super convenient, and easy to use

I love how easy it is to use rhis keyboard. It's very simple to connect to any type of device. For PC's or devices without Bluetooth, there is a USB reciever in the battery compartment. For Bluetooth devices, you simply have to hold down one of the two device buttons for three seconds, to put the keyboard into pairing mode. Then , go to your device and connect to the keyboard through your Bluetooth settings. When trying to connect, a code will pop up on your screen. All you have to do, is type the code into the keyboard and press enter, you are now connected, and can quickly switch between active devices by selecting the correct device on the keyboard.
The keyboard also comes with 15 FN keys for quick shortcuts to your devices functions. ie,.. volume, play,screen brightness, back button, lock, menu,..etc.

Although this keyboard was designed for Chrome, it can be used on anything. The keyboard has virtually every keyboard layout programmed into it, and the layouts can be accessed by holding down two keys for 3 seconds.
Windows,.. "fn" + "P"
Mac,.... "fn" + "O" (this is not a zero)
iPhone,.... "fn" + "i"
Chrome,.... "fn" + "8"
Android,.... "fn" + "9"
Mac,.... "fn" + "O" (this is not a zero)
iPhone,.... "fn" + "i"
Chrome,.... "fn" + "8"
Android,.... "fn" + "9"
The keyboard does have two keys that are assigned to the Google Assistant and Chrome Apps, while the layout is set for Chrome.
These keys change functionality based on the layout selected.

Aside from all the cool key features this keyboard offers, the next best impressive thing is the battery life. Under typical use, they are projecting 2-years of use with standard alkaline AAA's. (it takes 2 batteries)
That is some pretty impressive power usage.
That is some pretty impressive power usage.
Switching between devices is very convenient, no need to open up any settings, or do anything else ( provided your 2 devices have already been paired ) . Just simply hit the device button you want, and start typing. Go back and forth between the two devices as often as needed without skipping a beat.
The keyboard is compact, and has a very low profile, but feels very sturdy, the keys feel soft to the touch, and are relatively quiet, with just a light sound, depending on how hard or fast you are typing.
Even though it is compact, it doesn't shift around at all when placed on a level surface. There are rubber stoppers on the bottom of the device to keep it from moving, but there is also a nice weight to it, which adds to holding it in place.
I have actually typed this whole review with the K580, while it was sitting on a newspaper on my kitchen table, and it hasn't budged an inch. It really holds it's place very well. But does offer an impressive wireless range of slightly over 32 feet, for people that might like to lounge on the couch or anywhere else and still be able to use your devices.

all the features of a high end laptop and tablet
on November 4, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
There is so much to like about this laptop, it comes with a lot of bells and whistles....fingerprint scanner, full size keyboard with backlit keys, full HD touch screen with pen support, thunderbolt 3, and usb 3.1 ports, hdmi, a media reader. Dell Mobile connect,PCIe NVMe SSD with Optane , web cam, Dell Cinema, Express Charge, and of course the best feature probably being that this is a 2-in-1 device
The 2-in-1 feature is great, the laptop folds very easily but holds it's position at practically any angle. You can even position it on it's side, and get a portrait look, just like your phone. The touch screen is very responsive and accurate. I also like the fact that Dell engineered this laptop to be able to maintain a constant flow of air ,for cooling, no matter it's position, or what it's sitting on (even a pillow). They even managed to create adaptive thermals, this 2-in-1 is supposed to be smart enough to know when it's in your hands, your lap, or a desk, and adapt the air flow to reduce hot-spots for your comfort.
Optane Drives are very handy for increasing the speed of any device with a hard drive. It's way faster than just a standard HDD ( ex,.an Optane M.2 module placed in a 7th-gen Core motherboard can speed up overall performance by 28% and increase data access by 1400%)Although Optane technology isn't currently much faster than 3D NAND, the biggest advantage when they are paired together, is in the lower latency access times, which make this 4 to 5 times faster.Optane has the capabilities to make the programs and files that you access the most, faster to retrieve as Optane holds those files in it's memory, even after shut downs for quicker processing times when you want to use them again.
The GeForce integrated graphics offers 3D capabilities and can easily handle photo and video edits, and even play a lot of games smoothly. Although, I found that the more demanding games like Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty, and Fortnite could still run good, but at reduced video qualities. The installed RAM is 8GB of DDR4, but can be upgraded to a max of 16GB, for some additional performance.

