Duragloss vs BFWD Sealants

[silvermesa]

Those that have used both of these sealants please feel free to comment on your thoughts?

I am specifically considering this for white vehicles. I have a plain white GM truck and also want to detail my Mom's 2012 Toyota car that has a pearl white color. I understand that the duragloss is more durable. Interested in slickness and other values that relate to the whole process such as beading ( ease of blowing water off with master blaster), gloss and products to touch up with between washes such as spray sealants.

I have BFWD on my truck currently and am topping with BFWD Polyspray. I like the slickness of BFWD Sealant the most of all it's qualities but unfortunately after 3-4 weeks the slickness leaves. I applied polyspray after a wash and get about 75% of the original slickness back. I could not see any change in looks when I applied BFWD to my trucks finish or after applying polyspray. This truck had the tar removed and iron x treatment plus had a 3 step process of M105, M205 and PO85rd so the paint is in good shape now.

Always looking for the ultimate for white. Hoping for more gloss and snap out of Duragloss while being slick?

Regarding Duragloss, if you have recently polished the vehicle then you shouldn't need to deep with DG 501. However, I wouldn't hesitate to use it as a base for DG 105 or 111. The key will be using the Polish Bonding Agent #601 to accelerate the cure time. Blackfire has a built in bonding agent called Polycharger, at least it used to have, that allows for the fast layering. You can use DG 601 two ways: apply it to the paint and allow it to haze, then add 105 or 111 directly over top and allow it to haze, then remove both at the same time, or you can mix it in a 4:1 ratio with DG 105 or 111. I personally use a tottle (upside down bottle) found at Walmart and pour in 1/2 ounce of DG 601 then 2 ounces of DG 501 or 105 depending on the step I'm on.

For maintenance you can perform traditional washes with DG 901 Car Wash Concentrate or DG 931 Rinseless Wash w/ Aquawax. Use DG Fast Clean & Shine after each wash and DG Aquawax monthly for added gloss, slickness, and protection. Hope this helps. :)
