    A while ago richy called me and asked if I would be interested in testing a new product from Duragloss called Enviroshield. I agreed and after one kit was lost in the mail and 4 months of below zero temps we finally got our chance. My friend Chad brought out his wife's new Ford Edge. After our winter did it ever need it.

    All jambs and engine cleaned with AG Powermax3
    Engine was sprayed down with AG Vinyl and Rubber Care and left to dry
    Truck was foamed with AG Powermax3 and rinsed
    Washed with PB Super Slick'n Suds
    Inner fenders cleaned with AG Powermax3
    Tires and wheels cleaned with AG Custom Wheel Cleaner
    Clayed with BH reg Clay
    Polished with Gloss-it pad/polish combo and LC CCS/Menz combo
    LSP was Duragloss Enviroshield
    Wheels sealed with Enviroshield as well
    Tires dressed with Gloss-it Tire Dressing
    All trim dressed with Gloss-it TRV dressing
    Exhaust tips sealed with Blackfire All Metal Sealant
    Leather conditioned with Duragloss Leather Conditioner

    Total time - 13 hours over two days

    I think thats the wettest I have seen white ever look, guess that answers my question to my earlier thread, hope that kit comes out sometime in the near future.

    Great job, that white pops! amazing job.

    That's impressive to say the least! How are you liking the Duragloss range? The Passat is looking fantastic as well, very nice color!

    Incredible work Ken, stunning :thumb:

    How you liking the Flex machines btw, I still would like a 3403 for all the vertical bits where the Makita becomes a little heavy!

    Everything I have used from them has impressed me so far. Like Autoglym, it just works. Its inexpensive but gets great results.

    I'll try as the truck belongs to a friend of mine.

    I haven't used my Makita since I tried the Flex. Period.

    Fast? Not really. I just don't screw around. :thumb:
