DuraGloss TPP #105
I'm out of Meg's Color X for my 2011 DD and decided to purchase DG #105 after researching AutoGeek and Autopia.
Is anyone using (or used) DG #105? If so, what are the Pro's and Con's?
Thanks,
James

I use it on our vehicles and I'm a fan. After applying it thin to the whole truck & then wiping it down I was pleased at how easy it was to do. As far as durability goes it's great for me but my truck is garaged at night and i don't put a lot of miles on it so I'm probably not the best judge.
I like the look and I use Duragloss Aquawax in conjunction w/the DG 105. At first I used the Aquawax as directed on the bottle but then I switched to putting one oz. Aquawax w/my Optimum No Rinse in about 3 gallons of water. Really pleased with the outcome of this of washing my truck like this.
So, I guess ease of use, durability and appearance are all plusses for me not to mention the price. I'd consider it an excellent value type of product.
I hope you like it. I'd like to see some pics and hear your thoughts if you end up using it.

I used the DG105 as a LSP & applied it by hand. I used some Meguiars products for swirl removal (Ultimate Compound & SwirlX).
I think you'll like the 105 / Aquawax combo. I'm going to get out the DG105 next week myself for a little spring cleaning if the weather cooperates.
I see you have a tonneau cover in your sig. You might want to take a look at the DG301 Vinyl & Convertible Top Dressing. Makes it look rich & smooth and this stuff will not run onto your paint after a rain. I tried a few different things before I landed on this per someone else's recomendation.

I can highly reccomend Duragloss products, the TPP#105 / Aquawax combo is truly excellent.
I would suggest using DG#501 Polish bonding agent prior to using TPP#105 a great addition.
Duragloss is all i use on my Black '10 F150 CREW.

I made a typo I meant to type DG #601 Bonding agent, then the DG #105.
The DG product are really great to use and VERY cost effective, with excellent results

For specific polish & swirl mark issues I use BAF/Pro Car Care Beauty Products P21 Swirl Eliminator & Polish- although for 30 years I used 3M products specifically, recently I have not been as pleased with the quality of 3M’s hand glaze. I typically do not like "combination" type products but P21 is very, very impressive & effective from end result, ease of use & overall effectiveness.
Wax/polish...
The absolute best ($ for $) IMHO is "Satin Cream" (for dark colors), it is made by BAF & distributed through Pro Car Care products. It is very easy to work with either by hand, orbital or buffer. It has the same acrylic hardener as the high dollar paint sealants but it has 30% German imported carnauba....no, your arm will not fall off putting it on or taking it off & it has a very mild polish in it as well. Even parking the vehicle outside, the MFG gives a 6 months warranty before another application is required. I use this personally on my toys & daily drivers (which include a 1997 black Cougar sport) and all I can tell you are not even bugs like to stick to the paint- most of the time when water is applied they just float off- bird poop is just as easy. No smeary look either- very clean clear deep look. On my toys, I give them a fresh coat about every 2 years (literally, even for a show), my daily drivers (I have one that sits outside), I apply to the entire vehicle every 6 months, and do the hood, roof and trunk every 3 months (probably overkill, but I know it is well protected from the elements including industrial fallout)
BAF Industries 1910 S. Yale Street Santa Ana, CA 92704 800-437-9893
An excellent alternate product is 3M Perfect It Show Car Liquid Wax- a silicone wax/polish but excellent results as well, just maybe about 90% of the quality of the satin cream.
