The OFFICIAL Duragloss Enviroshild review thread, everyone!

[Klasse Act]

Klasse Act: When you say "buff off the high spots" what do you mean by BUFF? With a DA? By hand with a MF? do you know what that entails exactly?

Or anybody?

I just used a plush gray Cobra mf towel with some made up QD and wiped it away by hand, no problem.

I presume this was wiped lightly after application? Is there a 'flash' time?1

Not sure about actual flash time but Bill said to wait 24 hrs to add a 2nd coat. Now if I had to guess I'd wait a couple hours, if possible, till I would pull the car out and about to help with curing but if your outside I'd say an hour. I'll ask Bill about this or maybe someone already knows.

I'll take some beading shots but for those of us that are into DG, well, we don't need those types of shots to be sold on the product IMO. That said, I'm sure someone will come in with those sooner or later but like I said before, using a rinseless wash is even easier now, leaves the paint Grace Slick!

Thank you for the review! I am a newbie and am learning to appreciate Duragloss products for their price, performance and the ease with which I can get them at my local CarQuest. The Enviroshield Ceramic Coating is very intriguing! I would love to hear a review by someone who can compare it to Opti-Coat 2.0.

Looks good and seems easy enough to use!

Any chance of some beading/sheeting videos with a hose or pressure washer?

+1 would be cool to see its sheeting and beading properties. the real test imo is durability, but i have a feeling it will amaze just like the other dg products. subscribed for updates!

What I mean is did you apply this to a panel then go back with
a MF and lightly wipe down a few moments/minute later?

Actually I wiped down the high spots the next day as I had natrual sunlight to see better and it still wiped down w/o a problem. The same theory applies here, less is more and temps weren't on my side but no matter, the nigh spots wiped right down. You could also do a wash 24 hrs later as well to even everything out if you wanna make sure completly.

Are you saying that everything flashed and began to cure except for the high spots?

Were the high spots still wet the following day?

Not totally sure what you're saying here. I mean, I hear what you're saying...but not sure I fully understand.

Were the high spots just a smudge mark that simply wiped clear the next day?

Once the high spots were wiped away the following day, was there any blemish left behind when looked at carefully at different angles?

[Klasse Act]

Sure, no problem. The high spots were more of the "smudge" variety, similar to when you dry a car w/ a towel that's too damp and leaves behind that streak. To ease the process here I did spritz the mf towel to wipe them out, hope this "clears things up", LOL.

Btw I saw nothing but a clear and clean finish after wiping and also the spot was dry as well.
