a couple of duragloss questions......

[MoBenzOwner]

Which Duragloss combo do you guys think would be best for winter?

501/105 or
601/105 or any other combinations?

Also has anyone here used the 601 polish bonding agent with any non-duragloss polymer sealants (particularly wolfgang dgps which I already have), and if so did it enhance the durability?

Thanks a bunch in advance...........

501 is a Marine/RV polish. I always recommend using this to get a good base if your paint can use a cleaner. It works similar to Klasse AIO in that it will remove oxidation, clean the paint very well, and leave a small layer of protection.

If I had to choose either of those combos, I'd go with 501 + 105, but ideally, I would use 501 + 601 + 105. 601 is cheap, and takes a few extra minutes to apply to the entire car before using 105, so for the extra bonding and protection I think it's worth it.

thanks Matt, I will take your advice and get the 3..........

501 and 105 is all you should need... the 601 is a polish bonding agent, with the mean cleaners in 501 you really don't need a bonding agent for the 105 to properly cure...

Totally agree with you on that one but have you used 501 with a machine...

I have and was ABSOLUTELY amazed at what it pulled off my paint.. AND this was after a full 3 step polishing... I was amazed at the cleaning power of it which is why I don't see the need anylonger for 601 is I am using 501...

If you are hand applying 501 then I would agree that 601 may still be of benefit but with the machine action of 501, you have in your hands a MEAN cleaining machine!

I agree....501 is an awesome cleaner, and even more effective than Klasse AIO in my experiences. Since 601 is so cheap and the extra step is nothing, the added insurance / durability is worth it IMO.

I have not used 501 under 105, but I do find that 601 under 105 has always kept it on longer. I would definitely use 601. I'm sure using 501 and then 601 before 105 wouldn't hurt.

I very often use 501 by machine, followed by the 601/105 combo. I highly recommend it for paint finish and protection.

just placed the order for all 3( 501,601,105), also got some 4 inch spot pads.........

the 601 is a bonding agent..which insures a clean surface...BUT it also increases the hard coat of the sealant...its a catalyst..the residue act like a agent to help any DG sealant a bit more durable and a hard shell....

Now..i use it for winter coats only..since in summer I play a lot with my paint...lol..


Now...501 is more durable than you think..it will last very close to 105...its been on paint and a boat hull since May...and it still beads like mad..and water oil slicks doe not adhere to paint..still slick...this is a crazy cool product...

I have been topping 501 with track Klaw and its a cool combo...TK is maybe the slickest product i have used...even more so than 4* UPP..I have been using it on a few summer cars and it does look great....very glossy and slick....

501 topped with 105 or 111 works for me. I apply 501 with my PC and white LC pad. I have not tried 601.

I just starting using the 501 polish w/pc and white pad man a awesome polish, used on a couple white vehicle a red a couple silvers and have a patiort blue pt curiser to do on thursday and can't wait to see the results.:righton:

A lot of people are getting DG products confused...They are called polishes but in reality they are sealants....they are not a correction type product....

501 is a very durable boat sealant....will last almost as long as 105....but its a very strong cleaner also...it will deep clean paint like no other I have used...

I used 501 alone on a 2006 Honda CRV this last Nov...and it was still going strong in May...still nice and glossy and beading very well....

do not let the name polish fool you..its just a old school term DG uses just like Zaino does...they are sealants in a true form and best bang for the buck for paint protection and durability...been using DG products over 3 years now and have been completely amazed at the looks and duration of protection....Its winter proven by me...
