I currently have Duragloss 105 over the 601 paint bonding product. I like the idea of using a sealant and hope to get about 6 months of life out of a 105 application.

After doing some reading, it seems that the 'depth' of the sealant might be improved through the use of an additional polishing agent.

I now have a PC 7424 and will be going over my car to remove spider webbing, etc. My assumption is this will remove the 105 and I will need to reapply.

Questions:

1) Is some kind of glazing product compatible with the DG 105/601 products?
2) My primary concern is long life over ultimate looks. Therefore I would want to have the glaze under the 105 finish coat. Is that possible or are glazing compounds last coat only type products?
3) Assuming #2 is possible, what sequence would be followed? 601/glaze/105? Glaze/601/105?
4) Any recommended glazing products? (Please, no Holy wars).

Any thoughts, suggestion or recommendations are appreciated!

Thanks,
Steve

if you have a machine now, you dont need glazes....glazes are usually used to cover up in lue of hard work...your machine with the correct pads and product will remove the spiderwebbing....now if you want to use the danase wet glaze thats a different story as its not like a traditional glaze....its more of a gloss enhancer....

and yes, once you wip out the machine, you will be removing any product you previously applied...unless your using the machine to add layers of your lsp....but any polish is going to polish off your original lsp...

Yeah.... I was thinking "gloss enhancer", but of course I want my cake and eat it too, hence wanting the DG 105 as the LSP.

Ever consider 111?

Nope, I'm pretty new at this so not a lot of experience. It was my understanding that 105 superseded 111. Would 111 have more depth? Durability still good?

Thanks!

In my opinion, this is a common misconception. Depth isnt really from a sealant or a wax. Depth actually comes from the polishing stages. This is why so many people are amazed at the changes that occur after purchasing and using a PC. They return the clarity to the paint by removing any light disturbing issues such as swirls and oxidation, which detract from clarity, and rob the owners/onlookers visual perception.
Sealants and waxes do little more then protect that clarity. They can enhance reflection and gloss (to a degree).
105 supercedes 111, as in it a newer product, but 105 has cleaners in it. 111 is more of a pure sealant as it does not contain any cleaners.
Glazes, on the other hand, are a marvel mystery to me. Other then filling, Im not sure how they stimulate the appearance.

Layer on some DWG and then follow it with 105! Hell, throw in some UPP while you're at it, LoL.

Whoo-hoo, I now understand what you mean. Front bumper of my TL is full of fleabites/nicks. When budget allows, I'll probably have it repainted. In the mean time, I wet sanded most of the larger flaws and then took my shiny PC 7424 for a spin. I started with an orange pad and Chemical Guys Laser Buff (I was given a pint of this). This didn't seem to work efficiently, so I took a yellow pad and the Laser Buff to it. After working the bumper over, I was pleasantly surprised how the metalic flake in the Anthracite Metalic 'pops'. I thought the color was pretty before, but it will be awesome once I go over the whole car. I anticipate using a white or green pad on the remainder of the car.

Thanks for the info!
