Feel free to post photos of your vehicles with Duragloss products so others may see what is possible on their color of vehicle.
A few weeks ago, I was interested in trying Duragloss 105 and 111 on my white vehicle. It was a bit difficult to find photos on this site or on the web with photos of the above products used on similar color vehicles. Thought this might help this forum.
I ended up trying both Duragloss 105 and 111 out to test to see which one I preferred.My vehicle is 9 years old and has lived outside 24/7. It has 196,000 miles. The paint is pretty much swirl free.
Method:
I cleaned iron deposits off of my paint with iron x and used tar x to remove tar. Duragloss 601/501 in 1:4 ratio was used to clean the paint. Then Duragloss 601/105 in 1:4 ratio was used on rear door. Duragloss 601/111 was used on all other panels.
Duragloss 105 on rear door and Duragloss 111 on all other panels. Photo taken 1 day after application with no topper of Duragloss 951.
Same details as above photo.
Same details as top two photos. Duragloss 105 on rear door and Duragloss 111 on front door. At times, depending on the light I thought I could see maybe 10% more gloss on Duragloss 111. However 90% of the time I could see no difference.
The above photo was taken 1 week after Duragloss 105 and 111 application. The vehicle was washed with Optimum car wash soap then dried with blower. Duragloss 951 was applied to a dry vehicle. Photo was taken 1 day after application of Duragloss 951.
White is difficult color to photograph. If I took a photo when the sun is high in the sky, white will wash out. Photos taken when the sun is lower and warmer will bring out greater gloss.
I am pleased with using Duragloss. I like the fact that 501 can be used without having to strip the previous LSP which is a time saver. In lower light situations and on rainy days my paint can look like glass. At times it really glows. I have been searching for 1.5 years for a product that works well with my white truck. I'm pretty darn pleased.
As I have learned from this forum, the preparation getting paint swirl free and clean is 90-95% of making it look its best. The LSP is the final 5-10%.
Hopefully this thread will help others with what their paint may look like with this product once swirl free and clean.
