If I wanted to try out Duragloss 105 for my Winter protection - is the bonding agent really necessary after claying and polishing the paint??
 
No.  Basically the bonding agent simply allows you to apply another coat or LSP immediately instead of waiting 24 hours or so.  I typically don't use 601 simply because I don't mind waiting a day or so.  Prefer it, actually.  I love to detail my cars in part because I do it in relatively small doses.  I never do start to finish in one shot.

I'm confused on your answer. Waiting a day or so after what? Polishing? 


 


My plan is to wash, clay, polish and do apply one coat of 105 all within 24 hours.  Is that ok without using 601?

You'll be fine with that approach. 105 has some strong cleaners in it so it won't really layer even with 601. 601 WAS really meant for 111 but then the DG guys figured out they could sell more by telling people it was OK to mix it with all their other LSPs. There isn't any credible proof that 601 does anything but promote the initial bonding of 111 to bare paint.

Perfect. Thanks Dan.
 
I apply 601 and 105 at the same time by combining them on the pad, I then let it set up for about 30 mins. I have been using 601,105,501 for years and from my experience it allows for better bonding and longevity of the sealant.

M-D; Agree 100%! Try mixing in a two ounce bottle both a and b parts and let it sit about a week, product will hardened. I ended up throwing the bottle away.. lol

Interesting, so have you tried 105 vs 105+601 side by side on the same car?
