Introducing: Duragloss Squeaky Clean

[fastsvo]

It seems Duragloss has now completed the circle and provided a paintwork cleaner specifically for the purpose of preparing the paint for an LSP. Previously, they had cleaner products with sealants that were used for different and very specific purposes. This product hodgepodge was at times confusing and put off some people who wanted more direct and clear cut instructions.


501 - actually made for fiberglass boats but also works very well for cars. This product is also a strong cleaner and as such, recommended for older vehicles.

Could 501 be used as a cleaner and prep for McKee's paint coating? Does it leave any residue (fillers, etc)? How does this compare to McKee's own paint prep polish?

501 is a cleaner sealant, its in different product class as a paint prep polish. I wouldn't use the coating over a sealant and follow the manufacturers recommended steps

But if I perform an IPA wipe down wouldn't that negate any of the sealant provided by 501? Looking to get the car prepped just right before sealing it and eliminating any extra steps.

There is no guarantee IPA will remove the sealant in 501. I'd venture to say it would most likely not remove it. Why take the chance of compromising the coating--just use a product recommended by the coating manufacturer.

Well my only concern is that I have a couple spots that might require something a little bit more aggressive than the manufacturer's recommended polish/prep (Mckee's). But I hear what you're saying about using 501.

most people polish the paint before coating. As in abrasive polish. The coatings are semi permanent so its worth the extra effort to get the paint right before coating.

So what ever happened with this so called squeaky clean? It never came out?

edit: I see they have it but its not sold sepreately here.


Why, why, why, does Duragloss call their waxes "polish"? It's so annoying I refuse to buy anything from them.

It’s probably just as annoying as some seeing you call sealants - waxes.

Yes calling sealants waxes. Lol. I wish Duragloss would stop calling it polish too.

DG is foolish not to offer 8/16/32oz bottles of Squeaky Clean
