I maintain two black daily drivers and still love the deep translucent look that Souveran gives. Doesn't last very long but looks awesome while it does.

You need to spend your time polishing. The final looks comes from polishing. 90% polishing, 10% waxing.

Hey Richard, love 105, but never had much luck with 111. Need to dig it out and give it another chance.

I recently spoke with Bill Bailey about 111 and told him I had some application issues with it but my bottle was picked up at a local Napa. He said to buy a fresh bottle because it shouldn't be difficult to use and that he has personally seen stock 10 years old in some auto parts stores. I'm working on acquiring a relatively fresh bottle before I give up on that formula.

I have yet to try 111 yet but I recently purchased some at a local car quest and as I was researching application of it I realized that the packaging was different than online. I contacted dg and they confirmed that I had purchased old product and they kindly sent me the current product.

Work the Griot's final polish longer with a finishing pad and use the DG 105 as your LSP.

When I want to make my cars drip. I wash with CG Citrus high dilution to strip old wax etc. Clay. Compound, Glaze, seal. This is my multi step long process. For shorter AIO takes place of glaze compound and seal. But I do top my AIO with Souveran. I have done my personal cars the oposite. I was messing around and trying different things, and Souverend then coly 845 after day or so and it looked great. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.
