Waterless cleaners
Dragging muck over the car with little lubrication I wouldn't do. but to clear of water marks from raid or hand prints, stuff like that, I got a cheap one from wilko's for a quid and it works well just to keep on top of it. (used the clay cloth's detailing spray and it works well)

Clay Bar or Clay Cloth?
Also a vote for cloth, used a bar: took ages. Used a cloth just in soapy water (after I had cleaned normally): quick, looked great :) Also used on my partners Astra, it went from gray to a deeper black than my car!

To dump valve or not too?
mine came with a bailey vent to atmosphere on it and i am considering going back standard as it seems to effect my boost and also i have some issues when i change gear between 3-5K revs, my car revs like I forget to remove my foot of accelerator, i am guessing its over fueling as its adding fuel to air that it thinks is going in but then that air is vented out and not used. But on the other side I love the TSSHHH I get from it so I am finding it hard to let go ....

Road Noise
I would have thought biggest difference is tyres? another thing is if you get a sound deadening thing like dyno matt, its like a big sheet of putty with foil backing and it sticks on your metal work under door panels, under carpet, where ever you can fit it. basically stops everything vibrating and holds it still to get rid of a lot of road noise and other noise. Hope this helps

Paint Protection
Depends how much you wanna spend :), if you wanna buy a decent product with good value and do it yourself or if you want a company to do a full all over treatment for several £100s i tried a diamond bright, it is supposed to give a life long protection, but I wasnt very impressed. Looking at using the SONAX poly net shield now, looks like it has good reviews, good priced and lasts 6 months ish :) Hope this helps a bit :)

If you plug the T440 into the flir tools plus software (paid for version) you can record radiometric images that you can take temperature measurements from and trend from at 60 fps :) it's a good feature and great for processes that are hard to image Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk

The camera is a Flir camera I have use of from the company I work for, as they supply them. It's the Flir T620 :) shame I couldn't have it plugged into a laptop as I can really go scientific on the data then. On the camera it's just a flat video with no temperature measurements Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk

No worries stants and I think they are in someone's car, forgot who has them. I'm not going to use them again so it's not much of a problem. Not worth the postage sending them back :,) Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk

Find a reputable one and it would be fine for the day. My ex used to work in one and it seems the nice ones are very nice and the bad ones are very bad. So one with a few good reviews you will be fine :) Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk
