Hi all, You probably remember me from a post a few weeks back where I ordered a bunch of Duragloss products. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...ve-enough.html

Well finally got some time to do an exterior detail using Duragloss. I used to be a Zaino nut till I found this site and the recommendations of many for Duragloss.

Wash Cycle:
Citrus Degreaser on the lower panels using Zep Citrus Degreaser
2 bucket method using Microfiber Mitts with DG#901 soap * Love this over Gold Class
Still had to break out some Tar and Bug stuff from OTC on some spots.
Clayed the whole truck with Magic Clay kit. Boy it amazes me how much clay still picks out of paint when to the eye it looks clean.
2 bucket method using Microfiber Mitts with DG#901 soap

Correction/Polish:
Well truck wasn't very badly swirled so I held back on using DG#652 and went to the cleaning of DG#101 using the Edge Orange 2000 pad on PC. Here are some pics before the DG#101 - Sorry pics were from my Cell Camera Phone

Another before, This of course were after the wash and clay treatment

Here is a picture of after the DG#101 using Orange Pad

Next I went on to the DG#105 with Blue Edge Pad on PC

Now for my LSP I used Collinites #845 on a Edge white pad with PC. Here are some pics -

Yes that is water on the damn hood after wiping off #845. It started to rain. Here is a shot after the passing rain.

One thing I want to add is that I spritz the microfibers used to wipe up DG#101 and DG#105 with DG#921. And after I wiped up Collinites #845 I spritz the microfiber with DG#951.

All I can say is that I am very amazed at the Duragloss line up. I still have more details to finish such as polishing out the windows using DG#755, plastic light housing using DG#681, and finally add DG#271 to the black bumpers and wheel trim. The wheels/tires were cleaned a 3 weeks ago and added DG#253 and it still beads and looks good.

I can't thank enough of you on here and of course MickeyC fellow S2000 enthusiast that pointed me to Autogeek.

Thanks All! Can't wait to detail some more of my cars.

Hi paivag. Nice man. The red look stunning. Yup the Duragloss line does get the job done pretty well. And Collinite 845, it's just another great choice. Great work.... Tq for sharing. Happy detailing.
