Ive tried the 3 Duragloss products and they seem great. Ive put the #105 on 3 cars since thanksgiving and the cars still look great and still bead very good. The Aquawax is like iceing on the cake, you can use it over , under anything, and by itself it will last 1 to 2 months. The Fast Clean n Shine is one of the best QD out there.Its like other QDs on steriods.There are a lot of great products oby Larry A - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

If it cant take a little strong soap, its not good enough.In the fall of the year , over a 6 week period I applied 1 coat of DG105,1 coat of Wolfgang Sealant , and 1 coat of Collinite 845. It is now 3 1/2 months latter .It has been to cold to wash my car myself. Since my car sits outside 24/7 I wash it twice a week . It may be soft cloth or Laser wash and today after the Laser wash it beaded likeby Larry A - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
I have to agree with you. On my car ,it will bead water , be slick , but to me it needs to be polished and waxed again. It will no longer look good to me.Another thing I find that if you just apply more and more wax without polishing or using a cleaner wax, you wont have that deep gloss. It seems to me that the more straight wax you put on , the more you have too.by Larry A - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

Hi Bud , Simonize was not a cleaner wax. It was a straight wax that needed a cleaner, which they made. A lot of people used Dupont #7 auto polish to clean the paint instead of simomize cleaner.by Larry A - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
Our detailer is expected to do a complete in 4 hours, and he does it. A lot of times he is faster. It depends on how bad it is.Somethimes he has to do show car detailing, which means waxing the undercarrage. Of course that takes much longer.by Larry A - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
I did hear that butyl in its PURE form is like DMSO. If you mix poison in it and got some on your skin it would get into your whole body.by Larry A - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
Whats wrong with Butyl. We had a carpet cleaner with a lot of butyl in it . It was fantastic, I dont care how dirty your carpets were it would clean them. One guy at work used it to degrease engines. It is no longer made and as of yet I havent found a carpet cleaner that would work as WELL.by Larry A - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
