    Some DG105 shots

    I had decided to try DG105. I was looking for a LSP that had prolonged durability. I tried it on my wife's car 2wks ago and my car last week.

    At what point has a product sat to long to be effective anymore? Sealants, waxes, polishes, etc? I hardly get to detail anymore, and I still have so much product from several years now.

    Is there a spray-on product that will strip off wax or sealants?
