ok guys, teach me more about DuraGloss

[buja]

been thinking bout trying DG products, would be good to hear opinions and experiences of their products, mainly,

111
101
105
601

sealants I have used are CG mseal, jetseal, 4* UPP .

wonder how they compare, and i'm also thinking about wolfgang dgps too

durability is awesome and looks are better than average for sealants. I use 601 - 105 combo on clients that drive there car everyday or cars that are not garaged.

I used 501 to clean the paint and it did a great job, clean and pretty slick, I topped it off with 111 it left a great wet look. This is on my 14 yr old DD, driven 350 miles a week outside 24/7.

601 PBA and 111 make a nice combo. AW is nice for the price. Personally, I'd top darker cars with AW, I thought the combo looked better than 111 as a standalone.

Ive used clay, 101, 105, or clay, 601, 105 .

When topping glazes I use 601 and 111, on otherwise clean paint 601/105. 101 and 105 are purported to have mild cleansers that are designed to remove decaying LSPs but can be layered upon itself.

I've used 105 quite a bit, and it's easy to use, comes off nicely and leaves a very slick finish on properly prepped paint. Seems to last at least six weeks on a DD.

101 and 105 def have cleaners. I used them on a well cleaned car a few weeks ago and the pads went very dirty - more so with 105.

101 topped with 105 is awesome - deep, wet gloss and a glassy look. I also tried 111 but it didnt make any real difference to the 101 beneath it, so I reserve judgement until I try it again. I dont rate 101 particularly highly on its own, preferring Prime Acrylic for easier use, but I guess it forms a good base for more DG stuff. Would like to try 501 next time...

AW is superb, adds a lovely wet gloss after a wash.

105 beads and sheets very well - have it on 1 of my cars and after some big summer storms recently the car was self cleaning and drying on a short drive

Have some 601 to try under 105 for this winter to test out the durability - not used it yet.

[buja]

which is better ? 111 or 105 ?

[citizen arcane]

111 has a glossy look while 105 is wet looking. 111 is more of a pure sealant which is why I top glazes w/ it. I end up topping w/105 the next wash or so.

I've been reading good things about 501 as a cleaner and will add some my next order.


buja: the rest of their line is respectable and down right affordable. The products I use and recommend are -

111/105/601
951 AW (buy the gal.)
902 Car Wash Concentrate (again buy the gal.)
471 Bug Remover (works excellent as a pretreater or removing bug stains after the wash)
481 Wax Eraser (removes wax from trim w/ good results) - then top trim w/
271 Rubber & Flat Black Dressing (lasts for months w/ no running & a matte finish)
755 Glass Water Spot Remover (used w/ a PC I cleaned severe water spots from windows)
505 Water Spot Remover (haven't had a chance to use it yet - no spotting)

There are others in their line that seem to be very good products. The only one that has had excessive negative feedback is their paste wax. DG used to have reasonable shipping rates, last time I ordered directly from them in the spring it was $4.95 well worth trying their products.

Duragloss has a great range of products. No one knows more about them than Al-53 does, you might want to shoot him a quick PM if you have specific questions.

For me, the 501 and 105 combo is fantastic. Go slow with a white pad on 4 with the PC when applying the 501, then slap on a layer of 105. Great stuff, even better with a nice wax on top!
