Very much my favorite at this point!

Unfortunately, I cannot. I have a gallon of Duragloss 901, Meguiars Gold Class and Chemical Guys Citrus Wash 'n Gloss. The Duragloss is the slickest and smells incredible. The only downside is that I need to use 4 ounces for 5 gallons. The CG soap is only 1 ounce per 5 gallons but it remains a STRONG soap. So you pay a bit more, but you have a great maintenance soap when your car is wearing a nice LSP.

Water is on the softer side here.

PS: that 501 is amazing as well, cleaned up black paint very nicely on a white pad with the PC! Great product, even though it stained the pad, couldn't wash it all off... Well, I am sure the product was out of the pad, but the color remained on the pad.

No problem. Thank you for the additional input. Tonight I used a weak solution of Adam's in my gilmour foam gun for an initial soak, then the optimum in my wash bucket. my rinse bucket ended up with WAY more suds compared to the wash.

After the regular water rinse as well as the CRSpotless rinse, the coat of DG105 I'd applied a couple of weeks ago was still beading like a champ. Dried the car and topped with Dodo Purple Haze.

Another positive for the 501...looks like that's on the top of the "to get" list. KAIO stained my pad to a dirty yellow, so I guess a dirty pad means both 501 and KAIO are doing their job deep cleaning.

My DG901 bottle says 1 oz (3 capfuls) per gallon. From what I have seen, it may be fine at even half that.

I use 1 1/2 ozs to 3-4 gallons of water..and its still slick and cleans good...try different ratios and see whats works...5 ozs to 5 gallons is a lot to me...lol...I know what the bottle says..but stuf is pretty concentrated and I use less than whats stated on the bottle and its very slick and cleans super...I just think they want you to buy more faster....

I actually had use DG901 this weekend. My observations is that it seems to sheet better when rinsing and definitely leaves something behind. I have used Mothers too and it seems to clean well but but does not seem to have that sheeting factor. DG is more a gel.

I almost think it is too strong at 1 oz per gallon. I will cut back based upon AL-53's confirmation of this use.
