Hey guys, I will be ordering some more stuff (this is an exspensive hobby!), and I've seen nothing but good reviews of the Duragloss line, and their flat shipping rate is amazing. Anyways, I was wondering what you would say are some "must haves" from the DG line? Also, how are the DG polishes at removing swirls compared to the M205/2105 combo? If you know of any other good sites with good products + low shipping please let me know, shipping is a killer! Main things I'm looking to buy: something to clean wheel wells thoroughly, something to clean the engine bay, and something that will help remove built up brakedust/tar. Edit: Dumb and didn't see the other thread:doh:, feel free to help out here though.
DG calls their sealants polishes like Zaino. Must haves 501 amazing cleaner/sealant, 111 really give a great wet look, 105 is a great sealant, 601 use this before 105 or 111 and it helps the sealant bond and last longer, Nu Glass is a great glass polish, Aquawax is a great spray wax, 521 is a great quick detailer
Their 751 "Rain Repel" glass cleaner is excellent. Like Rain-X and glass cleaner all in one bottle, with minimal buffing required. I find it hazes a little in super hot weather, but nothing a quick pass with a dry MF won't fix. Much easier to use than Rain-X, and much more effective.
Here is my shopping cart right now...Would anyone reccomend anything else from DG while i'm at it? Trying to buy everything at once and in bulk, this hobby is getting exspensive! #111, Duragloss CCP (Clear Coat Polish) #951, Duragloss AW (Aquawax) #203, Duragloss UD (Vinyl & Leather Dressing) #821, Duragloss AWC (All Wheel Cleaner) #420, Duragloss HD Cleaner & Degreaser #401, Duragloss APC (All Purpose Cleaner) #901, Duragloss CWC (Car Wash Concentrate) #471, Duragloss BR (Bug Remover) #601, Duragloss PBA (Polish Bonding Agent) #521, Duragloss Marine / RV Detail Spray #751, Duragloss RR (Rain Repel) While i'm at it, does anyone happen to know a DG promotion code. can't seem to find one:shead:. Edit: Has anyone tried buying clay off eBay? Seems weird, but it's just so cheap. IE: http://cgi.ebay.com/Car-Clay-Bar-18...trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:1171|293:1|294:50
Ooops 911Fanatic!! Sorry Ken!! DG Products I like 101 polish 901 Shampoo 105 TPP 261 Tire Gloss 921 Fast Clean and Shine 521 Marine/RV QD Spray
I would skip the 111 and get 105 instead and don't forget to get some 501. I haven't found a better pre-wax cleaner than 501 plus you can use it by itself and get a good 3 months protection from it. I also love the 921 Fast Clean and Shine too.
I love DG stuff but personally if you want a good, cost effective APC, go to Home Depot and buy the Zep citrus or the purple degreaser...very effective, very reasonable. Also, Zep glass cleaner comes in a gallon like the other 2 and can be cut 32:1 (that is not a typo). As for wheels, their All wheel cleaner is good but not excellent. What I mean by that is if you have caked on, very hard to remove brake dust, use Megs Wheel Brightener. Once you have used it the AWC by DG is great for maintenance and for jobs that are not too demanding. You can trade someone for some WB too..that's how I first tried it. (Got mine from JL). The rest of your order looks good..if you want to shave it a bit, for now, I would suggest: 501 601 105 or 111 (never tried 111) AW. Start with those and the AWC and you'll be golden. Get the AWC by the gallon..makes more sense financially and shipping from DG is a flat $5. The bug remover is good on bugs but not so good on tar, IMO.
I prefer the wet look 111 gives over 105, but Track Claw has replaces both 105 and 111 for me. 501 is a must have, great on paint as a pre cleaner or stand alone, windows, wheels, chrome, painted areas under hood and trunk
I have only used 601, 105, and the quick detailing but now they are all my go-to products. I like duragloss a lot and plan on stoking up on the majority of their line.
I have to say that Duragloss is one of my favorite lines as its inexpensive and it gives great results. I would add their 681 Plastic Lens Polish as well. Their 253 Tire and Rubber Dressing is quickly becoming my go to tire stuff. Low sheen, no fling and typically covers in one application.
Sal..I have a small 4oz sample bottle of the Track Claw but haven't really used it yet. I find it interesting that you say it replaces both 105 and 111 for you. Why is that? Does it look better than both? How is its durability? I know its claim to fame is that it's slicker than eel snot.
I have always liked the look of 111 over 105, but 111 is more expensive, Track Claw has the wet look of 111, slick, more cost efficient then 111 and last atleast 2 months before I decided to try something else for the heck of it.
