Duragloss is some good stuff.

I use their 901 all the time. I also use their "NuGlass" glass polish and sometimes the rain repellant.

Lots of people here use the 901 product with great success.

If your going to get Duragloss products I'd suggest ordering it direct from them or picking it up local. Most CarQuest stores carry it and you can search their web site for other stores that carry it. Ordering it directly will save you a TON of money on shipping because they charge a flat $5 I think for whatever you buy. (I'm lucky enough they are only 15 miles from my house so I can drive over whenever I want and pick stuff up.

The TPP #105 with the #601 bonding agent is fantastic. The 105 is 16 oz for about 11-12 dollars.

My favorite products are:
Rain Repel--751
Aqua wax --951
Fast Clean and Shine --921

Both the Duragloss products and Collinte are both great, and relatively inexpensive. You cannot go wrong with either.

As I understand it, #501, #105, and #111 are actually poly sealants, not waxes. Collinite #845 is said to be a hybrid, a combo of both sealants and waxes.

Which of the two do I personally like better? Collinite. For what they cost, won't be a mistake having all above that I mention on hand, I do.

As for all other duragloss products, all are excellent. Besides many of their products that I have on hand (in smaller quantities), I will from now on be keeping stock of both DG Aquawax, and their 901 Shampoo in gallons. Both are definite keepers IMO.

In my neighborhood, Car Quest stores do not all stock all of the items from Duragloss but can order them out of their warehouse. I call my local store and they bring the items in for me.

Don't waste your time with the smaller quantity, get the gallon size.....trust us all......it's that good. Besides buying in gallons is cheaper overall.

105 with the bonding agent is awesome! Aquawax is awesome. So is their soap. Most of the line is pretty great for the price!

I hate pulling out a cliché, but Collinite is definitely the bomb!

I do truly believe that with the aid of using Collinte products for so many years on my white 1997 Tahoe, that these products helped considerably to protect the paint for so many years, that the finish looks as good as a new vehicle. Of course I know how to maintain a finish.

While I have Collinite Fleetwax, 915, and 845 on hand and have used them for years, the one that was used most on my truck was #476 Super Doublecoat Wax. It is reportedly the most durable of all Collinite Waxes. #845 is no slouch though, easier to apply than #476, does last a long time, and like their Pastes, a little goes a long way.

What are your goals with the truck? Do you plan to polish the paint to remove swirls or are you just looking to add depth and protection without removing paint?

I really love the Duragloss 601 and 105.
One two punch, great combo, all at a great cost.

Based on this post without receiving additional info from my previous post:

901 Car Wash Concentrate is an excellent choice no matter how you look at it.

105 TPP - Contains cleaners to remove embedded dirt, leaves behind excellent protection without the bonding agent, provides beading and sheeting action, nice wet look added to the paint

111 CCP - Pure sealant, no cleaners, best to prep surface with bonding agent to clean paint pores and promote bonding (can use Squeaky Clean to clean paint), leaves a candy coated wet look to the paint

671 SMR - Contains abrasives and waxes to remove swirls and leave protection (think all in one), beads like you would expect a wax to do, work in small sections

652 PC-No 2 - Contains abrasives to remove oxidation, swirls, and water spots, does not contain protection so top with LSP of choice

501 Marine Polish - Contains cleaners to deep clean paint, leaves behind excellent protection, will remove minor defects on soft paint, makes metal flake pop, can be used as a base for 105 or 111, allow 12 hours cure time if not using polish bonding agent

601 PBA - Polish bonding agent cleans paint and preps/promotes faster bonding of 105/111/501, apply to paint and allow to haze before applying 105/111/501, or mix 1 part PBA to 4 parts 105 or 111 or 501 in a bottle then apply to entire paint

Use 901 Car Wash Concentrate or 931 Rinseless Wash w/ Aquawax to maintain
Top up 1-2 times monthly with 951 Aquawax in increase durability and gloss

Hope this helps a little :)

You forgot Rain Repel for the glass. Maybe my favorite DG product. (smiley face)
