I had a loaner car from Mercedes in my garage for the last few days and I noticed how bad the finish was, especially on the hood. So I figured I'd do a full correction using Gloss It products, and write a review. Once again the results were amazing....

Couple sun shots showing lots of swirls and quite a few RIDS.

(I only worked on the hood of this car)

The finish was perfect and finished after 1 hit with Evolution polish but I went back one more time to jewel the paint and ensure no holograms remained with Evolution polish and a black LC finishing pad.

Some pics came out a little dark and blurry in the garage most all of them were taken without a flash.

I have some videos of water beading I will try to upload later.

This car came out really great, I was pleased with the correction and finishing polishes from gloss it once again. After polishing I saw how clear glossy the car was and then gloss finish took it to another level. Depth, clairty and gloss are 3 things I look for in a finish and gloss it made this one all of that and more. These last few pictures with the plants reflection show you how wet and deep the finish looks. Hope you enjoyed[/SIZE]
 
I have never heard of Gloss It but the car looks fantastic. I hope Mercedes is going to compensate you for this.
 
LOL, a true wash and wax wacko...detailing a loaner.