the Express charge lets you go from 0% to 35% in just 20 minutes, and 80% in 1 hour
Dell Cinema offers the best in current HDR with Dolby Vision, and improved audio with Waves MaxxAudio Pro, and it even tries to enhance your streams by using SmartByte to maximize channel bandwidth for reduced stutter and maximum video quality.
The Dell Mobile connect is really a fascinating feature, it lets you connect directly to your smart phone and funnel your notifications from calls, texts, IMs and other apps, directly to your laptop, so that your phone can stay in your pocket or wherever while you are working on your laptop.
The description states the keyboard as being "RGB" , but after looking through the settings and a very lengthy call to dell support, we have concluded that the only color available on this laptop's keyboard backlight is white. Not too sure why it was mentioned in the description of this model, unless it was a fluke that I got a different variant of this laptop. After scrolling through the hardware specifications, Dell support was able to see that the keyboard on my laptop is only capable of the white backlight. Everything else, as far as I have seen seems to be correct about the descriptions.
This laptop does have an impressive array of features similar to a higher end or more expensive device, and while the performance is good, it's not as good as some of my other more expensive pc's. However for the price range it is in, it performs very well and has a lot to offer. Most of the benchmarks I performormed had this laptop ranking above average for it's class. The only test that came out lower than average was the graphics, but as I had stated earlier, the graphics are still good enough to play most games, just some at a reduced video quality.
The laptop is light enough to carry anywhere, but still sturdy enough to hold it's form while flipping it around, I have noticed that on some lower quality devices that the frame will twist a little bit, if you are only using one hand to hold it, but not this one.
Overall I think this 2-in-1 laptop is a great mid-grade device, that should be able to handle virtually all of your general needs. This laptop is designed more for convenience with it's ability convert easily into a writing tablet, a drawing pad, a TV, a game pad, web browser, and more especially with the included Cortana features.

Awesome 1080p display
on October 19, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
The monitor is Full HD. Full HD or FHD, for some that are unaware simply means a 1920 x 1080 resolution in a 16:9 display. Full HD does not mean you are getting the highest resolution available at the time of production. Actually anything over 640 x 480 is considered HD (high definition), and there are a few different resolutions and ratios in between, so FHD just means that you are not getting one of the lower HD resolutions. 1920 x 1080 still offers great clarity and a wide range of colors. I am including some photos taken with my phone, of the monitor's screen for some reference. I am very aware that there are a lot of the factors involved in how these pictures will look, based on your current screen's settings and capabilities, over the actual camera on my phone (Galaxy Note8). However, I wanted to provide a small reference point to maybe show how nice the image quality is.
The monitor is plug and play, but you can download drivers from LG's website. ( I noticed no difference in features or performance by downloading the drivers.)
The FreeSync is a great feature for gamers if you have an AMD graphics card. FreeSync - matches frame rates of compatible AMD graphics card, creating smoother game play and no screen lag. With a refresh rate of 75Hz @ 5milliseconds, screen lag should not be an issue for pretty much any game, or graphics card. All the games I played had great response times, and very smooth, clear images. This monitor also has a contrast ratio of 1000:1, and 250 cd/m² brightness, for a wide color gambit, and increased level of clarity.
The viewing angle is actually pretty wide, 178 degrees with the IPS display- (In Plane Switching LCDs offer greater viewing angles over the older matrix LCD monitors, which use to put out restricted viewing angles and degraded colors ) This screen retains it's clarity and colors at pretty much any angle you would want to be viewing at.
Like most computer monitors this does not have any internal speakers, but does have a headphones jack in the back of the display.The control buttons have actually been minimized to a small joystick on the bottom center of the screen. At first I thought that was going to be a bit awkward, but actually works very well, and is pretty easy to find.
Assembly was extremely easy. The base comes with a built in screw, that can be tightened with a quarter if need be, to the neck of the stand. Which in turn can be placed into the back of the monitor at an angle( which helps hold the monitor and stand together) while you find the 2 screws and a phillips screwdriver. The stand does allow the screen to tilt at various angles. If you don't care for the stand, the monitor does have holes for a wall mount.
Overall this monitor delivers a great picture for a 1080p display, the clarity and colors are much better than my older monitor(which was only a couple years old).Everything runs smooth and looks very impressive, especially with the low glare display, I love not having as many reflective distractions on the screen!

