I decided to take a trip to the local store that carries Duragloss products so i could pick up a bottle of Aquawax. While i was there one of the employees reccomended the total performance polish(#105) he said it was extremely easy to apply and remove. As it only costs about 8 dollars i thought i would give it a try since a Duragloss product would be a good base for the AW. Based on what the bottle says it has cleaners and is synthetic and also has some carnuaba.
Application was extremely easy. Since the product is thin, it's very easy to apply in thin coats. The bottle says to apply to one panel at a time and let dry, but since it was so easy to apply i applied it to the entire car and let it dry for a moment or two and then wiped it away. The only reason i'm writing this is because this stuff is very easy to remove. I would compare it to UPP for removal and that is saying a lot, especially since this product is a cleaner wax product and only costs 8 bucks.
The look is great, i applied it saturday(i'm writing this the following monday) and haven't gotten the chance to apply the AW yet and the car looks as good as after applying any expensive wax/sealant that i have tried. This product is not on the Duragloss website which leads me to think that maybe it has been discontinued, but the guy at the store acted like it was a brand new product. I have no idea if this stuff has a future or not(maybe he was just giving me a good sales-pitch?).
Either way, if you can find some i would strongly suggest trying it as it seems to be a great product, especially for 8 dollars. I haven't thought about testing longevity as i plan on using AW over it, but the initial look is great and it's extremely easy to apply and remove and it is a cleaner wax product also. It also has a great scent, i can't quite place what it smells like, but my initial impression was bubble gum.
I might also add, that the finish it was used on was polished and sealed(UPP) in early april, and washed and waxed (meg's #26) regularly since, ease of application and removal might depend on what type of finish you are working with.

I do wonder about his comments regarding the cleaners though.
