Has anybody used Last Coat? It looks inexpensive, simple, and promising. Edit: I might point out that I`ve been a Duragloss `fan` since 2015, but these ceramic coatings seem very interesting and a professional ceramic coating is to rich for my wallet, especially after recently replacing the...

So life took me away, then slapped me upside the head! On 1/21/2021 my 2013 chevy silverado 1500 failed a NYS safety inspection due to severe frame rust through! ... In spite of the fact that when I bought it, I also bought ECP AUTO ARMOR paint/rust protection. As a matter of fact, it was...

My gallon of DG Rinseless with Aquawax arrived the other day. So I did a rinseless wash yesterday. Now bear in mind that I've been using ONR for a few years and was happy with it, but I've become a bit of a die hard DG fan so I felt I had to try their product. I got a little bit from my...

Note: I realize this isn't really a detailing story, but a story worth telling I think... When I got my truck last January, I inherited/found that the drivers door roller hinge was frozen up and the door made a terrible creek when opened/closed. I tried WD40, liquid wrench penetrating oil...

With the onset of late fall / early winter and the fact that my new (to me) truck is almost a year old, I'm losing the detailing 'itch'. I gave her a good layer(s) of sealant weeks ago and now with the cold I have barely had the urge to even wash her! I fear I'm losing the edge and have to...

So I just tried DG 931 the other day. Another gift from the 'DG lottery' I received. I mixed about 2-3oz in a quart spray bottle of 'soft water' (I reclaim water from my basement dehumidifier (I wouldn't drink it, but it's like distilled). I spray this on a panel, wipe with a wet WW towel...

As a result of my recent DG 'lottery' win, I'm trying Duragloss 821 All Wheel Cleaner and Duragloss 253 Tire and Rubber Dressing. I sprayed the wheels with the cleaner, brushed and pressure washer rinsed. A lot of crud came off but in hind sight, I might have repeated the process to get the...

This past weekend out of the blue I got a private message from a fellow Autopian saying that he was switching product lines and since I was a Duragloss fan, would I like him to send me a bunch of DG products he was no longer going to use. Let me think...Oh okay, I suppose I could take them off...

I have a Truxport tonnaeu cover on the truck. I had been using 303 Aerospace Protectant but it seemed short lived and seemed to attract a lot of bugs. Since I'm using DG sealants (105/111) I thought I would give DG 301 Tonnaeu Cover & Vinyl Convertible Dressing a try. By the next day (bottle...

So a couple of months ago another member gave me a DG step saver tip after learning I was using Duragloss. You mix 1 part of the bonding agent (601) to 4 parts of the sealant (be it 105 [total performance polish] or 111 [clear coat polish]). The bonding agent (like an epoxy) causes the sealant...

I went to the NYS fair yesterday and on impulse, bought some royal blue wax as the demo looked good. Anybody have any experience with it? (It's a liquid cleaner wax with Brazilian Carnuba). Royal Blue Wax

I went to the NY state fair yesterday and on impulse I bought some Royal Blue Wax as the demo looked good. (It's a liquid cleaner wax with no clay fillers and Brazilian carnuba wax). Does anybody have any experience with it to share?

I was thinking yesterday (did you smell the smoke?) about how much thought and effort it takes to keep the truck in good shape. Vacuuming, treating vinyl and plastic, washing, claying, polishing, sealing, paint touch-up.... Then it hit me...it's a good thing the house doesn't have wheels! I...

I have to say I've been a fan of Rainx as it's kinda cool to be driving along in a rain and have it stream right off the windshield - wipers or not. But I've also seen some youtubes suggesting that a spray wax is just as good. I'm thinking of giving Aquawax a trial. What are your...

When I bought the truck it had a small scar on the side of the box. The scrape was just down to the gray primer. Most likely scraped by side loading something in the truck bed. I had it touched up and the fella said the trick is just applying very little paint. The color match was excellent (GM...

So I've noticed that there is water in my truck doors (more on the drivers side) after a heavy rain (maybe after washing too). This is not an issue by itself as no windows totally seal out water. My concern is that it only seems to drain out when I open the door(s). My truck might sit in the...

Not long after I got the truck I realized I needed more secure space for tools, trailer hitch, ratchet straps, tarp, boat stuff... so I went and bought a truck toolbox. This made the already short bed (6.5') even shorter and in winter I found myself shoveling snow outta the bed too often...

I was watching some youtube video's about various LSP product performances/complaints and in most cases (often with some god awful rap music) there was only a hose pouring water on a hood to show beading or sheeting. It caused me to wonder...what exactly IS the definitive OBJECTIVE measure of an...

Admittedly this is just a simple weekly wash and wax topper. The truck has DG 105 on her. This was a 2 bucket wet wash followed by a DG Aquawax topper. Tires are simply 303 Aerospace Protectant after a scrub. Note: I'm not looking for 'show car shine', just trying to keep her as new as I can...

It seems on the OPT FB page it was suggested that Opti Seal s/could be used as a drying agent and one detailer was recommending mixing 50/50 with ONR. I suggested this wasn't recommended by OPT as dilution and/or mixing with a lubricant like ONR reduces the products ability to properly adhere to...
