Re: my collection

601/105 is a good,durable sealant, but there's just a little extra depth/shine that comes with DGPS.

QS IMO is simply an awesome, versatile product. No streaking, decent cleaning ablility for a QD, super-slick surface, and really makes any surface "pop". Use it on windows and water just beads off. Use it on wheels, and brake dust collects less. Its just a wonderful product and I have yet to find anything better (again, just my opinion)

As far as using a wax over a sealant, you'll get varying opinions. I have done sealant only, and sealant/wax, and can say that the 'nauba top does give the surface a little extra depth/glow. Plus, the wax can act as the "sacrificial barrier" to help lengthen the sealant longevity. It basically comes down to personal preference.

And while I have never tried any of the Dodo line, I will just say that if you're looking at a high-end boutique wax, its going to be very difficult to beat out Souveran, especially in the shine/cost factor. Supernatural may be a very nice wax, but I had a choice of $190 for a tub of Supernatural or $95 for a tub of Souveran, I'm grabbing the Souveran every day of the week and twice on Sunday's (or if it goes on sale lol)

Hope that helps!

Re: my collection

476s is a very durable wax. I use that specifically during winter details, and also when the customer is more concerned about longevity/durability as compared to appearance. Definitely a good start!

Re: my collection

sweet ass...so I take it this type of wax doesn't add that pop to the paint...what under 30 dollars could do that?

Re: my collection

Im actually at work and the pictures are disabled so I cant view his products/pics. In my experience, there was a huge difference between over the counter products (kmart, wallmart, autozone) and the more professional lines like wolfgang/poorboys etc. Alot of the products Ive purchased have been because of rave reviews or I have liked the results acheived on the before and after section. Some products are a little hyped, others have worked amazing (poorboys bold n brite for tires).
