    Duragloss line??

    So I am out of S&W but have some on order - on a whim I picked up this product from my local carparts store -

    NO. 921 FAST CLEAN AND SHINE
    Formulated to clean dust and light soil from painted surfaces without scratching. Bonds with existing polish to extend the gloss and durability.

    It was < 6 bucks so I figured what the heck...

    I`m Impressed! The product itself has a coconut/bananna/tropical smell - very pleasing. I sprayed some on the hood and used my Mullet Wax Awesome Polishing cloth, it spread easy (it`s a clear watery solution), then flipped the cloth and wiped. Man - Slick and glossy! ..and fast! I think I did the whole car in 10 minutes and really put the shine on it.(Car has SSR2 - PwC and two coats of EX). I`m not sure about all the bonding stuff they claim but it really really worked well!

    There were not much in the way of instruction but it`s pretty straight forward - spray, wipe on, wipe off...

    The company is out of Burlington NC (close to here - Raleigh) and they have a whole line of products (you can check em out at www.duragloss.com) - I`m curious if anyone else has used any of them?

    call me curious

    Soooo.... I dropped by the autoparts store again and got their No111 Clear Coat Polish - basically a sealant - it came with a free sample of their pre polish conditioner (to clean off the old and help the Duragloss adhear)..

    went like this -

    Applied the pre polish as instructed with my PC on 3 and Edge DA Blue pad - (their instruction say to apply and leave on then apply CCP..hmm.)

    Then swithced to Meg`s Soft Buff and read the instruction for CCP (basically apply/wait for haze/remove). There was a line in there about streaking so I thought ...uh oh..but I braved it anyway.

    It`s a light blue color (PB?? did they steal your trade mark color? :lol) and has a minty smell. It goes on easy and is almost translucent..I had to lean to make sure I was getting coverage but sure enough I saw the pad marks.

    I didn`t take more than 2-3 oz before I didn`t have to apply any more the the pad and did the rest of the car. So I waited and did my interior - PB Natural look (gawd I love that stuff in the interior). about 30 mins later I started to remove it- Wiped right off and slick - about the same as EX not as slick as UPP - yet...

    It was pretty impressive once I had it all removed and then I remembered on the SLC it said to use it after you use the CCP for the ultimate in gloss. So I did - very very light application (same as before but barley misted).

    Well..for 6.95 it came out really really great!! I`m impressed - really really impressed. (Pics attached so you can judge). We`ll see how it hold up (like any product makes it that long with me )...but this may just get a place in my permanent collection

    see for yourselves

    Any good degreaser or APC scrub rinse, Then use a good dressing to leave them looking brand new. Your paint is flawless you should try the new Menzerna Glaze and Wax its supposed to be very good.
