    Show car shine vs paint protection film?

    Show car shine vs paint protection film? I am considering having (at least) my front bumper and hood covered with a paint protection film (likely with SunTek Ultra or Xpel Ultimate) primarily to protect against rock chips. I also just bought some P21S 100% Carnauba Wax and am thinking about...

    Glossmeter Testing: CQuartz Finest, Zaino, Carnauba?

    I think that there is a lot of validity to that statement. Still if I were in the detailing business, I would try to find out. I completely agree that most/all of the customers won't know the difference between 75 and 90 gloss units. However, that doesn't mean that they would not place value in...

    Glossmeter Testing: CQuartz Finest, Zaino, Carnauba?

    Great. I hope it helps your business. Just FYI... if you are planning on using the Glossmeter I mentioned, shipping takes about six weeks.

    Glossmeter Testing: CQuartz Finest, Zaino, Carnauba?

    To be clear, Todd's quote was specifically related to the Rhopoint IQ, an instrument that measures DOI, RIQ (Reflective Image Quality) and RSPEC (Specular Reflection ) in addition to Gloss Units. IMO Glossmeters are best used to simply measure the gloss of product used and not the talent of a...

    Glossmeter Testing: CQuartz Finest, Zaino, Carnauba?

    Thanks FUNX650. It seems that Loach, FUNX650 and Todd Cooperider are all agree. Gloss isn't everything. I am not saying orange peel doesn't matter; however, if the least expensive objective tool for measuring Distinctiveness of Image (DOI) is the Rhopoint IQ at $4,795, I (personally) am going to...

    Loach. First of all, thank you. Second, thank you again. Third, this is just the sort of thing I have been looking for. Your numbers on the Dodo Juice products are appreciated. Your point on gloss meters only measuring gloss is taken; however, it seems that is still serves its purpose. For...

    Glossmeter Testing: CQuartz Finest, Zaino, Carnauba?

    The video posted by CarPro used 60 degrees. Whether 20 or 60 degrees, I suspect the relative answer would be the same. That is the glossier product would score higher. Glossmeters are used in the manufacturing process of cars and many other products. It is hard to image that are not used...

    Glossmeter Testing: CQuartz Finest, Zaino, Carnauba?

    I am not saying it is a world class glossmeter but at $133 it isn't the most expensive thing that I have bought for the car. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IPD2D2W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Glossmeter Testing: CQuartz Finest, Zaino, Carnauba?

    Is anyone aware of Glossmeter testing of CQuartz Finest, Zaino or Carnauba wax? CarPro posted a video showing the results of a Glossmeter on Cquartz UK (59.7 Gloss Units) but I haven't seen anything on CQuartz Finest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFxuy7Tmb7E I ordered a glossmeter and plan...
