Ok got some time this afternoon/evening to test most of the Duragloss products and to further test Aquawax. My personal thoughts:
Duragloss Wash --- Cherry Scented .... and clearly offering some lubrication. I was actually quite impressed with this soap. It remined me of Zaino's soap with some polymer protection, but clearly slicker. Worked extremely well in the foam gun and impressive. Unfortunately it was a trial size and dont have anymore to test next washing.
Duragloss Aquawax --- the more I use this product, the more I find it to be average. Sorry ! It certainly has some slickness and seems to work well with its product line, but no better than Quikshine or 425 for gloss. It truly is a dust magnet as each time I use it the dust layers on top of it, more so than even carnuaba wax. DONT ever spray it on the car/truck while damp, and then blow the car off with blower. It dries quickly with streaking and a bear to get off glass and paint without going back to a very damp towel. Best used with a damp surface or dry surface with immediate wipe away.
Duragloss Sealant (white box, blue liquid) --- got to do three panels before dark. Reminds me very much of the look of the original Zaino Z2. Glossy, a little slicker, but kinda plastic looking. The Duragloss Polish lok is very similar in design to the old Z1 also. Wipe on, dont wipe off and then add the polish over it. Seems to be a catalyst to durability factor of sealant. I might try this with some other sealants to see compatibility and additional durability.
Duragloss High Polish Aluminum Cleaner --- I "think" I have found the gem in this line, and none to soon as my wheels were begging for a repolish session. This is a cleaner that specifically offers to brighten and remove tarnish from uncoated high polished aluminum. It can be used on a host of items. The smell clearly shows it to be some acid or strong cleaner. It immediately took off any sealant and tarnish on the wheels. They looked brand new. I need to recheck in morning to assure no streaks (Flitz offers a similar product, but I found it to streak badly and made wheels need immediate repolishing).
So personally , and I stress personally, I think I would consider another bottle of the soap. If the aluminum cleaner worked as well as it appears, I might buy it by the gallon. Impressive .... as for the sealant and spray wax, well personally I have other products in my personal aersonal I will reach for first. It would be another nice and reasonable line to add to AG's aersonal, and that way I could get the soap and wheel cleaner at discount.
