Looking for a new LSP

Thanks, guys. I like to clean up the paint twice a year on the CR-V and thought I'd give DG 501 a try, given all the positive reports I've heard about its cleaning power. It is reputed to enjoy excellent durability on its own, but after the outstanding performance I experienced from 1000p last winter, I just can't allow the 501 to stand on its own.



I will also be using the 501 on my S2K later this month and will top it with Blackfire Wet Diamond. I switch to BFWD for the winter months. I'll probably sandwich Danase Wet Glaze between the 501 and BFWD. I doubt I'll see a difference, but I've got the product so I might as well use the stuff. :)

Get some 601 and mix 4oz 501 and 1oz 601, apply with a DA like you are working a final polish, buff off after each panel and you will not be disappointed
 
Based on the forum's recommendations I tried BFWD tonight. I applied two coats and finished with BF deep gloss spray sealant. The sunlight faded and I finished in the dark so no direct sunlight shots. The BFWD felt like an old school sealant/wax in that it was a bit oily and smelled like petroleum distillates. I can say that it was really slick and tremendously easy to apply. I have a rather large car with lots of acreage and I was able to apply the product quite rapidly and it wipes off like a dream. I want to let the two coats cure for a week and put two more on next weekend with my FLEX and a red LC hydro tech foam pad. I appreciate all the suggestions. I'm going to order some FK1000p and give that a shot as well.
 
I like FK1000P too. Of the few LSP's I tried so far, I got more praise when my paint was wearing FK1000P because it was so shiny and wet looking. The "another layer of clearcoat claim" is somehow true. I am on DG105 now. It has a clean look and pops the metallic glitters more than FK, but I have to give FK the trophy for gloss and slickness.

Did you wait at least 10 hours before applying your second coat? Best to let the first setup for 10 hours or overnight and then apply second coat for maximum coverage and durability.



No need for any further coats after the initial two. Unless you just like waxing your car. :smile:
