Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! I'm working on my filming style and trying to come up with new content as I pretty much document my owner ship lol.

Your goal is worthy. As a former video maker from the old tape days, I would ask why you used that music for your fill-in. It nearly put me to sleep. Try adding in some captions of what you are doing in your fast forward sections. Practice your written script before you video it. Join ToastMasters to improve your vocal delivery. Take a video production class at your local community college. Keep making videos and have someone you trust seriously critique it prior to posting it. Invest in a tripod for your camera. Wear a microphone.

A suggestion since I've done a few dozen pairs. A lot of DIY's suggest using polyurethane since it's harder than clear coat since it's a harder finish. It will yellow though, and I see you picked a non-yellowing clear coat. A better option is to use Minwax gloss polycrylic. It a very hard coating like polyurethane, but it does not yellow. Best of both worlds.

How does the Mother'Powerball headlight polisher compare to the MilwaukeeM12? I have a cordless variable speed drill.

I'm assuming you're talking about the M12 polisher (Model 2438)? I have that and I use it for headlight polishing and paint corrections. I'm not a fan of using a drill because it lacks control. The Milwaukee has a side handle for better stability so you can increase pressure onto the pad if you need, plus it's physically small and the ergonomics is great. You get the benefit of swapping out pads and sanding disc on the fly. With the Mother's powerball, you're limited in application. The Milwaukee is expensive, but I find it worthwhile given the flexibility.

The Milwaukee M12 polisher sounds much better. I looked at offerings from the Home Depot. It seems like there are several M12 polisher models. How do they differ?

Can you supply the link? There is only one M12 polisher available that I know of. If there is any difference, it's probably due to the battery configuration.

It looks like the M12 polisher is available as a tool only, and two kit versions, depending on battery types. . I think that Griot's Garage also offers a smaller polisher.

All three variations on the 2438 model number either have a 0, -22, or -22x depending on the accessories offered.