follow directions for best results
on October 17, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
I would first like to mention how nice this blender looks, the brushed nickel looks very classy, and the picture is heavy glass, with a removable blade and base. Overall the look and feel of the device and glass is pretty high quality. The buttons are protected with a durable layer of plastic, yet still very easy to press. The covered buttons also make for very easy cleaning.
The Oster Master series blender offers many preset blending functions. It's very easy to select what you want and either press the play/start button or the pulse button to start blending. The pulse button by itself is used to get chunkier blends. However you really need to read the directions to get the hang of how to use the chunky features properly, otherwise you will just end up pureeing everything.
When prepping for larger chunk cuts/blends you really need to make sure you have enough liquid in the picture, or place the items you don't mind pureed on the bottom, so they can give the larger items more room to move down to the blades. I found that I was getting smaller chunks than I wanted because of these two issues, but also because I was using very large pieces of food. I wanted to see how it would do, with the minimal amount of work from the user. ( I have included some pics to show the before and after effects of my attempts)
I think big chunks are possible with this blender, but under the right circumstances. Of course, these terms are all relative to one's own perspective. I was aiming for Chunky soup in a can size bits.
Again I think it is possible , if you have the right amount of loose fluid, and the right size chops to start with. Then simply hit the pulse button a few short times to get your desired size cuts.
The smoothies and milk shakes came out perfect. After selecting the right buttons and hitting start, the machine goes through a series of higher and lower speed cycles to help circulate the food, so not just the bottom of the jar gets chopped up.
The salsa even came out really good on the recommended cycles. with small chunks, perfect for dipping, yet still big enough to sit on the chip. (see pictures)
Overall I think this is a GREAT blender with great consistencies, and a pretty good chopper( with a little experimenting )

Easy setup , great for multiple users
on October 11, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
This router is designed for medium to large homes.
Out of the box it promises 3000 sq. ft. , but can easily connect to other
Velop nodes to increase wifi coverage in much larger spaces.
The router and any nodes necessary can easily be set up with the Linksys
app.
It took less than a minute to connect my phone to the router, and rename
the SSID with a new password.
The app also allows users to go more advanced and enter quality of service
settings as well as parental controls. The app even lets you monitor or
change settings outside of your home network, ie. work or on the road ( as
long as you can connect to the internet ). Which is a great feature if you
need to modify parental controls or allow guest user access while you are
not home.
The best feature of this router is the tri-band with MU-MIMO technology.
This is what makes it possible to have several users on the network
utilizing larger bandwidths, but all receiving high quality uninterrupted
bandwidth as if each user was the only one on the network. The Tri-Band
signal consists of one 2.4ghz signal, with two 5ghz signals. The two 5ghz
signals split the band down the middle creating one high band and one lower
band signal. The intelligent features find the best signal paths to allow
for the fastest internet connections.
MU-MIMO stands for Multi-User - Multiple Input/ Multiple Output which
allows for more antennas on the router, to be used for simultaneous input
and output signals.
So far this router has lived up to it's promises (within the limits of our
ISP, fios 1Gbps) Everyone has had a solid connection for both games and
streaming, which is something that would make our games suffer at, in the
past. Streams use to freeze and glitch if too many people were downloading
at the same time. The MR9000 handles all this with no glitches and what
seems to be minimal to no lag.

