Review
Let me say this before I start crying about this paste wax. All Duragloss products I’ve tried has been outstanding, they have some of the best product out there IMO. But this paste wax, I’m very disappointed. I thought paste was paste, it was not, it’s a liquid. Maybe I received a bad batch or all 104 is a liquid. For me this stuff sucks. I applied one panel at a time, let haze and tried to wipe off with my cobra indigo MM. It was like putting on the brakes. Sprayed some 951, help some, but it was still ruff. So I tried different MM, and my Poorboys MM and cobra deluxe MM work best. I thought about pulling out my belt sander to take it off. Other then that, the paint had a nice gloss to it.
Commits always welcome.

Being more of a sealant guy I seldom wax but I can't help but wonder if that is the norm for DG104 or if it's an "off" batch?
The truck looks very nice regardless.

Wow, I know on another forum people had used it and I could swear when they posted pics its was hard like paste, though if I recall the wax seems to be the one product that doesn't get good reviews, basically everything else in the line rocks!

I wonder if its supposed to be liquid or hard?

I saw something on another forum and they also got a liquid filled jar of paste. Seems like Duragloss needs to do a little more homework on paste waxes.

I have the same wax, and it's liquid, not paste. Haven't used it yet, but thanks for the heads up. I wil try buffing it off with E2K white pad and PC.

Is it supposed to be like a liquid wax or sealant but placed in a paste container? Considering how good their other products are, I'd love to see them come up with a real, nice paste wax.

If thats paste, I'd hate to see their liquid. Put it in a spray bottle and use it as a QD. Use that with a PC and it would be everywhere.
