    DP Paint wheel and glass coatings, giveaway review on 2014 Pearl Acura MDX

    Nice review and nicer looking car!! The DP prep polish is one hell of a product. Whether you are coating or just want to throw a fresh coat of wax on, that stuff works better than anything I have used to prep the surface. The paint coating is excellent. Easy to use, looks great, and takes...

    DP Paint Coating Initial Observations

    I haven't had a problem re-using applicators. I have used the gold finger pockets so far and just spray with Megs APC+ right away, agitate, and rinse. No issues so far.

    Portercable: if the pad isn't rotating am I pressing too hard?

    Build up of product will also make it harder for the pad to rotate. Working clean goes a long way with helping the pad rotate easily.

    DP Paint Coating Initial Observations

    Just want to re-iterate how important good lighting is no matter what color the paint. Good lighting goes a long way in making this coating easy to apply and to help keep from leaving high spots.

    Got a new (to me) car on Friday...

    I thought about pouring the hyper compound/polish into another bottle but then it loses the "convenience factor" of it being in a spray bottle. Might have to give it a try anyway. :xyxthumbs:

    Got a new (to me) car on Friday...

    I have read that the stock brake setup is good. I doubt I will need calipers but I am pretty sure my rotors are at least slightly warped or the pads that are on there suck because I am getting a lot of brake noise. Pads and rotors will be an easy and not too expensive upgrade (depending on...

    Collinite 840 or a premium clay bar

    If the truck has never been clayed before I would clay it.

    Got a new (to me) car on Friday...

    I think brakes will be first and then a trip to Buffalo, NY to get a full Solo Performance exhaust system from the headers back (hopefully by next summer). :dblthumb2: I might go ahead and get it tuned now just to get that extra 30-40 hp these V6's are capable of since it will be a little while...

    Got a new (to me) car on Friday...

    The pics above really don't do justice to how beat up the paint is on this car. A white pad would be too mild to cut through the damage. The microfiber pads give the extra cut needed to clean this thing up. I like using the D300 compound because in my experience it has a longer working time...

    Got a new (to me) car on Friday...

    Started compounding today. I got the "doghouse" done. Except for the front bumper...too rashed up. Just want to say that I tried the Optimum Microfiber Cutting Pads with D300...damn good pads and finish down really nice.

    Insurance?

    I think the type you are looking for is "garage keepers" insurance. You may have to have separate riders for mobile work and if you keep cars over night (not 100% sure). As far as companies go I would just look into the local companies in your area. If their rates are ridiculous then go for...

    Eyelashes for your vehicle?

    Saw a pair of eyelashes (chrome) on a car the other day while driving down I-80 (NW Indiana)...first thought was "you have got to be f'ing kidding me!!" Thought still hasn't changed...
