I've used several of their products with mixed results.
Their shampoo is terrific. Their glass polish has some bite to it; good but gotta be careful with it. Their wheel cleaner is meh. I wasn't all that impressed with their sealants and light polishes; other products on the market are better IMO. Their APC and glass cleaner seemed no better or worse than other popular brands.
Duragloss offers a nice lineup of products. The people there are good to deal with and the products are quality.

I have not used any of them, but people on the detailing boards (AutoGeek.net, Autopia.org) typically have great things to say about DG products.
After trying dozens of waxes and sealants I tried Duragloss and now my search is over. Dg is one of the most durable and best looking LSP that I have ever used.
Here is a link to some photos of my car with Duragloss on it.

i used to feel the same as you about duragloss black bart, until i tried products by finish kare i feel they just are the very best out there.
I agree With Black Bart..I have tried alot of the top end waxes and sealants...even Finish Kare..and Duragloss out performed them...the new 105 sealant they have is the one to beat..
I have had it on my truck since July and it still looks like day 1 today..it has amazing gloss..beads water like a duck....when it rains it is like a car wash..dirt just rinses off...
I have tried just about every DG product..and they perform as described or better...for the cost of DG products you will not find better...
doing 1 coat of DG 105 sealant and maintaing with the Aquawax every other month will be one to beat...
have not found a product slicker..even UPP..
Duragloss created a sysytem like zaino..when used as a system it will go head to head with the best

Finish Kare was the flavor of the month about a year ago.
Auto geek don't even list it in their line of products anymore. People are looking for different things from their LSP some even like NXT but I got one wash before it lost the look. I think NXT has the worst durability of any sealant on the market but some like it. Those who have never tried Duragloss don't let others decide for you. Try it and decide for your self.
As to how it looks this past summer at the car shows I won 25 1st place awards and 4 Best of Show awards.
I think that speaks volumes about DG.

Ok, I searched for Duragloss products online and they look like they're worth trying. Are they sold at any stores or just online?
here you can get them at carquest only this carquest carries them and are deffinately not a mover..i guess the avg. person never hear of duragloss...i know one thing the wax and pre wax when applied car looks great the next day this stuff collects dust like you won't believe!! it just is a avg.product in my opinion...last about a month... the finish kare product #425 it is only a quick detailer last for several months and always has a glass shine even when dirty just wipe it off without washing an extremely easy to go on..auotopia rates this product as one of the very best i also like griot's garage products...
Most car quest only sell the 111 that is the old formula what you want is 105 car quest won't have it and they sell so little that you are buying old stock. I order direct from Duragloss shipping is $4:95 flat rate so I buy the FC&S and AW by the gallon save on shipping and it is much cheaper per ounce than buying in the small bottles. I have a Black ranger that I put 105 on about 5 months ago it has not lost any of the gloss and the surface is so slick that if it get dust on it when parked just drive it and the dirt blows off. I won't apply any more on it till next fall. My Ranger is parked in a garage when I'm not driving it so it can Easily go two years on the 105. Check the photos in the link I put in my post above the car has Duragloss on it you can see what it looks like.
Several have tried Duragloss and posted their opinion of it at Detail City you should go their and check it out.
Like I said above try it and decide for your self if it is what you want.
thanks you all i will look into it.
I agree with several posters here about the quality of Duragloss products. I have uesd their AquaWax, Rain Repell and Fast Clean and Shine. Rain Repell is a good cleaner and acts similar to the beading found in Rain x. AquaWax is suppose to be used after a wash and sprayed on when wet for drying. I much prefer to spray it on and wipe off after the car is dry. It is acrylic based and not a wax at all. It is excellent over polymer sealants. The FC&S has been described as a Poorboys SW on steroids. It does a good job of light cleaning and leaves a better shine than SW. The fact these products can be found at places like Carquest and Napa (some stores, not all) makes them among the best OTC products you can buy. Plus, the price is less than half what you would expect to pay for similar "botique" brands found only over the internet.
Duragloss makes a paste wax in a metal can Ihave never used it but I assume that is what you are referring to because the 105 sealant and Aqua Wax will leave the surface so slick that when your car sits out and dust settles on it just drive it and it will blow off.
Not much activity here but if you go to Detail City or Autogeek you will find that anyone who has used the new 105 sealant is happy with the results.
