I'm thinking based on what I've read here and from Duragloss, I'm going to do the alcy-water strip, 101, then 105. I found out last night that the Collinite 845 can be problematic in temperatures...

What's the harm in a Plan 'B'? The durability of a product depends on several factors: condition of paint, climate, environment, type of contaminants, duration of contact of contaminants, user error...

My theory with applying Collinite over DG105 is durability. For the winter months, I'm not *as* concerned with looks as I am protection from contaminants. Therefore, I assume the IW would act...

Is the Collinite 845 nauba based?

So, it sounds like 101 will work and there is no cure time before the 105?

Does anyone know how well 105 goes over 101? In other words if I just did the alcy-water strip then 101 then 105, is...

Hey, I've been looking around for the answer but haven't been satisfied with what I've found.

I realize now I made a mistake some time ago when I ordered my Duragloss 101 & 105, as I should have...

Anyone know if the new Glass Science washer additive solvent based? Anyone tried it?

I like the SurfCity and PB Bold n' Bright.

I've used the DP & Wolfgang, and while both look good (Wolfgang looks better IMHO), both are greasy and made handling the tires during maintenance...

Fair enough. Will do.

Thanks for the help. I'll be picking up some Menz and some glaze (just in case), and I'll be digging around the garage from some old tennis balls to throw in the dryer with the clothes.

Thanks...

Well, I went with the new UPP 1-coat and Liquid Souveran 1-coat. I'll be maintaining with LSS every two-weeks, I think. We'll see at the first few washings. Right now the car is laid up on jack...

How long does the UPPS take to cure?



I used the AW on top of the Klasse twins and XMT180 for my winter detail this past year, and was amazed at how much the AW put back in the depth of the car...

I'm finally getting around to doing the summer detail on my car and I've decided to use the Pinnacle Twins (Swirl Remover & Finishing Polish) and 4* UPP w/Polycharger.

I'm already done with that...

Welcome. . . Where from in Jersey?

bump. . . i was wondering this also

Thanks again!

Thanks for that and your previous post about using touch to gauge the protection.

I've been using 360 & Klasse for sealants and Klasse definitely lasts longer, but I liked the look of 360 better. ...

Excellent post! This is where I was going, and the info about AW is most appreciated as well. Can I ask what you are using the 360 for beside wheels? Do you use sealants, and if so which do you...

I assume not. That is also why I assume judgment on beading performance is not very accurate.

But what other measure(s) do we have to gauge the protection still on the vehicle?

And if we...

Thanks for the reply killr.

I usually judge the protection based on beading. In this case, there was exactly one week between application and maintenance wash and the beading during the washing...

Typically, how long does XMT360 last? Not on the shelf, on the vehicle how long does the protection last?

Just to clarify a bit - the interior stuff usually takes us about 4 hours in the cars. The exceptions are the minivan and the Yukon XL. They take about 8 hours to clean, due to the large interior...

Which paint cleansers are recommended?

By extractor, do you mean like a Bissell deep carpet cleaner? We have one but the one time we used it on a car it took longer than vacuuming and after a day we had a funny smell. This is after...

Having helped you this weekend, I don't think you've explained the problem adequately.

On your aluminum wheels you have black spots that are not coming out. We've tried clay bar, DP Gel Wheel...
