I'm thinking based on what I've read here and from Duragloss, I'm going to do the alcy-water strip, 101, then 105. I found out last night that the Collinite 845 can be problematic in temperatures under 60*F, which I won't see again until April and my garage is not that well insulated. I'm...

What's the harm in a Plan 'B'? The durability of a product depends on several factors: condition of paint, climate, environment, type of contaminants, duration of contact of contaminants, user error during application, improper prep before application, etc. . . For the sake of argument, what...

My theory with applying Collinite over DG105 is durability. For the winter months, I'm not *as* concerned with looks as I am protection from contaminants. Therefore, I assume the IW would act essentially as a sacrificial layer. As my car is hit with contaminants and such the IW would wear...

Is the Collinite 845 nauba based?

So, it sounds like 101 will work and there is no cure time before the 105? Does anyone know how well 105 goes over 101? In other words if I just did the alcy-water strip then 101 then 105, is that any better or worse then just alcy-water then 105? Also, I have an email into Duragloss for...

Hey, I've been looking around for the answer but haven't been satisfied with what I've found. I realize now I made a mistake some time ago when I ordered my Duragloss 101 & 105, as I should have bought the 501, 601, and 105 instead. AG can't get it here fast enough (and was backordered when...

Anyone know if the new Glass Science washer additive solvent based? Anyone tried it?

I like the SurfCity and PB Bold n' Bright. I've used the DP & Wolfgang, and while both look good (Wolfgang looks better IMHO), both are greasy and made handling the tires during maintenance awkward and messy. SurfCity looks great, but I haven't used it enough to know about its durability. I...

Fair enough. Will do.

Thanks for the help. I'll be picking up some Menz and some glaze (just in case), and I'll be digging around the garage from some old tennis balls to throw in the dryer with the clothes. Thanks again!

Well, I went with the new UPP 1-coat and Liquid Souveran 1-coat. I'll be maintaining with LSS every two-weeks, I think. We'll see at the first few washings. Right now the car is laid up on jack stands in the garage waiting on some replacement parts to finish out a brake upgrade, so no...

How long does the UPPS take to cure? I used the AW on top of the Klasse twins and XMT180 for my winter detail this past year, and was amazed at how much the AW put back in the depth of the car & helped bring out some of the pearl. But I am afraid the AW will really change the look, as you've...

I'm finally getting around to doing the summer detail on my car and I've decided to use the Pinnacle Twins (Swirl Remover & Finishing Polish) and 4* UPP w/Polycharger. I'm already done with that and the UPP is curing as we speak, but I can't decide what to put on top of the UPP. I know there...
