The car is my daughter’s and she has had many a flat changed. The car is a 2009 Acura TL. Should I purchase a TPMS unit for that tire and bring it to a auto repair shop?

I just checked the AC Pro website for FAQ’s. Here are a few that address some of the concerns mentioned in this thread about this product: (By the way, I have NO financial interest in this product…just an interest in finding the least expensive, self satisfying and effective way of repairing my automotive AC)
1 – Will Super Seal clog any component of my AC system?
No. The chemical formulation remains in a liquid state inside the a/c system until it detects moisture at the leak point and self-seals. Super Seal contains a drying agent to prevent any sealing activity while in the system. Super Seal will be removed from the system with the refrigerant as it either leaks out or is removed.
2 – Has the chemical technology in Super Seal ever been used before?
Yes. The sealant technology in Super Seal has been used for decades in the underground gas transfer industry, sealing leaks in pipes, tanks, compressors, and other gas filled containers.
3 – How long will a Super Seal repair last?
Any leak fixed by Super Seal during a recharge will create a permanent bond that will not leak from that point again. In addition Super Seal will continue to flow through the A/C system as a lubricant and seal any new leaks that may develop which makes it great for preventative maintenance.
4 – I keep having to add refrigerant, where did it go?
If you are constantly adding refrigerant to your system you have a leak. If your car is over five years old then chances are the o-rings and gaskets have become brittle and inelastic causing small leaks throughout the system. Adding a refrigerant with a leak sealer and o-ring condition will help to correct this problem.
5 – Will IDQ leak sealers damage a mechanic’s A/C recovery and recycling equipment if refrigerant is removed later?
No, IDQ leak sealers are system safe and will not damage A/C systems or recovery equipment, as they are discarded with the waste oil. The leak sealers in IDQ All-in-One products recondition and rejuvenate rubber components in the air conditioning system. They do not solidify or harden, and there is no deterioration over time.

What about if the new pads have there own shims? Also, my brembro brakes are on an Acura RL. Does this make a difference with shim use?

2 weeks later and AC system is still running fine….Will keep everyone informed as to the results of using this product.

If the leak returns after 2 weeks, I will try ac pro super seal. I used the ac pro product on 30 June….so far so good

What is the color of r-134a and PAG refrigerant oil? Since these are the components of my ac system.

It does not feel oily. It is dry. I was concerned about freon spraying out from low side of ac system. Do you think this happened? Should I buy a screw on cap for the low side shradder valve; it is missing?
Could the road salt spray up through the undercarriage onto the underside of the hood? If so, road salt may be what it is.
