Duragloss 601 Combining

I've had a few large vehicles to do lately and did not want to take the time to do both 601 and 105 so I spoke to Jerry at Duragloss and he suggested I combine the 2 in a 4 to 1 ratio of either 501 or 105 at 4 parts and 601 at one part. I bought a couple of cheap dollar store plastic ketchup dispensers and mixed 2 bottles up...one with 601/501 and one with 601/105. It worked like a champ. The only downside Jerry said is that the shelf life would be very short; measured in hours. I found that after 2 days it was maybe a bit thicker, but still working very well. This saves one step for each product (501 and 105) and saves time. In addition, you are still getting the benefit of the 601...flash cures, longer durability. I wanted to share this info as I know there are a lot of DG fans here on DB. Just mix up small batches and you'll be good to go.

 

Thanks for the info Richy, I will test this combo this week. I always skip 601 because I am a little lazy.
But I always though 501 dries pretty fast by itself?

 

Dom...the drying time will not be affected. The advantage of combining the 601 for me is that I can layer it with Colli 845.

 

richy,
when u say layer it with Colly 845, how u mean exactly?
Do the 601/105 mixture first, then follow with Colly 845? Immediately or some curing time first. I usually leave the DG combo to cure overnite. Then follow-up with whatever wax.

Oh Richy, nice sharing.

Did you apply the the mixes on whole car and buff off later? or did you do it panel by panel?

 

I like to combine the DG twins (501/105) with Collinite 845 for a triple protection system that uses both wax and sealant. When doing cars for others, I don't have hte luxury of time so I follow up hte collinite immediately after the 601/105 combo.

You're welcome! I usually do a few panels at a time...I like to see the progress I make, plus when I've created a lot of compound dust, it cleans off easier with ONR if the protection is complete on the finished panels.
