A friend of mine with a GTO always tells me that he wants me to detail his metallic black GTO because mine (spice red metallic) looks so good. I wash, clay, cleanse with p21s, and polish with 1Z polishes. Now, he wants durability AND looks. So, here are most of my products, which combo will give the most durability with really good looks?



DG 601, 105, 501, AW

CG Ez-Creme

Optimum OS, OCW

Megs #26, UQD

SCG Barrier reef nuba, `nuba qd

WG glaze, wdgs (both v1) and DP Spray surface shield



I told him that 501 should give close to 6 months, but IDK how to make it look better without waiting 12 hrs for it to cure. I am thinking that my best options are 601/501/remove with AW or 2 layers of OS over 2hrs and then 1 layer of OCW...or 601/WDGS/AW





Thanks.

Yea, they have awesome durability, but the looks are a bit on the low side, no?

I have been very happy with DG products and don`t think my details have suffered frm lack of shine.

looks is all in the eye of the beholder...



but FWIW, I like CG EZ Cream Glaze (usually x2 coats for good measure) then followed by UPGP or any sealant and you should be set :)



I get about 6 weeks solid with ultima with 1 coat, and 2 - 4 months with 3 coats

DG 501 topped with 111 (I think it has a wetter look then 105)

DG is a good choice for durability and low price.
