. Back when I first bought the Camry I was parked way out there and a lone shopping cart got the gas lid. I`m just not meant to have anything nice. I`m gonna bubble-wrap my next vehicle.
