Duragloss Aquawax...

loving the AW here too, but I was wondering if anyone has tried putting a carnuaba wax (either Natty's blue, collinite, or s100) AFTER several layers of AW. My current combo, which looks amazing, is:



AIO, RMG, Natty's Blue, AWx2 (the layers of AW were spaced a week apart)



If I wanted to add more natty's, do you think I should start over from the AIO, or would I be safe going over the 2 layers of AW?



Thanks,



Pete
 
I think using AIO again is unnecessary. Just apply the NB wax over the existing AW. Later you can add more AW, if you so choose.
 
AW is a great product. Very shiny and slick. But I like FK1's FX-100 a little better. I think Fx-100 adds a little more depth and a little less reflectivity to the finish. IMHO I know I will ruffle some feathers for sure. But cost wise AW wins.....ZOOM-ZOOM

One thing I've noticed about Duragloss Aquawax is that it gets slicker overnight. I used it on my black Camaro ontop of Zaino and it seemed to be better the next day.

It cures over time. After applying it on my camry, 2 days later it seemed way smoother than at first, and had mega flake pop. I love the stuff.
 
Yesterday, I washed my car using a foamgun with the Duragloss wash. I found the wash to be very "sudsy"........I liked that. I then blew it almost dry, sprayed on AW (I liked the smell!),and wiped/dried with a microfiber towel. The AW was very easy to use, and left no "streaking." Did a final buff with a separate towel, and it left my car with a SMOOTH finish and a really deep glossy shine! :wavey
 
Hmmm, I guess different preferences for different people. I like the AW smell, find it rather tropical/fruity, and certainly nowhere near offensive. The wash is also a yummy cherry and the new 105 polish is a grape scent. I have certainly used much worse smelling products!
 
I talked our detailer into trying 601-105 on the bosses black Mersedes, wow dripping wet. I left my bottles with him so he could use it on his own car. I think we have another convert. Next week I have a car to detail myself, a black Ford Escape, I plan on using 601-105.
 
other than the horrible smell, this offers a nice shine and slick surface but isn't any better than the fx spray i've been using. not bad for $5.99 though...
 
I love Duragloss, here's a pic of my Vette with Aquawax topping NXT. I don't have many sunlight pics because I work odd hours.

Right after wash.

This spring I'm going to do it up with 601, then 105.

Looking good! :bow The 601/105 will look stellar as well, but last significantly longer (and protect better) than NXT. Top with AW, and you are good to go!
 
I finally jumped on the bandwagon and ordered some Aquawax. Tried it this weekend on my graphite pearl Accord.



Procedure was ONR wash, then Aquawax. The application was on top of 6 week old 476S.



I have to say, I think that the Aquawax is definately my new favorite detailing product. It is as easy to use as any QD, and the looks are outstanding. Less than 10 minutes to do the cars, it can easily be used after every wash. Looks very similar to Megs #16 on this particular paint color (good depth and shine).



My only question is, do they sell it in 55 gallon drums?
