One of my buddy’s has a 79 John Deere, and I wanted to try out some Duragloss products. When he drop it off, he had two cans of paint, green full and yellow ½ full. A rear tire went flat while I was buffing. Did not have enough yellow do all rims. This was not a detail for money, just playing around with my stuff.

HOLY SHEET!
WOW.....you need to park it in a field to get some glory shots.
AMAZING and unique!
Way to go Sparkie.
 
No doubt it was single stage paint..you did a fantastic job on ole john..
Any opinions/thoughts on the DG?I'm not that surprised on its looks because AL53 has been tootin the horn on DG for some time now.Nice detailing skills sparkie..
 
Wow,Wow.Excelent job, welldone:applause::applause::applause:

the DG 101 is great as a paint cleaner..some what better than AIO..Sparkie shows it....it is no compound ryandamartini..just one hell of a strong paint cleaner....will take out minor marring also...has some micro abrasives...besides a chemical cleaner....it will bust up some heavy stuff..as you see here...works just as good on CC paint...great cleaner..but adds protection also..but is best topped with either 111 or 105 for the big paint pop...


Sparkie..that is a perfect job...you did it to the T...nice finished results....A+ ....best turn around i have seen in awhile

Fabulous job!! Inspiring work for someone who recently got a PC and Edge pads. I need to find some neglected paint.
 
Very nice job.
Hats off to you and your skill.
I bet your freind flipped when he seen it !
I have always liked Duragloss. We have been selling it for about 7 years at the store where I work. Vanessa and I have been using it and 3M for detailing on the weekends and for ourself. We are now trying out new brands from AG. I really want to try out their XMT line and some others. I am waiting for their next discount ;-}

Thanks guys, wish I had more yellow paint to finish the rims, I feel like its only 1/2 done. My buddy hasn't came over, said he was, never seen him. He might come over tomorrow. Heck, who knows with him.

The 101, 105, AW is new stuff for me. Been using 901 for years great soap.
Yal seen my details before, 99% of the time I used something like Megs#83 or XMT3 then AIO, top with sealant or wax. Just trying out something new. Like Joe.p said, its single stage paint. I'd like to see how this (101) dose on clearcoat finish.

Big Al, thanks for the info you sent me on DG. Wish I done a side by side test with AIO. Didn't think about it, maybe next time.

The products was real easy to use. The only problem I had was keeping my pad clean, yea I know yal saying you got the edge just push pull flip. Works great on cars with clear coat, you can do a car with one flip. But this old JD, I had clean both sides of my pad after two sq,ft.

AG has some of the best prices on this stuff. I pick mine up at NAPA before AG started selling it. I paid to much compare to AG.

I give the 901, and AW 5 stars.
I like the 101 and 105, still need to play with it more before I give it any stars.
