After claying then using AIO back in April or May with 2 coats of SG, all I have done is washed my '06 Xterra maybe once a week (and believe me...I get my X plenty dirty).
I've never used a DA for any polishing or correction, and am still quite new to detailing. I was using Meg's regular Quick Detailer as my QD+ partially because it's the only thing I owned like that. I decided to try #521 after PMing Sparkie a few times, and I have to say...I love it. I think Meg's QD may have gotten some junk off just slightly easier...but did not do anything for the shine or slickness I felt.
Anyway, here are some pics after washing with Meg's GC (finally got that too after using some pink stuff by Blue Coral), and #521 after 2 days of driving around:

Glossy...maybe plastic like shine?

Sorry...don't own Crocs. :D
 
Looks great. How's it doing at repelling dust?

Thanks for the compliment Mike!
It actually seems to be repelling dust pretty well. In the morning my windshield is dusty, but my hood is not too bad at all. The pollen has calmed down quite a bit here so it is somewhat difficult to compare to Meg's QD (again, the only other QD I have ever used) in that area, but I would have to say from what I am seeing so far, it is actually repelling dust. We'll see how it does over a few more days.
 
The 4 Marine products I have tested all have been very good....I used them and told Sparkie...he used them and found to same findings I did...

My Buddy has a Granite Counter top company and he started using the 501 to clean and protect the granite after installations....

The 521 works good ..it has a real nice gloss to it and nice and slick....it does show its anti static properties at work for me...its very dust there...and when I drive off the dust blows off...

The Flake on your paint is really showing....looks great....

No, it keeps rainging off an on through out the days. I didn't even get to wash my car this past weekend.

That really looks good! Thanks for sharing. Another product to add to my Cart.
 
WOW! That looks great. Love the pics, thanks for sharing!
 
Vehicle looks great, wow talk about flakes poping...incredable.

Thank you for sharing
 
Gotta add my kudos to the 521. Incredible shine, slickness, easy to apply and works wonders on glass and wheels too when giving ride a quick QD. For the money, DG has not disappointed at all. If its true what Al-53 says about the DG products working in harmony with each other, I can't see any reason not to use their products in combo--especially the 901, 105, 521, and 951.

I'm curious how the dust repellent qualities of 521 work as well. Our office is next to a furniture manufacturer and dust is always a nuisance. I'll keep you posted.

Also, not sure how DG does it with the standard $4.95 shipping for any order--even when buying gallons of different products--that box was mighty heavy.
 
Ricka...Product lines like Zaino..DG ..Pinnacle..Klasse and DP were all designed to work as a system...the chemicals are formulated to enhance the each product in the same line...I think you get best results when using the system then going mongrul ....yes they will work with other products..but they stand out better with using with same line of product due to the chemical make up of them..they enhance them better....since they are formulated around the chemical make up of the products....

Certainly makes good business sense to capture as much consumer loyalty in that manner. And given their prices, the consumer benefits from the cost standpoint as well.
 
I went outside this morning hoping to have some dust on the Xterra and take a short video clip of the ease of blowing the dust off to maybe give an idea of the antistatic qualities of #521.
But for some strange reason, there has not been much dust or pollen in my area. I am not complaining about the lack of pollen considering a month ago my car would practically change from silver to yellow overnight with all the junk in the air, :p but thought it might be nice to see how well it really works.
I don't want to lead anyone off course here with my opinions of the product, because as I mentioned I am very new to anything involving more than washing my car here and there (though I did buy the Klasse twins in April or May from AG and the one time I have used them they are AWESOME!). I can only compare to Meg's QD since that is the only QD I have used besides #521 to date....but this stuff takes the slickness/wet? category hands down in my opinion.

Thanks again for the compliments on X and the flake!:cheers:
