| Can DG #105 and Aqua Wax be put on in layers??
I just used DG #105 and Aqua Wax for the first time on my the wifes 2007 Titanium Metalic Silver Camry.I had been using Zaino,...But I gotta say I like the looks of 105 and Aqua Wax Better !!  Very wet look!! I would post pic's but it is pouring rain out now .I was just wondering if any of you that have used 105 or AW have tried to layer it? I'm going to do a 2001 Millenium Yellow Corvette this weekend and going to try 105 x2 then AW. also has anyone ever topped this combo with a paste wax? I didn't mean to put the unhappy face on this post either

This is how I done my truck. The first day #105 around 11:00. The next morning around 7:00 #951, that night around 8:00 done #105. The next day #951. Talk about beautiful!
I wash with #901 about every 2 weeks, dry with Supreme Guzzler and leaf blower and use #951....... She stays looking beautiful....
The main thing is wait 24 hours between coats of #105......Do it as you see fit.
Hey, give us some pics when you can....

| Duragloss Total Performance Polish is a cleaner and polish in one that improves and protects the paint surface for an incredibly durable finish. The tough, synthetic coating stands up to harsh environmental conditions such as pollution, acid rain, intense sun, sap, and bird droppings. The durable finish protects paint for up to one year.
from the description, this would suggest otherwise. Like NXT, the second level is likely either chemically or abrasively removing/reducing the previous level. This is not a pure sealant.

Maybe it looked better because it cleaned better the second time, or had less to clean |

wow this name stuff gets confusing, so the 105 is a cleaner, polish, AND sealant? pretty much like a xmt 360 kinda deal? Man they need to start calling polishes polishes, cleaners cleaners, and all in ones... well you get my point...

The Chemist at DG said once 105 is cured another coat of 105 will not remove it ..I was also told that 3 coats is max or you may get diminishing results..meaning color muting..........the cleaner is very very mild..it is just to ensure the surface is clean of any type of fallout that a wash did not remove...98% of all sealants have a solvent carrier..a solvent is a cleaner...waxes have solvents also...so in reality if you add a wax over a sealant does it remove your sealant...101 would not layer...or 501 marine....both are strong cleaners....105 would not take off road marking paint...101 did....

Al | Any idea how long it takes to fully cure in order to add another layer?
