    Most durable SOWO product?

    Going to be doing a good deed and maintaining a neighbors new car. They aren’t picky but I want it to look good with a reasonable time investment. Thinking a polish here and there and a spray on wipe off product. What’s the choice here? Something ceramic might be great based on their minimal upkeep.

    thanks!

    Maybe one of the easy to get ahold of products like Meguiar's or Turtle Wax??

    Doing the same this year for my neighbor's. They both got nee cars.

    I'm probably going to lay down a coat of Duragloss 111 and boost it with Aquawax.

    I'm considering Duragloss 111 too for a new car. My only question, what happens if you accidentally get Duragloss 111 on black plastic trim? Will it stain black trim?

    If there is a chance of staining the trim, I was thinking of first applying a ceramic trim protectant and then applying DG 111.

    Any thoughts or recommendations?

    Thank you,
    Joe

    Do you guys use the 4:1 mix of 111 with the 601 bonding agent?

    Do you use the Aquawax on a wet surface as a drying aid?

    Griot's Ceramic 3-in1 should last a few months at a time.

    Dan's DG 111 and AquaWax idea is a great one.

    Haven’t used many after going to coatings but Griots 3n1 has been good for me

    I've used Aquawax both ways. It's still a great product in my opinion.

    Not a problem at all in my experience.

    Even on some old, crusty trim it didn't leave any evidence of being accidently applied to it. I've used Aquawax to protect trim pieces.

    101 might be a good choice if the paint needs any light polish work. It actually has functional light abrasives in the formula, and I believe a similar protection package as 111. I've never had issues with 101 staining trim either.

    Much of the reason I like 3D polishes, is because I never have to tape off trim pieces - so far! Gotta knock on wood. Good thing I'm a drummer!
