Wolfgang DGPS prep work

Back in the old days we used get the guys wife to sew together 3 or 4 diapers and make bonnets that would fit over the wool pads......

Thanks guys....

I was going nuts here with people adding in extra steps that really aren't needed... And touching the paint more than is really needed risking putting scratches back that were just removed.

I don't get it......

Must be my show car background back in the late 70's....

After compounding with a rotary, then polishing with a rotary we had to polish the cars out BY HAND then apply glaze BY HAND before waxing..... Took days sometimes weeks to finish one car......

The guy who I used to work with would likely cut off ones hands if they touched the car more than was really needed....

I don't do a hand wash. I do a final soak and rinse down with CG wash clear or DG901 in a foam cannon just to get compound, polish, and oils, off the paint and out from around trim, emblems, jambs, etc. There is NO touching! Lol!

And, then:
To remove any surfactants' residues;
and 'drying' (even avoiding "water-spotting") of the vehicle...??

Was wondering how the car is dried without touching at all too.... And without leaving any water spots, runs etc...

Since the car was already clean before the said washing from the compounding and polishing steps...

On a daily driver or production detailing I guess it would be fine......
 
Anyway, WGDGPS is awesome stuff. :xyxthumbs:

Caught some guys looking at my truck yesterday in the parking lot when I went to the store. :D

It did have some crazy reflections, especially for white...

It should be called Deep GLOW Paint Sealant.... LOL

Do you top it with anything? Have you ever used the spray also between uses?

Topped with Fuzion on my Jeep that lives in the garage....

On the truck all I use is Megs M135.....
Click to expand...

That Fuzion is a bit over my budget, is the DGPS ok to leave as the top coat, or is there something else not as expensive that will give good results, or do I just stick with the DGPS then a detail spray? Would Megs Ultimate spray wax or detailer (really because I have them) work?
 
This is just a few mins ago, the spot were it normally sits......

Yes that would be fine. :)

M135 is the UQD vers in the Mirror Glaze Line.

Can also use UQW or D156.

Or use the WG Spray Detailer and Spray vers of DGPS.

You could also top it with Megs M26 if you wanted to. :)

Due to your stated budget constraint:
-WGDGPS is a proven Top-coat (LSP)! You don't necessarily have to top-coat this Top-coat
-Use of a detail spray; and: (if deemed necessary) a spray-wax follow-up...
Will be quite sufficient in maintaining your vehicle, IMO.

I keep in mind:
The last product (LSP's, detail sprays/spray waxes) that's applied to a vehicle, in essence,
becomes the LSP... until it has had the opportunity to degenerate to the point of total dissipation.

Thorough powerwash rinse, open end hose flood rinse, and backpack blower dry to make sure ALL water is off the paint and out of the jambs, emblems, crevices, mirrors, etc. :-)

Yep. :xyxthumbs:

And don't sit anything on the car because it will slide right off, WGDGPS is really slick..... :dblthumb2:

Are you saying that a powerwash rinse removes all trace residues of surfactants?

Makes me want to try a dukes of hazard hood slide! Will NEVER happen though! Lol

I actually have a 1/4 bottle or more of that on my shelf now.

I find it's really good because it really dries clear and will amp up the shine. Good for maintenance because it goes on and comes off so easy.

And it really likes dark colored cars, and red....

It's been around for along time.....

With DGPS you really don't need to top it though, it's THAT good.
 
I just ordered the WG dpgs and some other things and was sent the dp max wax. Haven't had a chance to try it yet but I plan on using the finishing glaze then the sealant. Would it be okay or beneficial to top it with the max wax?
