Ive been saying this for a while now. 111 rocks!!!! I have both 111 and 105 and like the 111 much more. The ease of use is like nothing Ive ever used, and it seems very durable to me. 105 has hardly any pop at all, it smells awesome though. :cool:



My favorite combo is 111 topped with FK Pink Wax. Looks awesome.

You aren't kidding about the smell of DG105. I LOVE the smell of that stuff. Maybe I'll keep it to use on wheels and stuff that way I can still smell it if I switch to 111.

Well Photographically speaking... the hour right after sunrise and the hour right before sunset are the best hours to take pictures, especially of reflective things like cars. The lighting couldn't have been better in the first shot. So even with imperfect lighting the 111 edges out 105.



Plus it's the same car, my car. I own it, and live with and have used 105 and 111 on it the 111 is glossier, slicker, deeper, and wetter than the 105. Durability remains to be seen. These are things that than only be experienced first hand, no pictures can really capture it.



Furthermore, barring studio lighting it's always going to be different outside anyway so it's kind of a moot point. No disrespect meant in any of this BTW.

I don't think anyone has a problem with your opinion of the products, but for me it kinda bugs me when people show pictures and say, "look at my pics, you can CLEARLY see the difference between Product A and Product B." I take it that you've studied photography before so that's why it boggles me even more that you're passing off these pics as proof of your opinion when you and I both know the lighting is completely different in the 2 pics.



I'm not posting this to offend you in any way so if I have, I apologize. Your car looks awesome in both photos and I appreciate that you're giving us your honest opinion. I'm merely posting this because it seems like there are a lot of naive members that will buy, buy, buy on pictures alone and they need to realize that a photograph will be very hard to capture what is already hard to see with the naked eye. Just like you said, without being under studio lighting it's going to be hard to replicate the photos with exact conditions. You need to be able to eliminate those variables before you can prove in a photograph that it is the LSP that is causing the difference.
 
car looks awesome in both pics :D In the first pic it seems wetter and glossier but certainly looks more reflective and sharper in the 2nd pic. From the pics I prefer the first woth 105 :rolleyes:



Would you equate the finish of 105 with something like Megs #26, with a deeper nuba like glow?



been wanting to try this stuff myself but the samples I was promised never arrived, so I ended up using my other stuff for this season :( Still UPGP rocks on my cars and its getting layered with DWG...

I completely agree with you, and was thinking about posting the same thoughts eariler, but said the heck with it. IMHO, and no offence intended, but the two pictures prove absolutely nothing about the worth, merits, or "ownage" of one product over another. I'm glad you prefer one or the other, and that's fine, but I can get the same mirror look (with the right lighting and angle) on my red car with 105 as you have shown using 111 on black.



While I like 111, it certainly doesn't "own" 105. Certainly not in the durability dept (where it counts with me), and not in looks either (subjective I know, but that's "my" opinion). Both products are fine, and I'm glad people are using them and liking them, but IMHO they all rock to a relative degree and there is no need to compete within its own product line for superiority contests...



Regards,



Mike

DG105 looks nothing (seriously 0) like M26 in my opinion. M26 is my go to wax on my black car and it is both wetter and deeper than DG105.



The best way I can describe DG105 is "Clean". It's not super reflective, super wet, super deep, or anything else, it just gives a nice "clean" clear look to it. I really think it boils down to 105 not really altering the looks that much compared to pre-lsp. Basically whatever the finish looks like after your last polishing step is what it will look like period.



With M26 you'll notice a big difference (on blacks at least) after it's applied as it gets noticable deeper/darker.
 
I had 101 or 501 as a base coat for 105. It works well for me. One thing for sure, I love the durability from 105. Not much concern about the looks.
 
Yeah 105 looks nothing like #26, #26 is very deep and wet but not much reflection. It's not a look I go for.



As for the photos...



Making a claim that one LSP looks better than other with out SOME kind of evidence (flawed if it may be) is pretty pointless. Hell the whole thing might be pretty pointless, I just wanted to share that In My Humble Opinion DG111 is serving me better in the looks dept (where it counts this time of year, for me) than DG105.



Just sharing info, not trying to convince someone to buy something, I'm just really happy with the way the car looks and I wanted to share. On that note... another pic! Why? because I took it and I like it.

I messed with the gamma and other things in this pic so it doesn't represent any product endorsement :) .
 
I have and use both. My regimen this time of year 105 topped w/ 111 :cool: Both are so d*mn easy to apply that I don't mind layering. I use 105 to remove decaying 111 about every 6 or 8 weeks or so then reapply 111. From fall forward is straight 105. Works for me.

First of all, that Golf looks fantastic in both pictures! Are those A6 S-Line wheels? Stunning!

Thanks!



They are A8 wheels. I think they were just options, some say Euro spec but I've seen a few around with them in Ohio so I doubt they were euro only.
