What is the durability like with DG AquaWax? I've been using OCW on top of ZCS as a booster with about 2-3 months before it starts to loose it's slickness and was thinking of giving AW a try.
 
I think that OCW has the upper hand in durability. Not by much but by a little. I've yet to use the new forumla OCW so maybe that margin is even larger now. However I'm an AW user anyhow as I find it much easier to work with.
 
What are you putting it on top of ?



Does anyone have any bonding or bad experience put it on top of a LSP ?



I think DG AW is great stuff as well as the rest of their line .

Currently using a coat of ZAIO and a coat of ZCS then after 24hours add a coat of OCW and then additional quotes until my next full detail (have to get through winter). Once the ZAIO and ZCS are gone plan to switch to Optimum PoliSeal and OptiSeal.
 
I've gotten close to two months of durability from AW. It was still going strong when I decided to strip it and go with something else. AW's good stuff.
 
I've got both. I am not sure what lasts longer, but I have a sneaking suspicision that OCWv2 and DGAW are close and OCW might last a tad longer. Many people on this board will say DGAW lasts longer.



However, DGAW is easier to apply, never streaks, and costs a lot less. DGAW is about 8-9 bucks for a 22oz bottle, OCW is $15 + S&H for 17oz. However, OCW smells a heck of a lot better.



If you go by the gallon, overall cost per volume starts to even out with OCW being about 25% more expensive.
 
I agree that AW is easier to apply. I think that OCW lasts a bit longer, but both products are easy and quick enough to apply once a week.
 
AW is awesome stuff. I don't really know how long it lasts though because I apply it almost every wash.



I'm an AW addict. I no longer feel my wash is complete without it :chuckle: Part of this reason is because it is so terribly simple to use, works great on the windows, and I love the slickness of the paint after it's applied.
 
Aw is so cool it is scary. You can seal a car in minutes and the surface gets slicker overnight. Considering that, a 1-2 month durability is not bad at all. I top every wax or sealant on my cars with Aquawax. Like twitch said, just do it every time you wash.
 
great on paint, rims and my absolute favorite on windows. never streaks and leaves the glass smooth and slick...on windows aw is highly underrated.



just a light spritz on a waffle weave towel or even a garden variety mf works great.
 
Being a meguiars fanboy, I have to say I wish the ultimate detailer was as good as AW. AW beats it in looks and slickness. I get about a month out of it.
 
I like AW alot, used a gallon of it. Then I tried the new OCW and like it even better. Seems more durable also.
 
Thanks for the input!! I'll give it a try. Can't beat the price and low shipping charges and it sounds like it is close to OCW in durability.
 
What's OCW?



I love AquaWax. Best product I've used so far, both as a "wet" product when drying, and even better as a quick detailer once the surface is dry.

Like it was mentioned, this stuff is fantastic on glass. The dark factory tinted windows on SUVs, vans, etc. shine like a mirror when this product is applied to them!

I also like how slick it makes the surface. Using it on top of DG #105 (or #111) is like putting the icing on the cake. It takes nothing to apply to the whole vehicle, and the results are definitely worth it.

I've even tried it on the unpainted textured bumpers and side cladding on my Jeep, and it works wonderfully there too. I wasn't expecting much on these areas, but I was really impressed with the end results.
