2011 Sierra: The Power of DG 501

[richy]

Fantastic turnaround, I'm sure your customer was thrilled.

Thanks a bunch. Yes he was, especially the way the paint touch ups turned out.

That fella received way more than he paid for, that's for sure. Very nicely done. I could do without most of the products I've accumulated over the years but #501, #105, and Aquawax would be keepers without question.
By the way, lovely home there sir.

Thank you on both accounts. I will never be without DG and buy it by the gallon.

Nice work for sure. Pretty truck.

Thanks bud!

Very nice turnaround Richy! So you feel 501 provides more pop than 671 swirl mark remover? I agree 100%. I have to admit though, the tires look perfect and you honestly just sold me on buying a spray gun. Thanks for a great write up!

Thanks Richard. The swirl remover easily knocked out that scuff at the rear of the cab, but when I did it side by side with the 501, the 501 won out. I was actually planning on using the swirl and not 501 until I tried it. Glad I did, LOL.
You will love the spray gun method. Chris from Optimum was talking that up a long time ago and I just never got around to trying it. I'm glad I did. The other interesting thing will be to see which method uses more product. I had to cut it 50% to get it to spray well, which makes the product last longer too obviously.

Looks great!!! Jst did my friends cummins with 501 and a white lc flat g110v2 and the silver looked great! I have to get mineral spirits tho, cuz that stuff doesnt come out of pads easy!

Thanks, and I definitely hear you on cleaning it out of the pads...that's how you know how strong the sealant element is in it!! That's also why I used an LCC pad and not one of my good B & S pads for it, LOL.

Great work!

Thank you.

Richy,

When I first started to look at the photos I thought; Not too bad... When i got further down I could decide what was worse, the exterior or interior!

I imagine this one was a lot of work but it did come out great! When the customer came to pick it up they probably were looking for a different truck....

Gorgeous work Richy!

Thanks Bobby! To be honest, I felt kinda cheated b/c I didn't get to see his reaction which is something that I find really rewarding.

Richy - does 501 by itself have enough paint protection that you didn't worry to top it with anything like 105 or even 845?

[WRXINXS]

Is the 501 capable of removing an swirls by itself?

[VISITOR]

rich.. with 501, do you work in and let dry to a haze, or wipe off immediately? nice job...

Excellent work Richy! those reflection shots you took of the paint look FLAWLESS to say the least. Keep it up, I'm always reading your tips!

Wow, very impressive. How much cut would you say that DG501 has? Comparable maybe to Meg 205?

Another cool thing about 501 is that you can apply it to the whole vehicle in the sun, and then go around and remove it no problem

Helluva job ! I'm looking to invest in a quality AIO. How would say it compares to Klasse?
