    Saw a 4runner today under the lights at a gas station and it looked wet, super shiny and wet. What kind of product have you guys used that gives that super deep shiny wet look?
    Glaze before sealant?
    Glaze after?
    Some kind of wax?

    Let's here and see!!

    The first and original "Wet Look" products are from Brother's Research, called Dura Gloss. Their two part Polish and Aquawax are what I've used since my 2010 was new. I'm still getting comments and questions about how my paint looks.

    I've called 'em with questions years ago. One of the brother's Wives answered the phone and put her husband (one of the Chemists) on the phone to speak to me. We talked like we knew each other all our lives!:oldglory:

    Modesta Glass coating, this thing stays shiny even when it’s dirty. If you could see the truck in person when I took this pic you’d see how dirty it was lol. The stuff is amazing but not cheap. 47BB2383-F054-4A16-9571-A73D48DEA133.jpg

    I think I'll try a bottle of the aquawax. It's cheap enough for a trial run. Even the gallon jugs aren't bad to buy if I end up liking it

    I use meguires 2.0 paint sealant and turtle wax wax spray wax.when I bought the truck I used meguires polish and a flex buffer and did a light buff job then switched to the 2.0 paint sealant and then meguires gold class wax.It is butter smooth and repels dirt great!

    I did run into a problem though. The beadmaker is so slick, the foam from my cannon didn’t want to stick.

    I’ll say the Bead Maker is the first product that’s made me even consider replacing Reload. We’ll see how durable it is. It’s a lot cheaper for sure.

    Yep,that's how I buy my Aquawax. Their spray bottles are good enough to re-use, so I keep one in the truck at all times!:D
