The temperature finall got into the 50+ range and I was able to clean the van up a little.
Even though it was raining, I was able to clean it up in the garage with DP 4-in-1 Rinseless Wash. I was a little dirtier than I felt comfortable using S&W on. Using my new sea sponge, it would seem I'm finally learning to use this product correctly. Very little water mess on the garage floor when I was finished. With the sea sponge, I didn't feel the need for any 4-in-1 in my rinse water. I can squeeze the sea sponge almost dry and I don't think I was diluting the wash solution enough to worry about.
Both of these products worked good for me.
I then used the Optimum Poli-Seal with the PC, a Meg's polishing pad at a speed of 5. It did a good job, but I did have to hit the hood a second time to clean it up. The van has been outside 24/7 this winter and the snow and ice was not kind to it. I think I'm going to like the Poli-Seal.
The next step was Dura Gloss #105 by hand and after removing the 105, I followed up with Dura Gloss AW.
The white was almost glowing. A guy at the gas station actually asked me if the color was white pearl.
Some Poli-Seal on the wheels and some Bold & Brite on the tires and it was fit to drive again.
The Dura Gloss looks great and seemed to hold up pretty well through the winter, but....
The slickness of UPP is far superior to anything I have ever used, including the Dura Gloss. The only thing that came close was Collinite Insulator Wax.
FWIW, I felt 4 Star treated Dwayne in such a crappy manner when they pulled the product line from him that I switched products. I sold my full bottles of UPP, UPC, and UPSS and never looked back.
Rambling ended for now.
