Duragloss next big thing? I think so!

GlossyTundra

Tractor Detailer
I purchased the Aquawax, quick detailer, bug remover, and vinyl/leather treatment at my local autoparts store. The total was $27 and some change.



Aquawax-Very easy to use and apply. Looks great and is very slick. This mirrors what others have had to say about it. Durability is not known



Fast Shine QD- Also very easy to use. Great cleaning power and will not streak on glass. My new fav. OTC detailer



Bug Remover-works very well. I use it for my quick details on my truck and I let it sit on the front areas for like 1-2 min and then wipe with my MF and viola! Bug free with no wax removal.



Vinyl/Leather treatment-Ok, I bought this with low expectations and was going to use in in my fender wells. But I tried it on my trim and loved it. Very nice finish, like new. Had to buff a little to get the shine down a bit, but still great.



I do think I will go and buy more DG stuff later on. I want to try the car wash and the #111 polish and bonding agent. I am afraid the shine will be to "artificial" as others have stated. I am interested in something called track claw racing polish. It states that it is for use on drag cars to make the finish slick to improve lap times and make dirt not stick. I always wanted to make my Tundra faster. :think2

IMO the Duragloss Aquawax equals the looks of much more expensive products. If the product is able to last 4 or more weeks durability will be a non-issue. Simply polish, lay down a coat of your favorite sealant and apply AW monthly.
 
That seems to be what people are saying about AW.



What about the track claw? Seems to make things extra slick, may be worth a shot. But if anyone wants to pony their $15.95 up first, that is always cool. :LOLOL
 
I for one am totally sold on aquawax. Use it after a wash every so often instead of your usual QD and you increase the durability of your finish indefinately. It looks great, is inexpensive and so easy to use.
 
So, I've got the Aquawax itch... I wanna be on the bandwagon but I just put down a coat of FK1's Pink Wax. Do you reckon the AW would bond over the PW??? I've got FX-100 and it's great but I just have to try the AW.... :think2
 
Brandon...Try the bonding agent and the #111..you will not be disappointed...they also have paste wax that you can go over #111..it is a mild cleaner type wax but very mild...and looks good over #111.. very wet looking...but any good wax will look good on it.



My Duragloss experience started last November..I was looking through E-bay in the detailing section..I was punching in names of products to see what came up..I typed in Duragloss ..as my neighbor raves about it on his work trucks...I came across a auction for duragloss..it was at .01..yes a penny..with 5 hours left...I bid on it..was 35.00 to ship to me from west coat...it contained 98% of the whole line...except the Aquawax and the shampoo...it did have a trial size of the shampoo...Now i won it...



Now my truck was set for the winter as it had Klasse and collinite for winter protection..I decided to do my girls Honda in it...I ordered the shampoo and the Aquawax from their site...got it in 3 days...Now I did the Honda in the full monty ...I used their swirl polish..which is not bad...did the job...finished it 3M machine glaze...applied the bonding agent..let it haze some..applied the clearcoat polish #111 over the bonding agent...let that haze...wiped off..applied the #111 again the ensure full coverage...wiped off....spray on the Aquawax and finished....WOW...looked great..slick as snot ..and a deep look to it.



now the car got 4-5 washes all winter...when temps allowed at a wand wash..then AW was applied again..come spring..the car was as shiny as the day I did it..and beading like I just did it....so it lasted a good winter..and still beaded...





I have a full arsenal of the boutiuqe stuff..and I will stick with the duragloss for the shine and durability...and price....



their products are top notch...

I just bought some AW today at Carquest! I just sprayed it on the Pilot's hood, and it is pretty darn slick and looks wet! Just have to test the durability, but the price sure is right for a product this good!
 
I just ordered the whole duragloss lineup from duragloss.com

shipping was only 5.95 for everything



can't wait to try everything out



the reports seem to be good :usa
 
I just e-mailed Duragloss..and told them of the praises on their products..I asked if there was any chance forum members could get some type of discount..never hurts to try...will see if they get back to me....



Drewski wait till tomorrow..it gets better with age...

I don't think you'll have any problems. Myself and may others are using it over collinite 845.

I'm going to email Duragloss also. Let the autopia presence be known!
 
wow, we definatly have some users here! Yeah, a forum discount would get me buying more stuff from them and prob some in bulk.



Duragloss, jump on the bandwagon.
 
I emailed them some questions the other day and got a good response back. Their customer service is great, but then again I'm in Winston Salem (about 30 min from where it's made). Their #111 can be layered, 24 hrs cure time, up to 5 layers. I've used #111 before as well as their cleaner/polish, but haven't used it since bringing my detailing up to Autopian standards. I've got a new bottle of PBA and #111 and haven't had the chance to use it. I walked out of the local hole-in-the-wall parts store with AW, PBA, and #111 and it was less than $20. The PBA said $4.95 but rang up $3.95 :clap:



My fiancee's car has IW with AW on it now, the AW was applied almost a month ago and still beads. I can tell it's there because the beads aren't as tight as fresh IW. It actually rained about 7 hours after I applied AW, and it still beads just like it did then. As soon as I move in to our new house and unpack, I'm gonna hit up the ZR2 with it and get some durability results. It's black and sits outside 24/7.



I would put money on AW having UV protection, I think it's similar to that Z word system :LOLOL . Seriously though, no Duragloss/Zaino wars, I've got both and will probably keep both. Each one gives great results, there's no wrong way with this situation.



I've been around this stuff all my life since it's made so close to my home, I'm glad to see the guys get some credit. I can remember my dad using it on his new camaro (black) back in 1985.
 
I emailed them 2 days ago about any training or clinics, no luck however they're available 9 - 5 @ 1800-638-7245
 
It's about time the AW got some love and respect! :D



The thing is...most all their products have always worked very well for very reasonable prices, just that noone really hears about them much and the distribution is rather sparse. I do think the AW is one of the best products to come from DG in quite some time though! ;)
 
the thing that I noticed about AW is that it seems well balanced. Deep and reflective but not so reflective that you can't see the paints true color.
