Could you get by using just Duragloss 101 and AW?

on a newer finish car?
hypothetically ... like if you were lazy

I would clean the paint with DG 501, top with DG 105 or 111, and maintain with Aqua Wax. Also, use DG 601 as a base with 501/105/111. Enjoy!

I guess it depends on your definition of "get by" and "lazy." You might want to consider claying the paint first.
You can always try it and decide if you like the look of it. There are some huge fans of Duragloss products.

Is 501 much better than 105 for cleaning? I bought some but havent tried it yet. Im a big fan of DG 105 over 601 on my chrome wheels!

IMO DG is by far the best line available OTC!

601 + 501 + 105 + 111 sounds a bit too ambitious for me
Presently I have KAIO + AWx2 and am very pleased. Not sure how long it'll last though.

501 is the serious paint cleaner of the lot and leaves a light sealant behind. 105 has light cleaners but is heavy on sealant. Aquawax is a brilliant spray on wipe off sealant that adds an awesome look and more protection. Other than a car wash and clay bar there's little else you need for your paint......it's that good. I would not be without these products along with the car wash, amazing stuff and cheap compared to so many others.
Nope, too much listed! 601 + 501 to clean the paint, 601 + 105 or 601 + 111 to seal it. The 601 flash cures the product used with it so that you don't have to wait 12 hours or more before adding another layer. The main difference you will see between 105 and 111 is removal. 111 can streak if you are having higher humidity and contains no cleaners, 105 has very, very light cleaners. In fact they are so light that they won't remove the previous layer of 501. Most turn to 105 due to the ease of use.
101 and AW would be great if you wanted to have a nice shinny car without a lot of work. Ive used 101 on my service van , and it get a automatic car wash twice a week , and it still is slick and beads water very good . It sits outside 24/7 and it been a month since I did it.

Assuming their are no swirls or other issues with the paint (I would definitely at least clay it first) I would say yes.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that my car is a neutral (gold mist) color without significant correction requirements.
I guess specifically I was asking if 101 is considered to be one of the better AIO's since I'm happy with AW.
Thanks for the replies.
