    Adjustable speed won't keep you from burning paint. Using low grit keeps you from burning paint. With any standard polish/wax, there's no way you can burn paint. His junk polisher will still put wax on a car ten times better than a normal buffer and a hundred times better than hands. The human matters more than the machine [read: technique and patience]. And the car needs wax.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    True it takes technique and patience and yes vehicle paint needs wax. Not arguing with you there.
