Duragloss

I want to use the Duragloss line up but am quite confused. Which Duragloss products should I use and in what order? Looking for a cleaner, polish, and wax.

1. Duragloss 601 Polish Bonding Agent (PBA) similar in princible to a 2-part epoxy, and bonds chemically when it comes into contact with synthetic sealants. Duragloss 601 Polish Bonding Agent is specifically formulated to significantly extend the life of synthetic polish/sealants such as Duragloss 111 Clear Coat Polish and Duragloss 105 Total Polish.

2. Duragloss SMR (Swirl Mark Remover) a blend of waxes, polymers and polishing agents, which easily removes swirl marks from painted surfaces

3. Duragloss 105 is not a real glossy sealant like Klasse SG( looks like Zaino Z5pro) a combination of synthetic polymers and amino resins, the resins are suppose to mimic a waxed look i.e. more wet and deep

4. Duragloss 111 is the glossy looking sealant that gives a ‘look’ similar to Zaino Z2



• pre-cleaner 101/501

• apply 601 (no need to buff)

• apply any DG sealant (111 or 105) on top of 601 and buff off



Allow the sealant cure for at least 12 hours before top up any spray sealant or wax.

Regarding Duragloss, how often do they recommend using the 601 bonding agent? It doesn`t specify on the bottle. Is this a twice a year kind of product, or a between every layer kind of product?



I noticed the 601 smells a lot like the old Zaino Z1 (although it`s white whereas the Z1 was tan) and the 105 smells similar to Z5Pro.

Bottom line Duragloss has great products. If its like Zaino thats great , if not thats great too.

I like 105 alone, but 601+111 is a great combo too. 111 really gives me the classic zaino look I like on some cars (very laminated type gloss).

Allot of people use 501 from the Marine line as a base coat as it is basically 105 that is heavy on the cleaners, then top it with 105 or 111. The current accepted practice (endorsed by Jerry at DG) is to mix 1 part 601 with 4 parts of any of the sealants (501,101,105 or 111)--allows you to add the second coat in a couple of hours--you add the 601 for each coat. Aquawax looks great over any of the sealants. I`ve found a coat of 601/105 with an occasional coat of Aquawax gives me a good 5-6 months but recently I added a coat of 3D POXY over the 105 -- looks fantastic--much richer, wetter look and it sheds dirt like crazy.
