Awesome! Myself, and I'm sure many others look forward to your comparison!

I'm interested in trying these products on my car, but will stick to the DP Coatings for the rare customer I get, and all my friends and family. That DP stuff rocks for the price.

IMO those saying the DP paint coating maybe "yesterday's news", are off a little. Those products are cheap and they rock! And so far they've impressed me with each use. Don't sell it short! The DP line is geared towards pros and consumers like me who want quality at a good price, this Pinnacle stuff is itching for that high level of car care and those with rides I couldn't imagine being lucky to own.

Congrats AG looks awesome, guys who got early treats on Halloween post those reviews.

So this coating says it is resistant to scratches/etc. Would this be a good choice for a Jeep that is driven off-road to protect against light brush? Obviously I don't expect it to work if I drag a tree branch along the paint or something. How would this compare to opti-coat or cquartz as far as scratch resistance? Right now I just actively avoid brush when at all possible, but it would be nice to not have to be quite as careful. I've thought about using the other products many times but always been nervous about putting a permanent coating on. This seems extremely easy to work with though.

It says the coating is more resistant to scratches and marring, compared to your clear coat. Big difference.

I would still actively avoid scratching the vehicle, regardless of the wax, sealant, or coating that you choose.

I think you may have gotten that term a bit mixed up. What they mean by the scratch resistance is that things like marring or very light swirling might sometimes have less of a chance to occur on the coating vs the bare paint. No coating out there will protect your car from light brush. Its only meant to make super soft paints on cars a little better to work with on an up keeping stand point.

Thanks, makes sense. I'd originally been considering opti-coat since it sounded like it was a good size layer added to the paint. The thought process being if I had to buff something out, more chance that I'm buffing off opti-coat instead of precious layers of clearcoat. I guess I was just wondering if this could be used in a similar fashion or if the layer is not thick enough for something like that. It sounds like it would not be the same kind of thing. It sounds really promising for my wife's black Altima though since Nissan seems to have soft paint.

Hmm, more new products to try. So much for this week's paycheck...

One question. Why should i get the Pinnacle Black Label Cleansing Polish vs the DP coating prep polish? I just wanna know what the difference is, since the price point/product amound is quite different. If i was to get this tho id be using it on different coatings.