Cooks everything the right way!
on September 28, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
The Chefman 7-in-1 cooker is the most versatile cooker in our house.
The machine itself is a very classy looking countertop oven. The brushed stainless steel front, with large knobs, and large glass window in the door, makes this look like someone shrunk a full size high end oven. The non stick interior makes cleaning pretty easy. However the basket, rack and crumb tray are not non-stick, so they might require a little bit of soaking depending on what gets on them.
The first thing I cooked, was actually just a slice of toast. There is definitely room for 6 slices, but I wasn't that hungry.
I left the rack on the lower level, and was surprised that both sides were toasted the same, and very evenly. There is also plenty of height in this mini oven, so toasting bagel halves or even bagel sandwiches would work with ease.
I left the rack on the lower level, and was surprised that both sides were toasted the same, and very evenly. There is also plenty of height in this mini oven, so toasting bagel halves or even bagel sandwiches would work with ease.
I next tried some frozen chicken wings using the recipe in the included book. They came out fully cooked and juicy. The exterior was slightly crisp, but not that much. It could have been because of the type of frozen wings I used. I like my wings very crispy, so I turned up the temp to the max setting, and cooked them for another 10 minutes. They came out perfect, very crispy on the outside, and still a little juicy on the inside.
I also tried air frying a few unseasoned wings, the left side of the tray had no oils, and the right side had a light mist of olive oil. Both sides seemed to crisp up the same. I really like how well air frying works with no oils. (I am including some pictures of the cooked wings.)
All functions of this oven work great, the only limitation I could possibly foresee would be the 60 minute cooking timer, but nothing I would cook would even come close to that. So far everything cooked has come out great, with a little tweaking for my personal preferences.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that you need to use the right cooking function for the right foods. If you are not sure, try looking on the internet for recipes specifically designed for the type of cooking you are doing. They say that chicken wings and small sections of meat, fries and chips turn out really good in the air fryer. They also say that because air fryers don't force hot air down on top of food, it cooks quicker, without drying out foods, so souffles, cookies and baked goods turn out great also. You can even cook hard boiled eggs without the water. Some foods to NOT cook with the air fryer would be fresh vegetables, battered goods, and foods with loose seasoning.
The convection oven setting is very similar to the air fryer, except it takes a little longer to cook, and can dry out certain foods. Works well for roasts, roasted veggies, pizzas, casseroles and sheet pan dinners, as well as other dishes that you would want cooked evenly. Convection ovens recirculate the heated air, giving a more consistent temperature throughout the oven. But are not good for cooking cakes, quick breads, custards, or soufflés.
For everything else you can use the regular bake or broil setting for traditional oven cooking. The drip pan can even be used to hold water for steaming foods in the basket.

fast prints with great text color and detail

This LASER printer might not be as fast as some of the more expensive laser printers, but it's still faster than most inkjet printers with 19ppm for color or black&white prints.Even full page photos print just as quick. I have noticed some banding in full size prints on plain paper and thicker matte paper, but to be fair laser printers are not really known for their photo printing. For best photo prints with a laser printer, make sure to buy photo paper designed for laser printers, as there is a big difference in how inkjet and laser printers print. Inkjet printers use liquid ink, that needs to soak into the media to create the images. Laser printers use a laser to heat up powdered ink off a roller, to create the image on the media. Using the wrong type of photo paper will not turn out favorable results with either type of printer. While inkjet printers usually have more of an assortment in printing media, you can still find some decent options for laser printers, including waterproof, labels and photo papers.Where laser printers really excel is with volume and overall price per prints. The standard cartridges can yield 1300 to 1400 prints, while the high yield cartridges put out about 3000 pages. Printing per page is usually less than half the cost of inkjet printers. Although when you are first setting up your laser printer, it might seem a lot more expensive, because most of the expenses are up front. Just keep in mind that it will be a lot longer till your need for more toner. Inkjets typically yield between 300 pages for standard and 600 pages for high yield, which is partially why the hardware and ink tanks are a lot cheaper.
Even though this model does put out some good fast prints, it lacks some of the higher end features, like a lcd touch screen. The display on this printer is very small, and only one line. The buttons are just as limited as the screen, with basic functionality. You can still access the wifi settings, and general options, but it seems a little tedious. Especially using the manual paper feeder. First off, you have to access the general settings, then the paper tray settings, and finally the "manual tray" option. Here you need to scroll to "on" , and then exit the menu. From here anytime I pre-loaded my piece of paper into the paper feeder, I would forever get an error, saying there is a paper jam in the manual paper tray. I even called customer support, but they were not much help, as they wanted to sync up through my laptop with the printer to try to diagnose the problem. I eventually figured out that it would print from the manual tray, if I didn't try to pre-load the piece of paper. So, just to re-iterate, the settings were set to print from the manual tray, but would only do it, if I left the manual paper tray empty while I hit print. then the printer would ask for the paper to be loaded. I would then load the paper and insert it into the machine as far as it would go, without bending the paper up. The printer would notice the paper, and then take it for printing.
Overall I am still pleased with this printer for my needs, it gets the job done pretty good, and there will not be much of a need to constantly change any settings or use the manual paper feed. So the two negatives, about this printer shouldn't pop up very often. ( I am including some prints for quality purposes, everything is on plain paper)

