Is Durogloss sun friendly?

Anyone use it in direct/indirect sunlight?



Duragloss AW is sun friendly, at least in my experience. I agree with others in that OP wouldn't be my pick for final polishing after hours of compounding work, but it makes a very nice one-step polish on cars in good shape.
 
Well I'm an idiot! It took me about 6 pages to realize that this thread was started 2 freakin years ago. I was reading a lot of people disliking OP and didnt agree. Now I know that its because that was 2 years ago and the have changed their product. I understand that there are still some people that dislike it but I like it a lot. It worked damn good for me and I wont use anything but OC and OP to remove swirls. just my 2cents.



A WW that I didn't like wich people seem to love is that yellow one with the read satin trim. I can't remember where I bought it or the name but I don't think there are too many like that. I doesn't even last one vehicle. I have to use a different towel half way around the car. I havent really found a towel I'm extatic about thou.

No one really complaining about FK stuff either....



Well they aren't really the most talked about line here, but I like a lot of their stuff. I have read some negative things about their customer service though, which has turned me off a bit.
 
I really like FK's products and i never had a problem with their service

Most big company's don't have service like the little guys

Agreed. Both the AW and FC&S 921 quick detailer worked great in the sun for me. Haven't tried the 105 though, I prefer to apply lsp's in the garage.

Accumulator - I second your opinion on Optimum Polish. I tried it and wasn't all that impressed with it. I still prefer my SSRs, even though they dust more.



They dust... a... lot... LoL. I need to find a mixture that keeps them from dusting so easily. Has anyone concocted a successful mixture? :D
 
Zaino Z-10, the leather conditioner. I love the smell, pretty much the best scent of any detailing products I have but as a leather conditioner, it isn't any better than anything else I have used. Plus, being a cream instead of a thinner liquid, it is hard to apply to ventilated seats without clogging the holes.



Collinite 845-very durable (although for me not any more than Meguiars #16) but the look is a bit too bright for my tastes.
 
Off the top of my head, Poorboy's SS&S was underwhelming to me. Probably better than most OTC soaps, but pales in comparison to Griot's and a couple others.



Menzerna IP and FP didn't thrill me either, but I love PO106FF. I'll take one bottle of PO106FF over 10 bottles of IP and/or FP (and cost-wise that's probably about equal..lol).
 
Zaino- Not impressed, i have no idea how it had gotten so popular and whats with the layering fetish? What constitutes the price?



#83- LOVE it.......after you figure out how to use it......Its been replaced with OC.



Megs #16- What a joke. #26 looks just as good, lasts just as long if not better and i can get it anywhere.



P21S/S100- Looks great, awsome slickness, easy to use........lasts about 8 hours. Not worth the price.



SG- It dont look that great at all. What make matters worse is it is such a PITA to apply, its never thin enough! Not worth the price.



Klasse AIO- Great AIO product, just not good enough to justify the price.
