Considering that most apply a sealant about every 6 months the curing time isn't that much of a whip--although you do have to plan ahead. I'll throw on the 501 Friday afternoon, 105 Saturday and the AW Sunday. Just have to make sure it won't rain in between applications if you need to drive...

After a while, I will throw on some Liquid Souveran just for grins. It doesn't last long but looks great and feels like butter--just glides on. On silver paint its terrific but the durability definitely lacks. To me, its more of a time killer when I just want to play with the paint. Seems like...

Per the great Al53, I tried DG 501, 105 and AW this weekend. Rinseless 4-1, clay, 501 (wait 24 hrs), 105 (wait 24 hrs) then AW. I even applied all by hand. Excellent results, especially on metallic silver. Since 501 is similar to 105 there is no need to apply 105 2x. 501 has strong cleaners and...

The Audi is barely 8 months old and there's already a wear mark from my heel next to the accelerator. Since its carpet mats, not sure how to prevent the wear getting worse. Really don't want to put in rubber ones. Wondering if there's some sort of pad to affix to the mat so the heel doesn't...

I'm not a big fan of wheel cleaners per se. However, I don't detail for a living either and can't imagine some of the eyesores pros have to deal with. For my personal use, its merely a QD as I never let the wheels get bad. Keep 'em up and its quite an easy clean up. For grins, I used some 501...

I mix clay, 521, 105, Black Diamond Tire Gel, AW, IG and Souveran in a bucket. Throw it all on the car. Blow dry during a quick drive. Saves a lot of steps...

I put my clay in a zip lock sandwich bag then into the clay container...no problems yet

I've received some samples from the generous Meghan. Ask thru a PM to her when ordering. Fell in love with the Wolfgang Black Diamond tire gel that way. Never hurts to ask you know...:D

Welcome to the board. I have a silver 07 Audi and when I first got started with this obsession, it was Duragloss 901 wash, Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay, DG 501 (marine paint cleaner), 105 sealant (2x) and Liquid Souveran just for grins (you don't need a wax over the 105 but it goes on sooooo smooth...

I posted this before and hope to get a response this time. I too am looking to buy a UDM but have some troublesome tendonitis in my right elbow and wondering if the vibrations over hours of use to polish paint will aggravate it too much... Do some of you in here have elbow tendonitis issues...

Great job on that silver paint...excellent reflection on a tough color. Looks like a custom sunshield too. Where did you get it and how much (if I may ask).

Through sheer luck I found a nice use for DG 105. Somehow some glue-like substance got on my windshield. Tried Stoners and 521 but neither worked. For grins I tried a little 105 and it worked like magic removing the goop. Worked so well I applied it on the entire windshield. Have never used a...

Had been using Meguire's High Endurance but right now, partial to the Wolfgang Black Diamond (Thank you Meghan for the sample ;)). Its a thin consistency, goes on easy, don't need much and after about 1/2 hour, wipe off leaving a nice shine but not too blingy. Hardly any sling either. Big...

I'll also confirm 521 or FC&S and AW is a winning combination. You really don't see a difference appearance-wise but water certainly beads better...

Thinking about making the plunge for a UDM. My only worry is recurring tendonitis in my elbow and the use of any polisher aggravating the problem. Its very new paint (with no marring) but have really caught the detailing bug and want to kick it up a notch. Anyone had difficulty using a PC/UDM...

Hoping someone can steer me to a good rock chip repair specialist in the north Texas area. Most good detailers I've PM'd here are not comfortable with doing chip repair. I have 3 noticeable (at least to me) rock chips on my 07 Audi A6 hood--metallic silver. I've visited a couple of recommended...

Have used both UQD and AW. I think the UQD goes on a little easier, both bead the same but AW lasts somewhat longer. Also, AW is cheaper and can buy by the gallon. After using up the UQD, I'll probably just continue with the AW. Plus its a good sealant for rims.

+1 Yeah, in the shade metallic silver looks most worthy. Too bad it doesn't look that way in the sun...

5-Hour Energy drink. You don't have to drink much, non-carbonated, good kick and doesn't tie your stomach in knots.

Why should I use SS instead of AW? Is there a noticeable difference and what are the benefits of either? Currently use Liquid Souveran with an AW topper and DG 521 (with a little AW added) as a quick QD between washes.