this massager really hits the spot
on September 18, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
Honestly I have never had a massager be so effective before.I have tried lots of different massagers in the past; the handhelds, matts, neck, and back devices.Most of the other massagers I bought were the vibrating or Shiatsu kinds, and while they did offer some type of relief, it was never quite enough. So typically I would always have my girlfriend rub the areas of my back that hurt the worst. I have 3 bulging discs in my back, and still do more things that I shouldn't (concerning my condition). So when my back pain gets pretty bad, it can turn into throbbing pain in my lower back, as well as sciatica all the way down to my toes. Like I said regular massagers offer some relief, but really not enough to make a difference. The Theragun actually moves past just the outer layer of skin and muscle, and reaches further into the different layers of muscles. What a difference, this massager not only works so well, but is designed in a fashion that makes it possible for me to use this on my own back, removing this tedious task from my girlfriend. Which by the way, she did a pretty good job, but always had a difficult time trying to press hard enough to really work out some of the problem areas. This massagers hits all those hard to reach problems, and does it fast. There is not much for literature in the box, but there is however a pretty extensive set of directions in the Theragun App. As this is a percussive massager, I would not recommend just jumping into using this without reading some of the tips and directions. The app has specific instructions for pretty much all kinds of problem areas, and great tips on how to alleviate the associated pains. It is important to understand that using this massager incorrectly can cause some issues, if you are doing something that hurts, than it's probably a safe bet to say you are probably doing it wrong. Most of the massages require a very light touch with just a couple minutes of massaging. However the device does come with a few different massager heads to accommodate different problems, or preferences. It just happens that I got sick over the weekend, and had that whole body aching feeling, where I didn't even want to move. Then I remembered the Theragun, and ended up using it on pretty much every muscle I had, even the bottom of my feet. It felt much better, and got me up and moving around a bit. There aren't too many things that I can say actually alter my life after getting, but this is definitely one of them. My only complaints about this model is that it is a little bit noisy, but I understand that doing what it does and being quiet are probably not possible. The other is that I would have liked a third level for the intensity settings, there is a low and high, but I would have liked an even lower setting, for a more mellow experience. But other than that, this device is a life savor! I literally can't live without now!

Forget about vacuuming for up to a month. The Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty XL combines the convenience of a self-empty base + IQ Navigation total home mapping for complete, efficient cleaning with the performance of Shark suction and self-cleaning brushroll. After each cleaning session, your robot vacuum automatically empties into the bagless base, which holds up to a month of dirt and debris.

