*New* at DP: Tire Dressing App & Prima Trunk Bag!

We have a couple of new items on our website (and in our retail store) that I wanted to share with you all...


An excellent quality tire dressing applicator with a removable/replaceable pad!

This is solidly made and has a great feel in the hand. The contour works well on all tire types!

We also have replacement/extra pads available:





Our other new item is a Prima Trunk Bag.

One of our Prima retailers commissioned us to have product bags made. So, we jumped on the production run and made a few for ourselves while we were at it!

Because of the special production circumstances, we have a somewhat limited supply of these super nice bags. However, if they're popular, we'll have another batch made.

Details:
The bag holds up to 6 standard (16 oz) Prima bottles, as well as a few microfiber. It also has a front zipper pocket to store small extras. (note that this pocket fits Black Wow very nicely!)

Its made of a very durable nylon and was custom made right here in Colorado.

Please let me know if you have any questions about our new items!

i bought the top one from griot's 2yrs ago... it works great on tires with
60+ profile.

does that trunk bag have the automotive grade velcro on the back
so that you can attach it onto the liner?

Yes, the tire app is the same style sold by Griot's. I met the inventor (and his wife) and tested the app at SEMA this year and was very impressed.

No, the trunk bag does not have velcro on the back. We didn't have a say on the design of it since someone else commissioned us to have it made. We just jumped in on the production run. That said, despite having no velcro, it is a very sturdy, well-made bag. It's very nice.

Sorry though Ken!

Yeah. Right now I have my mini mobile detailing kit (2 oz bottles of Slick, Hydro, and Clarity, and a couple of different MFs) in a little mesh bag...I'm going to move them into this new bag

Umm, I haven't tried (or measured). Let me get back to you tomorrow on both of those things.

They'd be pretty useless without heads, unless you're prone to pouring out some Hydro for your dead detailin' homies.

It measures approx. 9"x5"x9".

When you first look at it, it doesn't seem like it will hold 6 Prima bottles but it does so quite well! ...and, with a little room left for a couple of MF cloths and several apps too.


Yes, it holds 6x 16oz Prima bottles WITH sprayers.
(I just tried it will 6 Slicks just to make sure!)

That project is on hold right now. The costs of the travel size labels came in much higher than we anticipated. Don't worry though... its only on hold and we WILL do it eventually. Perhaps in the Spring or early Summer.

That's not the answer I wanted to hear! Well, technically it is, but now I'm tempted to order one (especially after seeing how dirty my wheels got after just three days). So it definitely wasn't the answer my already hurting bank account wanted to hear.

Too bad it doesn't plug into the power port in the boot and have a warmer so that your Prima products don't freeze in the winter.

Ha, you could install a little heating pad in it!

My problem is, I just went outside and looked in my cabinet...I have TEN Prima bottles. How do you choose which ones get to live in the cool bag? It's like choosing your favorite children!

I think my bottles of choice would be, in no particular order, Mystique, Slick, Hydro, Clarity, Nero and a lint roller for the rag top. If you have leather you could replace the roller with Nourish.
I can't think of a reason to carry Epic, Amigo, Finish, Swirl or Cut around with me. Maybe Glide and some clay.

I agree with your 5 choices. I probably need to get an empty Prima bottle/sprayer to put my Wheel Brightener in, then I'd be set!
