My daily driver is a 2008 Dodge Caliber in Surf Blue, I really love the color, it hides dirt to a point but I do love keeping it clean. I never really had a chance to detail her last year, but this year I vowed to do it, and after being pointed to the Wolfgang line of products, I'm definitely impressed.
To get rid of some slight swirl marks and bring out the shine of the color of my car since it has a hint of metallic background to it, I decided to use DGPS 3.0 (http://www.autogeek.net/wg5500.html).
The car had been washed a week prior to get rid of the pollen, being from Jersey, and it not raining for over a week, it was in some rough shape since it's not garaged. I received DGPS 3.0 yesterday and today I went to work.
I use one bucket with two grit guards from AG and the Cobra Bone sponge. My wash of choice is Armor All Ultra Shine wash and wax, but that's just my preference. It was washed thoroughly, dried with microfiber and let to sit for a while in the shade.
I used a microfiber applicator and applied to the whole car, with the exception of the roof. This product goes on incredibly smooth, and a little goes a long way. This was quite impressive given the cost. I'm resting easier now that I know this bottle will last me well through next year! Although if I use it on my other car (2008 Cadilac DTS) who knows what will happen! :)
After applying it I let it sit like most people had recommended. I get nervous when I'm told to let a wax or sealer sit for longer than 20 minutes because I know I'm going to have to put in a ton of elbow grease. This was definitely not the case!! This product buffed off with the greatest of ease. I removed it using a microfiber towel and was done surprisingly fast; of course, then I did the roof! No problems there either.
In my opinion it's definitely worth the money, and for a mid-size car like mine it will last you a while. Contrary to some posts, I had no problems with consistency or separation and come to think of it, never shook the bottle mid application! Go figure! I've recommended this product to another Caliber owner that has the same color, and a few people I know that have black. If they're like me they will be greatly impressed.
For those of you wondering what I'm going to do to keep it dry in order for it to cure since I leave it outside....that's a secret! ;) Actually, it will be in someone else's garage for the duration. :)
Pictures do NOT do this product justice! However, I've included a few here, and let me tell you, this stuff is slick (literally, it's smooth as...well, never really ran into anything this smooth before!!). If I can, I'll update this post later on after it rains to see how it holds up.
