It feels thick and like the applicator is dragging a bit. The second coat was applied via pc and LC gold pad on speed 3 and it was effortless to apply a thin, even coat. Either way, it came off extremely easy. Sorry, but I have no ideas regarding durability but I have a friend who had one coat on his car for two months before he removed it and said it was still holding up strong. | |

I bought power lock awhile ago, but didnt' have the chance to use it yet. I will find a dark car for a 1-step polish, then apply power lock and show you guys later
hey Ken, do you think I should apply a layer of 845 over power lock?

For my white car, I still like DG501/601/105 combo. but I hate light colour car, I tend to over use products because I can't see what i am doing.

The paint on that Audi looks super slick!!
Do you have to wait between applying coats or can you just apply one directly after the other?

If its your own car, I'd apply one coat in the early evening and remove and then apply the second coat the next am. | |

Posted via RS Mobile | Since I posted this I have done another 5 or 6 cars with Powerlock and am quite fond of it. I found that after a couple days on dark solids the depth increases significantly and looks fantastic. At this point, I'd say Powerlock looks better but the durability is still a question mark although a detailer I know has gotten 3 months out of a coat before he removed it. | |
