Digger, 10 mls. is very sparse, even on a Golf. I would do another coat.

I had another look and the 50ml bottle is probably about 1/4 gone - so 12.5ml. I did a complete coverage of the paint - no Glass or anything. There is not much paint work to be honest.
I could see it go on quite well and it all hazed over nicely, so am reasonably confident I got complete coverage.

Next to go is a 190E Mercedes, so ill see how much Gliss I use on this, as has about 25% more paint on it than a Golf at a rough estimate ( bigger trunk and bonnet area).
 
Txs, now I'm going to have to try it.:xyxthumbs:
 
Tried out some gliss today on the areas of my daily driver that have the UK/TiO2 combo. Really easy to apply and level out. Flashes fast. It is slicker than UK and just a tad slicker than TiO2. I will see how gliss does with dusting with the anti-static properties it has. It does feel slicker than reload.

How is the gloss in comparison to UK or Tio2?

Their version of Polish Angels "High Gloss"?
 
CQ Pro with Gliss topper is just ridiculous!! Love the stuff... then again, what comes from CarPro that isn't worthy of much praise??

One thing I noticed is that in a side by side comparison with TiO2, Gliss had the same amount of dust build up. So not sure about the anti static properties that it is supposed to have. This may be a fluke given that we are having santa ana winds blowing dust around and all the junk in the air with the fires still going on.

Do you find UK to waterspot and attract dust more than Tio2?

I just recently used both but topped UK with TiO2 so I can’t really say. It also doesn’t rain much here in Southern California.

Dusting is the thing we deal with here the most. Dusting is about the same with most products I use or have used.

I was kinda under the impression it was their version of Gyeon Booster...both kinda fluorine top coats

Utilizing modified long chain carbon fluorine polymers and enhanced nano-technology, GLISS is an evolution in top-coat technology and the tactile feel one can achieve on a painted surface!

I find UK on its own to look better than tio2 and is more scratch resistant but can waterspot and attract dust.

I agree that UK does look better especially on darker paints. TiO2 looks better to me on lighter paints. I have read that UK is prone to water spotting and TiO2 does a better job of that. Possibly due to UK having a higher silica content. I believe that is what I read. Which is why it became popular to use UK as a base layer as it cures harder and faster and TiO2 as the top layer to help against water spotting. This is the combo I have been playing around with recently.

Now with Gliss out, it is supposed to help with water spotting. But I read that it will not add any hardness on top of the base layer coating.

The applicator I used with gliss did not get hard like it does with UK or TiO2.

After decontaminating with CarPro Iron X, washing with GTechniq W2 and then using CarPro eraser, applied the new CarPro ‘Gliss’ with great results. Easy to use and apply, looking forward to seeing how it holds up
