Dont use Aquawax as a drying aid... It will cloud your paint...

[MrOneEyedBoh]

So I seen that someone said using DG Aquawax as a drying aid will eventually cloud your paint. Sure enough, they were right. I emailed DG today and this is what they said:

Using Aquawax once a week can caused a buildup and cause your paint to look dull after a while. If you want to use a weekly drying aid we recommend using 921, Fast Clean and Shine, which is a spray on and wipe off formula. Then you could still use Aquawax once a month without worrying about a buildup.

Thank you,
Duragloss


So with that being said, I see the 921 is where its at for a drying aid. Aquawax, once a month.

I then asked them what to do if you notice a build up. This is what they said:

If you are noticing a buildup just polish your vehicle with 105, Total Performance Polish and it should take it right off.
Thanks

Thanks for sharing this information from Duragloss HQ!

And...
Once again, it doth appear, that:
The "wax build-up from layering" Pendulum, begins to sway!

If AquaWax does not contain solvents that would remove previous applications, is it possible that layers could build up over time?

Some experts indicate that because of the solvents contained in Carnauba Waxes...they cannot be built up in layers. The function of a 2nd coat is simply to ensure complete coverage.

Good info, thx!

Good info but I wonder how many people have actually ever had this happen to them.

I know I top my car with a spray wax almost weekly (sometimes with aquawax but I use others as well), and I have never experienced any cloudiness.

Wow! Thanks for the information! I did a recent Post regarding comparing Optimum Spray Wax to Duragloss Aqua Wax. You have answered my question. Thank you!! I will stick and be happy with my OSW. I will be buying a gallon of it now.

using AW weekly is overkill and i tend to use it every other wash or so...

[MrOneEyedBoh]

They said you can mix a 50/50 ratio of their 921 and AW and use that as a drying aid.. They said there would be no build up doing a 50/50... I said okay. lol

Perhaps some of those experts haven't used:
Beauty Shine's #502 Pink Carnauba Paste Wax.

It contains only carnauba-wax:
No "lesser" waxes. No synthetics. No blends.

BTW:
It's one of only a few perfect-Waxes that's been
formulated for "spit-shining"!! ☀️
Talk about some layering-it on thick!!
