Duragloss Application tips/method Options

[Maddriver]

Hi.. I guess it will be good for me briefly describe the application method in case you have forgotten..

Step 1 Part no #901 shampoo
This shampoo is really foamy..A cap for a big pail of water..If you intend to claybar..go for 2 caps to have more lub..Do not follow instruction..3 caps for a gallon.. You will have foam party..

After washing and rinsing your car.. Dry with a waffle weave or the drying towel you have.. For waffle weave user..each time before you use..soak into water..dry it and you can start drying the car.

Step 2 Part no #101 / #501 polish
Use a micro-fiber applicator..dam applicator with a bit of water..Apply polishes on to applicators.. a size of a 10cent coin is good enough..Apply onto panel..Thin layer.. hazy and cloudy effect is good enough..Avoid circular direction.. Need not use too force to apply unless for stuborn stains.. Apply whole car and wait for 5 minsto haze and you can start buffing off with a MF cloth.

Step 3 #601 PBA
This step is applicable to those using PBA..if you are not using it..You can proceed to step 4. For PBA..it is very transparent..you may not see the hazy or cloudy effect..Thin layer will do..Need not dam applicators with water..


Step 4 Part no #105
Use a micro-fiber applicator..dam applicator with a bit of water..Apply on to applicators.. a size of a 10cent coin is good enough..Apply onto panel..Thin layer... cloudy and hazy effect is good enough.. Haze for about 10 mins and you can start buffing off..

If you wish to apply #951 aquawax.. you may do so but not for #521 or #921 quick detailer.. Quick detailer comes in between washes or for fresh water spot..tree sap or bird poo..

If you have both #951 and #521 .. Use #951 weekly or bi-weekly..for daily use will be #521/#921 quick detailer..If you intend to have a coat of #951 aquawax..you can use #521/#921 QD to clean up surface and proceed to #951 aquawax..If you do not intend to use #951 AW.. Simply go round with QD will do.. Just remember #951 is alway the last step...

Take note..For #951 aquawax.. the result will be better after when is cure..some of use have notice the different on the following day..

Tips
Instead of dam applicators with water for #105..Spray a bit of #951 Aquawax on applicators or panel first follow by applying #105..hehe..dun ask me why..try it and you might see something different.

Or after buffing away #105..you can apply #951 AW on applicator and apply on panel.. apply evenly and walk away..No buffing require.. This steps require little bit of skill..hehe.. or else you will get unbuff AW stick on the panels..

Happy detailing guys n .. feel free to discuss if you have any doubts

Before buffing off any wax/sealant, can spray some QD first to buff off easier? That is what I do..

Yay! This weekend, all those who collected their stuff from me and MD, all busy doing uptheir cars alr!!

Jia you ! Kim kim for CNY !

For waffle weave user..each time before you use..soak into water..dry it and you can start drying the car.

Just to clarify... So I have to soak the cloth in water, then hang out to dry before it can be used? Or you mean that I have to soak and then squeeze out the water then use?

[Maddriver]

This is also another way as long THIN layer.. very easy to buff..

[Maddriver]

Paiseh.. soak into water..squeeze it dry and you can start to dry the car...After using..air dry will be good..do not leave it under the sun to dry

[Maddriver]

[Jerry]

[Latioboy]

for 101 and 105... i understand that we apply to one panel at a time... but buff off after 5/10 mins... does it means i got to buff off that panel after 5/10 mins? or i apply to the whole then wait for 5/10 mins?

[Maddriver]

Bro keen.. for #101..u can do panel by panel..if you apply whole car..u need nt really need to wait 10mins..I use it to prep surfaces..to clean up before #105..

For #105.. apply whole car..wait 10mins and you can starting buffing off

[Keen]

ok... thanks! is car wax a form of sealant too?

[Eviltrap]

Hey bro, how about the Nu-glass #755? Do I apply it like #101 or #501? Wet applicator then put the wax on the applicator?

I realises that if I use my MF cloth, the wax will spread all around my MF cloth and I dun get much onto the windscreen. How many layers must I put?

[Linchong]

Bro keen.. for #101..u can do panel by panel..if you apply whole car..u need nt really need to wait 10mins..I use it to prep surfaces..to clean up before #105..

Another newbie question.... Can #101, #501 or #521 prepare surfaces to such an extent that claybar is not necessary?

[Fedup]

Bro: when's yr next visit to Tampines?
i miss out yesterday on 30/1/08.
