DuraGloss #111 clearcoat polish....thoughts

[rwright]

Combos and what each product does. Seems a lot of people have different thoughts. also I thought the 105 was like a AI1?

To put it simply:

DG 105 is a sealant with cleaners and not considered an all in one, gives more of a traditional "wax" look but is still very glossy

DG 111 is a sealant without cleaners, gives a very glossy "plastic" type look

DG 501 is a sealant with heavy cleaners and nano abrasives (according to Jerry@Duragloss), considered an all in one, will remove existing protection, very durable

DG 601 is used to extend durability of 105, 111, 501, has very light cleaners. Mix it with 105, 111, or 501 at a 1:4 ratio to save time. 1 part 601 : 4 parts 105 or 111 or 501. This product flash cures the polymers so that you don't have to wait 12 hours to layer.

DG 671 Swirl Mark Remover is a potent all in one, more cut than DG 501, very durable

DG 652 is a paint work cleanser with abrasives capable of removing water spots and light oxidation and some scratches, contains no protection


Does this help?

Just pulled this from the Duragloss website regarding DG 105 Total Performance Polish:

"One Step Wax - Recommended for all vehicles. Contains additional cleaning properties to remove mild oxidation and light surface scratches."

It looks like they are considering this to be an all in one.

Excellent post. This should be a sticky.

I just used 111 on my hood to test it. I only left it on long enough to flash off. It left a hazy look that after using a QD to help remove, still didn't seem 100% clean. Did I not wait long enough to remove? Or is there some other problem. Paint is black with very soft clear coat.

[HotRodJoe]

Both 111 and 501 leave my black milky / hazy. This bums me out because I like the DG line of products. I must be doing something wrong? I understand the 501 may be a little too aggressive for my soft clear on black, but I really don't understand the 111 issue...the 501 seemed to wipe cleaner, but had some marring. the 111 just stayed cloudy so I cleaned it with pbbh and then at least it looked black again.

How did you prep the surface before applying the sealant?

[rwright]

Sometimes 111 is a little tough to remove completely, usually from humidity. As for 501, I haven't experienced the hazy look so I really can't offer a suggestion other than spritz the surface with Fast Clean & Shine or Aquawax. What are you using to apply the products? What kind of paint are you having issues with?

I have on occasion had the same issue with 105--it is usually do to high humidity and applying it too thick. A thin coat and a hour or more to let it haze usually solves the problem--if not, as richy mentioned give it a spritz of AquaWax or FC&S which should clear it up.

Its gotta be from applying too thick, I've been layering #111 when its pretty humid and leave it on for an hour or so now and even then, comes off VERY easy.

Speaking of applying #111 I'm going to try something...apply it to my car once the sun goes down a bit more and leave it on overnight and then remove it in the morning, what do you guys think? Btw, I'm outside 24/7
