Take a look at the pads below used on a 2011 Audi A4:

This shows a new pad next to a pad used on 1/2 of the car, the little bit of green is DG 501

This is after the whole car

Keep in mind that no trim was bumped anywhere. The car received a round of Iron X then a pre-soak of Optimum Power Clean @ 3:1, followed by a 4oz/3gal bath of CG CWG, finally being clayed before using DG #501 to deep clean the paint.

Does 501 contain any abrasives?

Yes. They are nano diminishing abrasives. Duragloss has been using nano products before nano became the "it" word. :) I worked at speed 3.5 and only the weight of the machine using my Griot's Garage ROP with no intention of correction, just deep cleaning the paint before DG 601/105 x2 for winter prep.

*By products I mean the items used in their polishes

How long will 501 last by itself?

Richard, you are the one using DG501as a stand alone LSP, aren't you? How much product do you apply on the pad before working a section? How big (or small) is your section? How many passes do you make per section? I only used it once. It really cleans well and leaves a slick surface, but I can adjust on my methods next time that I am throwing these questions. :D

Duragloss has both abrasives and strong cleaners. It is my favorite AIO and it lasts a long time.

Richard,

Many here rave about the performance of Duragloss 501 and after looking at that photo I have to completely agree, the finish looks bright and wet!! :props:

I think it's time to order some of this and give it a test drive, I'm sure I'll be pleased with the results!!:props:

Thanks for posting the results and photo.....:dblthumb2:

save those 2 white pads for DG501 only, it is very hard to clean it off.

Are we talking about 501 or 105? Isn't 501 for boats?

Yeah, so? :p It's got more cleaners than the car polishes, works great. When people started using this on the forums it was because they had called DG and asked about the products and 501 came up when discussing the line and differences between the products.

Which product are you referring to when you say "501". I searched AG and came u[p with a duragloss marine product.
