Duragloss Application Instructions:
For cars that have a good shine, but have fine swirl marks.
1. #901 Car Wash: (1 oz. Per gallon of Warm Water)
Wet car first, then wash with Duragloss Formula #901, using the Duragloss Plush Microfiber wash mitt. Rinse wash mitt with clean water often to free trapped dirt. Wash roof first and work your way down the sides. Rinse well, then dry with a Duragloss Plush Microfiber Drying Towel.
2. #671 Swirl Mark Remover (#671 will remove old wax or polish)
To remove fine swirl marks, use Duragloss #671 Swirl Mark Remover, section at a time, wipe on wipe off. Apply in a back and forth rather than circular motion. Repeat if necessary.
3. #601 Bonding Agent:
Apply a thin coat of #601 Bonding Agent, evenly over the entire car.
Do not buff or wipe off in any manner at this time. #601 can be safely applied over vinyl striping.
4. #111 Polish Application:
Over the entire car, apply a thin even coat of Duragloss Polish #111 directly on top of the previously applied #601 Bonding Agent. When the polish comes in contact with the bonding agent a chemical reaction occurs which creates a strong bond to the clear coat. This is why the Duragloss Shine outlasts the competition.
Curing Time:
Allow the #111 Polish and 601 Bonding Agent enough time to cure.
This is a very important step.
Minimum Curing time formula:
Humidity divided by temperature times 60
5. Add Additional Gloss with #921 Fast Clean and Shine:
After applying 1 or 2 coats of Formula #111 Polish, use Duragloss #921 Fast Clean and Shine, applying and removing in small sections at a time. Do not allow #921 time to dry before removing. Wipe dry with the Duragloss Plush Microfiber polishing cloth. Surface should be cool for best results. #921’s anti-static formula reduces dust attraction. It’s ability to bond to clear coat finishes provides the final touch that will further deepen gloss.
Maintaining the “Wet Look”® with #951 Aquawax:
Use Aquawax #951 once a month after washing and drying your car. For best results apply Aquawax to a dried car. Do not allow #951 Aquawax to dry before polishing. Wipe dry with a Duragloss Plush Microfiber polishing cloth. Surface should be cool for best results.
To remove light dust between car washes, use Duragloss #921 Fast Clean and Shine as a quick detailer. This anti-static formula reduces future dust attraction, leaves a highly polished shine and increases polish durability. Spray #921 on a section at a time. Don’t allow to dry. Wipe dry with a Duragloss Plush Microfiber polishing cloth.
(#921 bonds to polymer polishes, like Duragloss #111).
Tip: Use steps 1-5 on your clear coated wheels to make them look their best, and to help make future cleaning of brake dust from wheels easier.
(To reduce brake dust by 80% and improve stopping power, purchase Porterfield R4S Brake pads at MyRoadster.net or ForMyMercedes.com)
Results: “Wet Look”® Shine with less work required.
Doing these steps will insure a durable and fantastic “Wet Look”® shine that is long lasting, easy to maintain, and provides protection for your paint from surface contamination and color fading from UV damage. Keeping that “just waxed” look with Duragloss, will require far less time and effort than using traditional wax based products that do not bond to clear coat finishes.