best way to clean any floor, from your recliner
on September 13, 2019
Posted by: Aaronxx7
from central new york
For the size of this vacuum, it does a great job of keeping the floors clean.It's not as powerful as most high end upright vacuums, but it does a really good job.It picks up about 90% of the debris on my floor with it's first run. Some things pushed down into the carpet are a little tougher for it to get, and obviously items that are stuck to rugs or hard floors are going to need an actual hand to scrub and remove. Our rugs get pretty dirty with the pets, and kids constantly tracking debris into the house. Plus, they are always dropping bits of whatever they are eating everywhere. I let the Shark Robot loose in the house, and it did a great job for such a small vacuum. I was actually amazed at the size of some of the objects this robot vacuumed up,..ie. peanut M&M's, Nerf bullets, pieces of toys, and chunks of papers. I didn't go through the house before I set it free, because I wanted to see how far it would make it before getting stuck somewhere. It actually vacuumed for a while before needing assistance. A few times it was from tissues getting stuck in the wheels, the other times were from Nerf bullets getting stuck in the roller housing, or large pieces of plastic wrappers (my kids are slobs just half the time). The roller housing pops out very easy, and obstructions can be removed in seconds. The tissues in the wheels were just as easy to remove. Overall the maintenance is pretty easy, and once all the oddball obstacles are off the floor, the robot can do it's job without incident.I actually have 4 types of flooring in my house; high carpets, low carpets, hardwood and tiles. The Shark robot does a great job with all the floors, and can even move between them with relative ease.(see pic of different floor types) The "side brushes" actually do a great job at cleaning to the edges of the rooms. Most of the edges got pretty clean, but some small items still remained in a few locations. (I'm including pictures of one of my tiled floors near the edge. As you can see almost all of the loose debris was collected) This model boasts more suction power than the "best-selling" other robots, and I'm inclined to believe it, after seeing everything that this has picked up. I also love the fact that this little robot cleans itself. Right after it docks, you can hear the base kick on it's suction power, and pull all the debris from the robot. Everything is bagless, so just cleaning the filters and emptying the base on occasion, is all that is really needed under normal operation.The app is pretty essential, as it lets you set up an automatic cleaning schedule, and lets you pick the power setting (either standard, economy, and powerful). It also lets you tell the robot which room to clean. It's pretty easy to connect the robot to the wifi, using the app. Then it can even be voice controlled through the Alexa or Google assistant apps. So far it looks like you can get about an hour of cleaning per charge, and once the battery is low, or the dirt reservoir is full, it automatically docks to take care of that.The robot is actually pretty good about navigating around most areas, but can get stuck in narrow areas that it enters, and can't turn around. It's low profile lets it crawl under most of our end tables and different types of furniture. The robot also makes very tight turns around small obstacles, maximizing it's cleaning area. The self cleaning brush roller actually does a great job of not getting tangled up with all the pet hair it collects.
Overall this Shark IQ robot, is a very smart self cleaning automatic vacuum. It may not be as powerful as some upright vacuums, but it does a great job for it's size. Plus it can do all the vacuuming in the house, while I'm out doing other things. I am very happy with it's capabilities and performance!

This drive is ultra fast, compact and quiet
on August 28, 2019

This drive is marketed for Chromebooks, and works great for Chromebooks, but can also be used with virtually any system that accepts usb storage, including laptops, PCs, MACs, XBOXs, Playstations, tablets, and even phones with the appropriate adapters.
Although you have to keep in mind that transfer speeds will be different than advertised based on adapters used, and the connected devices.
Although you have to keep in mind that transfer speeds will be different than advertised based on adapters used, and the connected devices.
There is not much in specs on the box, as Seagate does not typically offer the same types of specs for portable storage like they do for their internal drives.
Their website does indicate that this drive is formatted in exFAT , for more of a plug and play feature with more types of devices. exFAT is also a much lighter system than NTFS, and able to handle larger drive sizes over the traditional FAT system, up to 4GB capacities.
After confirming with Seagate tech support, this drive is in fact a Hard Disk Drive, not a hybrid or Solid Sate Drive. Although they didn't have much more to offer than that, it's probably reasonable to assume that this is very similar to their 2.5" internal laptop drives that run at 5400RPMs.
When I asked Seagate what the actual drives data transfer rates were, they basically said it was 5 Gbps (Giga bits per second), which is the max data rate of USB 3. Keep in mind that when most manufacturers are talking about data speeds they always use bits instead of Bytes. (1 Byte is equal to 8 bits.)
I did run some speed tests on my Chromebook, and laptop using the included USB 3 cable and USB 3 ports. I am including pictures of the results. I was also able to transfer 6 GigaBytes of data per minute from my laptop to the drive.
So far I am very pleased with this drive, I love how compact, and stylish it is. It's pretty easy to carry around with me for sharing larger data files with ease. I have not had to do anything more than plug it in, to use it on several different devices.

The Apex 3 gaming keyboard was built for the needs of gamers, with water and dust resistance for protection against spills and accidents, as well as premium features like low friction whisper quiet gaming switches, 10-zone RGB customization, a premium magnetic wrist rest, multimedia controls, and gaming-grade keys.
So does this have pre-set color changing led's like the hyperx alloy core? or do I have to install software to change the colors? I know it says 10-zone rgb illumination, im just very new to pc stuff and not sure.
It does have some pre-set color options that can be changed by pressing the SteeleSeries icon button and the F9 button.

Can one safely use this product on a carpet protected by Stain Master
It should work fine on carpets with stain master. Although, it might remove some of the protective layer of stain master.
So, you should re-apply with one of their touch up sprays, if you still want the protection.
