    #521...I'm hooked.

    After claying then using AIO back in April or May with 2 coats of SG, all I have done is washed my '06 Xterra maybe once a week (and believe me...I get my X plenty dirty).
    I've never used a DA for any polishing or correction, and am still quite new to detailing. I was using Meg's regular Quick Detailer as my QD+ partially because it's the only thing I owned like that. I decided to try #521 after PMing Sparkie a few times, and I have to say...I love it. I think Meg's QD may have gotten some junk off just slightly easier...but did not do anything for the shine or slickness I felt.
    Anyway, here are some pics after washing with Meg's GC (finally got that too after using some pink stuff by Blue Coral), and #521 after 2 days of driving around:

    Hood shot in the sunlight...no flash:


    Hood shot #2...no flash. Popping flake and slick as a snail:


    Glossy...maybe plastic like shine?


    For the flake lovers...again, no flash:


    The overall:


    Sorry...don't own Crocs.

    Looks great. How's it doing at repelling dust?

    Thanks for the compliment Mike!
    It actually seems to be repelling dust pretty well. In the morning my windshield is dusty, but my hood is not too bad at all. The pollen has calmed down quite a bit here so it is somewhat difficult to compare to Meg's QD (again, the only other QD I have ever used) in that area, but I would have to say from what I am seeing so far, it is actually repelling dust. We'll see how it does over a few more days.

    The 4 Marine products I have tested all have been very good....I used them and told Sparkie...he used them and found to same findings I did...

    My Buddy has a Granite Counter top company and he started using the 501 to clean and protect the granite after installations....

    The 521 works good ..it has a real nice gloss to it and nice and slick....it does show its anti static properties at work for me...its very dust there...and when I drive off the dust blows off...

    The Flake on your paint is really showing....looks great....
