| | | 501/105/AW review
Per the great Al53, I tried DG 501, 105 and AW this weekend. Rinseless 4-1, clay, 501 (wait 24 hrs), 105 (wait 24 hrs) then AW. I even applied all by hand.
Excellent results, especially on metallic silver. Since 501 is similar to 105 there is no need to apply 105 2x. 501 has strong cleaners and allows the 105 to spread and wipe off easily (after sitting for 45 minutes). AW gives it the extra pop--the flakes really reflect now.
Use the 501 on all exterior windows too. Leaves the glass smoother than, well, glass...
Also wheels received the same treatment. Great combo to try for winterizing. Don't forget--a little goes a loooong way. Too much product will make it tougher to remove.
It's worth a try. You won't be disappointed.

| | | I love #105 and AW. However, I use #601 under #105, but all the same, it looks great and feels so good. Definitely a must on my Silver Jeep.

| | | This combo made my mustang look great. i did 101 + 2 coats of 105 and it made it super slick and reflective. Finish with aquawax and your good to go for 5-6 months of flawless protection |

| | | The 501 cleaning is great, just that one alone gives great result imo..
Only "bad" part is the damn curing time....but i guess its well worth it in the end..

| | | Considering that most apply a sealant about every 6 months the curing time isn't that much of a whip--although you do have to plan ahead. I'll throw on the 501 Friday afternoon, 105 Saturday and the AW Sunday. Just have to make sure it won't rain in between applications if you need to drive somewhere.
That said, I haven't tried the 601 yet. Supposedly it will cure the 105 immediately so you can top it with the LSP of your choice. Question is, I believe you still have to wait 24 hrs before applying the 601 over either 101 or 501. I'm sure Al53 or Sparkie have some thoughts.

| | | DG #105 is one of the best sealants for durability and look.
