    Just throwing this out there for anyone that is interested in trying new products... I just applied Duragloss 111 (synthetic sealer) along with 601 (bonding agent). I'm AMAZED by the results. I can't imagine getting more gloss out of a product without machine polishing. This stuff is super inexpensive and it works. Super shiny, slick, and glossy.

    You can mix 111 sealer with 601 bonding agent in a 4:1 ratio (ex. 80 grams 111 and 20 grams 601). Mix very well. Apply it to the vehicle just like you would a wax or sealer and then buff off. Super easy application and removal. You'll want to mix only what you'll use, as the product begins to cure immediately when mixed.

    I mixed the 80g/20g and only used about half of it for my whole truck. I put it in a little plastic bottle that I actually found in the baking section at Walmart. It's made for frosting cakes or something. Like a little tiny ketchup bottle. Anyway, there is clearly some sort of chemical reaction that takes place when the products are mixed. When I held the bottle upright and squeezed it so a puff of air would come out, there was actually a little puff of steam or something that came out. I suppose it works similar to an epoxy?

    I've tried a lot of waxes and sealers over the years, but this stuff rocks. Not sure about longevity, but apparently it lasts a long time. Also available on Amazon.

    I've tried the 111 with and without the bonding agent. It's much nicer with the bonding agent. The directions say to apply the 601 first, do not remove it, and then apply the 111 over the top. But you can also just mix the two products together to save a step. I've tried it both ways. It could be subjective, but I do think it turns out better when I pre-mix the two products.

    There are NO abrasives in either of these products. It apparently does chemically clean, but minimally. I'd recommend claying prior to application. Needless to say... I am impressed. For a grand total of about $20.

    Aquawax is a really nice refresher after washes (it's kinda like Meguires Ultimate Spray Wax).
