I picked up a gallon of Duragloss car wash today. At $25 a gallon, is it really that much better? I've always used Blue Coral wash and wax at $5 a gallon. I havn't tried the DG yet but I am wondering is it worth the difference in price or does using the right polish and LSP mean more than the type of soap. Any thoughts and experience is greatly appreciated!

Probably gentler on your lsp than the Blue coral. Also has agents in it to help prevent water spots. Plus, it smells awesome!!!
 
Yes good and slick, smells good and cleans well imo

DG soap and Poorboys SS&S is in a different league

I've got a gallon of the DP soap and I rate it VERY high. The stuff us super slick, cleans great, smells good, and rinses really clean. It's great stuff. Have you ever tried it??
 
Comparing Duragloss wash to Blue Coral is like comparing a Viper to a Civic, one rules...one doesn't :D
 
Never tried DP. I've always loved to keep a "detailed" car, or so I thought! ;) That was until I started reading AG and realized that all I was doing was washing cars and not truly detailing! Now that I'm in head first, I guess I'll be trying everything so a gallon of DP will be next!

:iagree:
 
I find it to be a nice offering, some of the line is medicore at best, but the soap is rather high ranking in my book.

Are you saying that some of the DP line is "mediocre"?
 
DG I believe is what he means...


I have the gallon of 902 DG soap and I couldn't be more pleased!! I mix other agents with it and have gotten nothing but satisfaction. I even mix DP extreme foam formula with it :) Super DUPER Suds.

Does it really have these agents in it? I didn't know that. Are there any other good soaps that has this ability? I've been adding a cap of ONR to my wash mix for this and it does the job but if I can buy a soap that already has this ability even better.

Duragloss really is better IMHO as well. it does not strip like many of the Meg's, let's say, do. It goes a long way, foams up very nicely, and is pleasant to work with. It is a good price for its quality. On my vette and the Relay - the 2 new cars, 2007 and 2006, I mix some with Pinnacle to stretch out the Pinnacle and make it sudsier. Try it for yourself. To each his own, as they say. Pick it up at NAPA, try it, and when you love it order it from AG in big sizes.
 
I've used Duragloss shine products for quite some time now. While I agree their 901 soap is a great product as a stand alone, I've also found that adding a capful of the Rain-X self drying car wash to the 901 is a fantastic combo. It works exceptionaly well with soft water and a (no nozzle) flow dry rinse. A simple bot dry with a waffle weave towel.

Thanks for the tip.
DG soaps adds shine to the paint.
EDIT: Someone said DG#901 adds a lite sealant while wasing. Don't know for sure.

As offered by others (thats Den) I meant Duragloss. DP's line is rather well rounded and most every offering does exactly as offered. I think alot of individuals fail to try the DP line and miss some nice products at great prices.

Yeah may have to do the same! ;) Back on topic. The DG wash is a nice wash and its my go to wash. I like to try others that maybe a little cheaper but I always go back to the DG.
