    rupes mini speed

    I used the white pad and ultra fine polishing gel on speed 5 with my 75 today. I used very little pressure as my paint is in pretty good condition and all I was after was removal of the rest of the existing coating and that little extra buff before waxing. No issues with heat at all.

    The OFFICIAL Duragloss Enviroshild review thread, everyone!

    Every time I start thinking maybe it's time to do something, try a different product, to my car that has DGNCC on it since April it rains and reminds me I don't need to. Good thing I have another car to use as a test bed and to get my detailing fix from on a regular basis. If not I'd be like...

    Another vote for Dry Me Crazy.

    The OFFICIAL Duragloss Enviroshild review thread, everyone!

    Sorry, can't help you there, only thing I've used is DG 901 weekly. Bugs don't seem to affect it as I've had some that sat a few days before washing them off. It hit 90+ degrees here this week so my wife decided to park next/under a pine tree to keep the car cooler, bird bombs, needles, and...

    The OFFICIAL Duragloss Enviroshild review thread, everyone!

    I made a very unscientific observation last night. It rained while my wife and I were eating dinner, so when we came out of the restaurant I checked out her car which has DGNCC on it and then mine which is my test auto. It has a combination of AF Desire on the roof and sides which is about two...

    Are Dry me Crazy drying towels good quality?

    Bought one to try, bought three more after testing. Great product.

    The OFFICIAL Duragloss Enviroshild review thread, everyone!

    One thing that may have helped in my case was the car was new and the paint was almost perfect. I did clay it and then used Squeaky Clean, but everyone here could replicate that. Application was easy, almost too easy as I thought I was screwing it up, so I ended up putting on a second coat...

    The OFFICIAL Duragloss Enviroshild review thread, everyone!

    I've read that too and my observation after applying two coats three, almost four months ago is the beading/sheeting is still strong. Not sure if it had to do with the temperature when I applied as Klasse has alluded to. Every week when I wash it I think this might be the week I see a loss and...

    The OFFICIAL Duragloss Enviroshild review thread, everyone!

    Hellspawn - I had some of the same doubts as you. As you can tell by my post count I'm pretty new at all this, 1 post per 20 hours of reading/lurking. I've always taken decent care of my cars but decided to take it to the next level and trying to learn as much as I can. When I was applying it...

    I took this video after washing my car today. Three months after application, washed weekly with DG 901, no toppers applied, daily driver, garaged at night: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9LbDP5KkgE]Duragloss Enviroshield 3 months after application - YouTube[/video]

    The OFFICIAL Duragloss Enviroshild review thread, everyone!

    I put two coats on late April and have washed it weekly with DG 901, nothing more. Still sheets/beads like the day I put it on. Other than contamination that you can feel with the baggie test it just keeps performing. Kind of boring actually...... If you're looking for protection with little...

    Contamination two weeks after new wax?

    I'm washing both once a week so while I agree with you Critic I'm not sure how practical washing more often is. I may just have to deal with it like asalesagent912 suggests. I know it's there as I can feel it but I also need to realize they are DD. I'm leaning towards a clay and wax once a...

    Contamination two weeks after new wax?

    Thanks for the tips. I thought because you would normally use a speedy prep towel or a Nanoskin mitt before polishing and applying wax or a sealant it would remove part of the protection, but if it doesn't then problem solved!

    Contamination two weeks after new wax?

    First post here after hours of reading. First let me say thanks to all who contribute so people like me who are new to detailing can learn the right way. I have an issue with contamination on newly waxed/treated cars. Four weeks ago I put Duragloss Enviroshield on our new car (<2000 miles)...
