    Question Duragloss 501 on clearcoat

    I have read a lot of good things about Duragloss 501. When reading the description though It says that it is for marine gelcoat. But it seems that a lot of people use it for clearcoat cars? Why wouldn't I just use 101 for my car instead of the marine 501?

    501 has more heavy cleaners in it compared to 101.

    Is is safe for clearcoat though?

    Yes, there are thousands of 501 users---it is safe and effective.

    Re: Duragloss 501 on clearcoat

    You are correct, it is a Marine/RV polish. What sets this product apart from 101, 105, etc. is the nano abrasives and the outstanding chemical cleansing power. If you're not sure about it give Jerry a call at Duragloss on Tuesday and see what his opinion is.

    after I use DG501/601 on my white yaris and after market rim, the colour is brighter. I use it on the whole car, from window to trim, all good.

    Re: Duragloss 501 on clearcoat

    Hey guys had a few quick questions. I am going to mix 601/501 in a 1:4 ratio. I am going to be using a PC and White pads. My questions are:
    1. Should I do the entire panel like a wax or a 2 x 2 area like polish?
    2. How many passes should I make
    3. Can I use this as a AIO or should I really add a sealant over top?

    Thanks,
    Drew
