I will keep the writing brief since there is plenty threads on the new DP products, but picture-by-picture I will try to describe the product or process. Enjoy and please ask questions.


The car is my wife’s 2013 CRV it was wearing Gtechniq C2 that was applied 3 month ago. Yesterday I washed the car and striped the LSP with citrus wash. The bugs and road grime where taken care of with the new DP Road Kill. Today before applying the DP coating prep (with DA speed 4 green pad) I washed the car again with Megs D114 rinseless to remove any dust that accumulated overnight.

After the paint prep applying the coating was fool proof, I used a yellow foam applicator and wiped down high spots with the mf applicator; followed the directions in Mikes thread.

The finish came out great, with a deep glassy looking finish. Here some reflections shots of the car in the garage. The wheels were cleaned with UWW+ and tires coated DP tire gel. The windows were cleaned with the new DP window cleaner, the window cleaner is good but wont be replacing my Pinnacle window cleaner anytime soon. Also the nozzle on the DP does make a bit of a mess.

After keeping the car in the garage for 8 hours, it was time to move the Acura back in before it starts to rain.

Looks good. I just got the dp coating and i'm having a hard time with it. I did three cars, put two coats on them and used 1/3 bottle. My problem was trying to figure out if i put enough on and if it covered everything. I was wondering if you had the same problem. After i spray the coating on its hard to see what was covered. I was wondering what u used to spread the coating out with. I seem to have the best luck with the microfiber pad that came with my bfcs. I tried a cotton wax application pad but it was putting scratches in my soft blue impala paint.
thanks

Every time, except once, I used CarPro applicator blocks and CarPro suede microfibers. Application was a breeze. Took the tip from Wors.
