The OFFICIAL Duragloss Enviroshild review thread, everyone!

Nothing is recommended to top that coating...not even their own Aqua Wax! ReLoad is giving you the sheeting now, not the coating. (reLoad rocks!). Next time don't top it with anything.

Thanks for chiming in Richy, I know you're the Duragloss guru. I understand it shouldn't be topped with anything, but I wasn't sure if using UWW+ was consider a "topping", meaning did it affect the sheeting ability of DGNCC?

I don't know, but I am going to try using UWW+ on the Reload side tomorrow to see what affect it has on it.

Have you tried DGNCC lately? I believe I read you were testing the beta products. What has your experience been with the sheeting ability of DGNCC?
 
I guess when Dr Bailey talks, people should listen (don't top that coating). Its got to be the only explanation. Glad this was caught on video because its the perfect reminder that topping any coating will take away its designed properties and I have to say that sheeting is what its all about for me.

Reload obviously "fixed" it, but that's not a solution in my book because its another product trumping the coatings properties. Why put a coating on if it has to be "helped"? It must stand in its own because average Joe (I hate taking care of my car) isn't going to mess topping that coating which is why he is buying the coating in the first place ( wash it and forget it).

Thanks again for posting this video. Its a teaching moment that anybody contemplating coatings should see. Its possible that "this" coating is not like the rest but I'm more impressed now with it because my idea of a true coating is one that stands on its own. Awesome.

So that brings us to the $64 million question...what should you wash this coating with? Not in theory...in reality. It looks like we need more folks getting this coating dialed in. I bought it but have not applied yet
 
Wow, that sheeting was pretty slow. I've seen faster (better?) from nothing but freshly polished paint. Hmmmmmm......

OTOH, My daughter came down this weekend to do a 2nd coat on her new Sportage and I had her wash it with PBL Coating (approved) shampoo (4 small pumps to 3 gallons) and her sheeting was GREAT! :)

Me not being able to do anything with it for now (2 days out of back surgery), I showed my son-in-law how to get it to sheet. He had never done anything like that before and was a bit sloppy on the roof, but the hood.... Not only did it sheet very easily, and very quick. But literally ended up with less than 2 dozen water drops on it.

UWW+ will not do that - if anything it enhances water behavior. UWW+ is not the culprit here.
 
What polish did you use prior to Squeaky Clean?

Did Squeaky Clean really clean up the oils left behind by your polish?

I agree. I tested the Reload side by using UWW+ on it to see if it would affect the Reload sheeting. It did not.

I used Meguiar's ultimate compound with M105. I did an IPA wipe down and then used Squeaky clean.

I would only have to assume that all the oils were gone. It felt squeaky clean to me.
 
I think your prep was bad. Someone else posted a video of the sheeting and it was sheeting like crazy.

You are welcome to your opinion. I am no expert. It's just a hobby of mine, but I stand by my work.

It's not rocket science. Wash, clay, polish, IPA, Squeaky Clean, DGNCC.

Also, if my prep work was bad, why is Reload sheeting faster? Wouldn't my "bad" prep work affect Reload too?
 
DGNCC may not have the sheeting I was expecting, but I do like the way it looks and feels.

This is a reflection from the 15 year old, 220,000 mile, family van.

Kinda hard finding a good spot left on the van worthy of taking a picture. ;)

I've put reload over top of sealants and it beaded and sheeted amazing, for about a week.
I say it was in your prep because others have had success with it.

Please post links to the success videos. I have only seen one and I believe he said he had used ONR Wash and Wax. So, I'm not sure if it was the DGNCC sheeting or the ONR Wash and Wax?

Also, please explain what I did wrong in my prep so I may learn from my mistake.

Thank you.

The Reload probably didn't wear off yet. I'm not saying your prep was bad either.

What went wrong? Who knows? Welcome to the world of coatings.

I think you may misunderstand. The entire car was done with DGNCC. I was not getting good sheeting so I applied Reload to half of the hood to compare. I sure hope it didn't wear off yet, it has only been on there a day.

I never used it before, but I hear it is good for a month or so.
 
Ok, I did a quick test on the hood of a Plymouth Voyager (same as a Dodge Caravan). The van has a short steep hood compared to the Buick Park Avenue, I thought it would be a good second test for the sheeting of DGNCC. With the aid of Gravity!

Alert - Bad Prep Work Ahead! I did no prep work besides washing and an IPA wipe down. I didn't even use Squeaky Clean because if I recall correctly, the one person that is getting good sheeting didn't use it. He just used IPA. I believe his video was after using ONR Wash and Wax. So I did not wash the car in my video to eliminate the DG#901 as interfering with the sheeting.

Ok, now again comparing it to Reload.

Why am I comparing it to Reload?
1. It is know to sheet well.
2. I bought it along with CQUK from AG to do my daughter's car next weekend. (I bought DGNCC for my cars.)


This time Reload on driver side and DGNCC on passenger side.

I would hope others would post their videos of DGNCC with no other topping so we can compare.

In any case. I have always had great results with DG products. Even if the sheeting isn't what I was hoping for, I have confidence that the protection and durability will be there.

This is the one I was referring to.
 
Yes, that is the one I saw also. He uses ONR Wash and Wax, but he does not think that enabled the sheeting. When you said "others have had success with it", I was hoping to see additional videos.

All I can tell you is I tried it on two cars and got the same results.

Hopefully we will see more videos posted soon. Or maybe someone will do a review.
 
This thread and others like it on this product, have made this from a must buy for me, to stay away. Maybe its peoples application process, and people not knowing how to do it properly, like when AG house brand coatings came out. But I don't know.

CQ and DP Paint Coating, I'll stick with those!

Also, UWW+ didn't affect anything, it leaves behind minor protection.

I think it's user error. Maybe not enough was applied or something. There are too many variables.
Maybe Klasse act will chime in since he started the thread and let us know how it beads and sheets for him.
