DG 111, What you can expect

[Quality Control]

501 may be intended for marine/RV use, but it's an absolutely superb cleaner wax when little or no correction is needed, plus having pretty decent durability on its own. Try it with a white pad on a car you think is already clean and you'll be amazed at how dirty the pad gets.
Mixing it with 601 at a 4:1 ratio allows you to follow with 105 or 111 immediately after for even better results, without the wait to allow for cure times.

This past fall, I did 501/601, followed by 105 and finally Colli 476. I got thru an entire PA winter on a non-garaged DD and it's still beading with a little monthly help from Aquawax. Once I get the time to do my spring cleanup, I'll try 501/601, followed by 111. Haven't used 111 yet, so I'm anxious to see how it looks.

Thanks, I guess my shopping spree is not over! Although I did buy 501 for my Seadoo's when I bought my Rupes setup. Figure I will use the Rupes for both my cars and boats.

I am going to buy gallons of this stuff now because I love it SOOO Much!

I was going to ask you about durability Klasse but then did not bother as I pretty much new the answer as a few do the same. By that I mean that some are always experimenting and trying different products and would not be able to answer a durability question LOL. I will find out the longevity but it may take a year if 601/111 is as good as 601/105.

Again very nice write up and that is some great durability you got with 601/105. I used klasse and just to give you an idea I had it on my car for 7 months and could havve easily gone another 2-3. It did help that it was a dry fall/winter here in southern california. I maintained it with sonus acrylic spritz and acrylic glanz. I have since repolished to try something else. Klasse worked very well for me. Hope this gives you an idea.

I am sure the 932 no-rinse and once in a while Aqua Wax applications helped the Longevity along. I did try the Klasse twins on the RV and it did not fare so well so I kept searching and tried DG 652 and 601/105. It looked and lasted so well I became a DG junkie. I had previously used Zaino products but doing a 32' 5ver with Zaino was cost prohibitive. So that is where all this started, looking for something that would keep me from buffing fiberglass every three months in 110 degree weather. One thing I can say for DG is that the products are affordable, they work as intended and I have not found anything they make that I have not been pleased with. Nothing wrong with Klasse I just found something that I became pleased with.

As I stated earlier I did the Daughter Twilight Blue Metallic today.

Pre wash started me thinking this 15 month old 601/105 is still going, so why am I doing this.

This is why, started with 101 and a Edge blue pad doing the entire car. Then 2 coats of 601/111 with a Edge white pad.

Daylight shots

601/111 on my truck done about a month ago. Color is Driftwood, it is more of a silver until the sun gets in different directions then it looks more of a copper.

I am now out of vehicles, the RV will continue with 601/105. The 111 appears to add a little more gloss than 105 and the 111 boasts UV protection where 105 does not. So is 111 better than 105 in the protection, I do not know but with 3 vehicles wearing it I will find out.
