FMINUS Detailed: A couple of Maint details

Work has been crazy for the past month so I have been holding off some FULL correction details, this week let up a little so I decided to work on the wife's TSX and also a regular's 550. The owner of the 550 brings his car back every month for maint, the initial full correction was done almost a year ago, the paint still almost looks flawless. It just shows with correct washing techniques even a JET BLACK car and keep swirl FREE!

TSX was done w DG 501 and the 550 was done w ZHD cleanse and Z Vintage

that 550 is amazing!

BayerischeMW · 05-28-2008, 10:20 PM

FMINUS: how do you like 501? is it easy to work with? is it a cleaner but with slight protection like 101, or more like a sealant with slight cleaning like 105? thanks!

ohsnap · 05-29-2008, 04:15 PM

absolutely amazing!

Chris J · 05-29-2008, 10:03 PM

what is DG 501? Duragloss polish? sorry if dumb question

BayerischeMW · 05-29-2008, 10:13 PM

Duragloss 501 is like an AIO. it has heavy cleaners, but leaves long lasting protection on top.

Chris J · 05-29-2008, 10:20 PM

i assumed it was duragloss but when i checked the website i cant find anything with a part number 501???

BayerischeMW · 05-29-2008, 10:23 PM

that's because it's a Marine and RV product: http://www.duragloss.com/product.asp?pid=308

people use it on cars as well since it supposedly is paint safe, on duragloss.com it reads: "Formulated to clean, polish and protect fiberglass, metal and painted surfaces."

Chris J · 05-29-2008, 10:26 PM

thanks for the info man. Didnt know you could do that. Ever tried it?

BayerischeMW · 05-29-2008, 10:31 PM

no problem

no, i haven't tried it yet, that's why i want FMINUS' review on it. i had planned to go with Duragloss 101 and then 105, but i keep hearing 501 instead of 101 as 501 cleans better and lasts longer.

Chris J · 05-29-2008, 10:34 PM

a little off subject but do you know what the best website is to get some of this stuff? I want to try out some polishes but the prices....well you know.

BayerischeMW · 05-29-2008, 11:39 PM

www.detailedimage.com is a great site (they're a sponsor on this forum), they carry almost everything

try www.duragloss.com for Duragloss!
