    First post

    I have been detailing my rides for a while now, and got more into it about 10 years ago. I learned some of the basics back then from Junkman's videos on YouTube. The rest of the time has been trial and error with different products.

    I find myself coming here more often as Tapatalk for Android makes reading through forums much easier. Yesterday, I tried out Wolfgang WG-5500 deep gloss paint sealant, that was recommended by a bunch of people here. I've got to say it looks great, I did my second coat today on my Durango.

    I don't claim I'm an expert by any means, and know there is always something to learn. I do pride myself in my vehicles cleanliness, and spend more time than I would like to admit making them look that way. Probably have ADD for cars/trucks LOL!

    Sorry for the long post, it got big before I knew it! Just wanted to say hi! First post

    Here is a picture of my current rides, an 18' Dodge Charger Daytona 392, and an 18' Dodge Durango R/T.

    Thanks guys!

    I have been using Adam's Polishes lineup, to include the paint sealant from them. Just wasn't impressed with it, and to be honest, I haven't been happy with most of their products. While everything looks nice and clean, I don't feel it's adding any gloss and the protection doesn't last longer than the first rain or two. I also learned their polishing pads are junk, as I tried Chemical Guys out for the first time yesterday for my finishing polish. It was a night and day difference, maybe it's not the best pad out there, but at least it didn't fall apart.

    So thanks to a thread I was reading on here, I tried out the Wolfgang paint sealant. Looks great by the way! I got back on later to see what would be a good maintenance regiment to maintain it, and possibly extend its properties. Someone mentioned they did two coats, so I figured why not and did a second coat today. Also, it was mentioned they used Wolfgang's Instant Detailing Spritz, and Deep Gloss Spritz Sealant, which can help maintain the sealant I used. So I am looking at ordering that in the next week here.

    So I guess this wasn't a question and more of what I did LOL! I kind of hinted to it in my first post, but I am a huge fan of detailing. I find using this app is so handy, as I also use it for my Durango and Charger forums. I'm sure I'll be around more often here thanks to that.

    Anyway, thanks again for the welcome!
