    Hi Larry. . . Several years ago, you posted 2 videos on *How to Apply Undercoating* to vehicles, featuring your Porsche 964 (27 Nov 2014) and Chevy Impala SS (15 Dec 2015). After gaining 8 more years of detailing experience, would you still recommend a full undercoating for vehicles in northern climates today? Why, or why not?. . . As always, sir, THANK YOU for having the heart of a teacher! I appreciate your willingness to share professional detailing tips to automotive DIY-ers like myself.

    For this type of work, dry ice cleaning would be appropriate. This would really be a must have for your workshop in the future.

    Absolutely love watching your videos and all the information you throw into each episode. Your perfectionism is so addicting to me because I wish I had the time to do that with my vehicles. Keep up the nerdyness and education, love it love it love it. God bless you Larry.

    Question - why not invest into a wheel stud conversion kit instead of using the extended bolts?
