You are in the Acura MDX Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
2002 mdx needs front pads & rotors. I have had good luck with Acura OEM parts. Does anone know what company makes the MDX discs and pads for Acura? Should I be looking at upgrading, I like to get discs and pads that have long life.

Having owned mycar for 1 month/550 miles, I noticed that if I let loose the steering wheel the car tends to run off to the left border of the lane it is on. However, I am not 100% sure if the lane is purely straight. Is there a better way to check this? Or just go talk to the dealer about my suspicion? Any idea? Thanks.

Have new '06MDX which will be kept outside (New England) all year around. What wax is best for decent protection and still reasonable in terms of labor to use as reaching the top is "fun" since I am more use to sedans.

Replying to: heart2 (Oct 14, 2006 6:13 pm) www.Meguiars.com It's very easy to apply, wipes off without any power or residue, and the results are phenomenal. I've got an 06 MDX Touring, Sage Brush Pearl. After waxing, in the sun, it looks like you could go swimming in the finish. I use this on my wheels as well. It makes for very easy removal of brake dust. I suggest applying approx every 3 months. The NXT-Generation Car Wash is fantastic as well. It PH Balanced and wont remove your newly applied wax.

Replying to: heart2 (Nov 01, 2006 12:10 pm)  There's no worse thing that can be done to your vehicle than a commercial car wash. I know winter is coming and it's horribly cold outside, but I suggest waiting for those warmer days (ie, above freezing) and doing it with the self-serve stalls. DO NOT use the brush, but just the wand with high pressure soap and rinse. You can keep a jelly blade in the car to remove most of the water, and a micro-fiber towel will quickly remove the rest. Your ride will come out dryer than the auto-wash, and you won't get those frozen lines of salty ice down the sides as you drive away. As for the wax, it's the sun that does most of the wax break-down... and the sun does it's evil abuse to our cars year round. Glad you tried the NXT... My MDX sparkles like crazy when I'm done... and yes, that's a very big car to wax (LOL). You'll notice that the wheels will still need a little soap and water to come clean, but no where near the work needed before they were waxed.

Replying to: scottm123 (Nov 02, 2006 6:13 am) Mr_Shiftright, "Teflon Paint Sealants Revisited" #7, 10 Jul 2003 9:33 am Interesting recent paint article on Edmunds: "The difference [in paint] today is that resin is a waterborne polymer engineered at the molecular level. This works to lower air-polluting emissions when it's sprayed on, and it produces a long-lasting, UV-, tree sap- and bird-dropping-resistant finish. "Everything is done at a nano level," Cressy explains further. "There is new spraying equipment that atomizes the paint much more productively without overspray. And the paint often has an electric charge so it adheres better to the [oppositely charged] body. The technology around paint has changed more in the last 10 years than it had in the previous 60."
