The Hype Surrounding DWG - Page 6

DWG is sealant based, so it would not bond properly over the top of RMG. Also, DWG and RMG are both glazes, so you probably wouldn't want to use two glazes. RMG is a glaze meant to be used before a carnauba based LSP, DWG is a glaze meant to be used before a sealant based LSP.

good to know info. I'll hold off on the DWG for now till I finish off the RMG.

well I finally managed a good clean and a layer of DWG followed by another layer of UPGP

Considering my car is a dark silver i was very impressed at the visible difference from the DWG application. Definitely glossier and wetter and look forward to tomorrow once the PGP is cured fully

Applied at speed 3 on the UDM with a red SFX finishing pad - went on really easy and buffed off even easier - LOVE this stuff and just exiled more bottles to the forthcoming sale

Good to hear, Bigpikle! I'm gonna do UPGP over DWG on the next car I do.

did some by hand on the MG in the garage, but under the fluorescents on such a light colour its tough to see the impact...wait until some sun and a long drive

Is DWG compatible before CMW? Or would RMG be a better match?

I finally have a sample of DWG thanks to Eliot Ness, who I finally got meet last night. Talk about GREAT guy to talk to.

I'll be trying the DWG soon...I bought the Ultima sampler today, so I'll be able to try it with UPGP.

You would want to use RMG before CMW, as CMW is carnauba based.

2. I think that Opti-Seal gives a pretty comparable look to UPGP. I really do like UPGP better, though, as it has among the best environmental protection of any of the sealants.

3. You would get better durability from the DWG (and any sealants you then put on top of the DWG) if you put it down on bare clear coat. Sealants (and DWG is a weak sealant) typically don't bond well to waxes or traditional glazes, like Red Moose. You mentioned that you did Vanilla Moose->RMG->Opti-Seal. The Opti-Seal isn't going to give you very good durability that way, as sealants won't bond well to traditional glazes like RMG. Try using the DWG instead of RMG. DWG is *meant* to be used prior to a sealant, so it won't hurt the durability/bonding of any sealant you put on after the DWG. RMG is great stuff, but if you're going to use it, you should top it with a carnauba based LSP. RMG plus a good carnauba will give you good defect hiding abilities if you need to cover stuff up.

Thanks SuperBee, I really appreciate it. The correct pairing of different styles of glazes with either sealants or carnauba is the kind of information that is super valuable for me to know, but that can be somewhat confusing to figure out just by reading posts here. I was fairly happy with my old Vanilla Moose> Red Moose>Opti-Seal, but I like DWG a LOT and see the potential for a wetter look, which is what I am after.

Thanks to your additional info I have the confidence to try using use UPGP or OS after DWG, and know the pairing will be a good combo. I appreciate the help and look forward to triyng it out this weekend.

Sounds like a fun weekend, Bob, have a good time!

You can use wax or sealant over DWG. It's RMG that you have to be selective about what you top it with.

UPGP and DWG on any shade of silver is a killer combo.
