The OFFICIAL Duragloss Enviroshild review thread, everyone!

That IS some fantastic service you received Tony. It's always great to see a company willing to go the extra mile to please a customer.

And I can't believe that I just noticed the spelling error in the thread title today after seeing it in my new posts at least 25 times.
 
The more I think about coatings, the more I realize they really aren't something that I want to use. Mainly because of the semi-permanent nature of them. Sooner or later it will need redone, and at that point, you pretty much have to completely remove all the old coating ( with some abrasive polish ), then do it all over. I guess I'm more the type of guy that just wants to keep things a bit more simple. I think I'll stick with other more traditional Duragloss polishes and paint sealants

:iagree:

I'm pretty happy with "waxing" my car twice a year and being done with it. Not only do I not see the return being great enough to make the leap, but I don't think I'm willing to pay the expense for the good coatings and then go through several bad applications while I learn how to use them.
 
Ok, this morning I did a speedy prep towel wipe using DG rinseless made as a QD on my wife's Mazda 6. Once I was done with that, I applied 1 coat of DGNCC to the car. Because its on my wife's car it will be a better test as its washed about 2 weeks, so the test is on once again:props:

Here's the car from yesterday after a wash:

Wow, I am amazed at how great their customer service is! That there speas miles about the company! I think I'll be trying more of their products in the future!
Klasse, the Mazda looks great! I still havent gotten around to claying/prepping/coating my 300M Special yet, but the day is coming...because I fear the snow may be coming as well. Its getting cold as hell in upper MN!
 
Thanks Brod, for how my wife drives its still pretty decent but like I said its got its "war wounds", LOL but aleast its shiny!

I know this is a "no kidding" but after applying the DGNCC to the wife's Mazda 6 it poured on it, really poured and beading was "normal". Then I went to get a quick bite to eat and it rained normally and the beading was awesome! Looking forward to observing the progress once again as it will be left alone and not topped with ANYTHING, LOL!

Any updates?
 
Its been through 2 soft brush washes since then, along with a couple rinseless washes and it cleans up very easy and looks great:thumbup:

I also just applied DGNCC to the owner of the graphics shop I deal with, his wife's Yukon atually and this was 2 weeks ago, so another test subject is out there for me, one that will surely be used and abused. I used #476 on the roof and all glass though because it was easier and I just wanted to see.

I now have yet another vehicle coated with DGNCC, a brand new quad car Chevy pick-up truck. I actually finished by bottle of DGNCC, well, had a couple pisses of it left and just poured it into my bottle of DPPC:screwy:

I used DG Enviroshield on my 02 996 Turbo and the car looks great. It looks very wet. I bought the coating as I don't drive the car much but don't really have time to continually wax the car. I will probably buy some reload spray to use as a QD after washes.

My only complaint is that after the second coat I think the product left a few streaks. I'm not sure if this was due to the cold temperature as I applied it in 50-60 degree F weather. I have not wet the car since so don't know how it beads.

I applied the DGNCC for the first time when it was 56 outside and I actually did the work in our underground parking garage, it did streak doing it when it was that cool out. The 2nd coat was applied when it was about 68, much better and after that it was in the 80's, the best! As you know it flashes fast, well when the temps are above 70 and any high spots can be buffed down with a swipe of a mf towel.

As far as maintence goes, well, you could buy a gallon of DG rinseless wash and make up some QD out of that. 8 oz into an empty gallon jug and then top off with water, there, your all set. Ofcoarse what's its mainly used for isn't half bad either:p

Ill try the rinseless wash qd.

Its just smart to do this because you have 3 products in one:

-rinseless car wash- 1 oz of product and 2 gallons of water to wash your car ( a 2nd bucket is recommended, ofcoarse)

-quick detailer- 8 oz of product into a gallon jug and then top off w/ water

-clay lube- 5-7 oz of product into a gallon jug and top off w/ water. I say 5-7 oz because some people prefer a stronger amount of product to help it glide better. In my findings 6 oz is just fine.

While I'm at it I should also recommend DG's very own Aqua wax to further keep the paint surface looking awesome and protected. We all like to go overboard when keeping our rides looking their best, can't go wrong here!

Any pics of the 996 turbo?

I bought this car used with 48k miles and got a great deal as mechanically she was just about perfect, but she had been neglected in terms of paint condition and much of the plastic trim had faded from sitting out in the sun. The interior was in good condition, but dirty. Having been into detailing for the last 12 years and a pro finding replacement parts on eBay, I wasn't too worried taking on the challenge. I started off using my 1z products which did a good initial job, but just didn't cut it " literally". The car looked good from a few feet away, but upon closer inspection needed deeper paint correction. In addition to all the black trim needing repainting as well as the calipers and some interior clean-up. I am about halfway through painting the black trim, but will soon be trying dlux to make my life a little easier so I don't have to remove all of the wheel wells. The details matter to me as I am trying to restore the car to like new. The paint has been corrected to 90-95% with menzerna 2500 and 4000. These products really brought the metallic color out in the sun. I could have gone a little further with sf1000 but didn't really have the time and didn't think it was entirely necessary to cut that much. The duragloss has been the icing on the cake I love it as a finishing product. I use to use Klasse on my boxster, but being busy with work and family, I just don't have the time to dedicate to a good Klasse application after two to three steps of polishing.

Out of curiosity can nano glass be mixed with water to make a QD like SG?

Here are some pictures after 1z

Ahh, a "deep purple" 996, would love to see more pics, especially ones that really show that color because in some of the pics it looks black.

Glad you like the DGNCC;)

I would highly doubt you can mix a coating with water to make a QD. Big difference between the products.
 
Its called midnight blue, it is blue most of the time but has, purple, and black hues.
