Thanks! Like I said, I might try it later in the year. If they really felt the product was all that and a bag of chips they'd send out some small samples for a few bucks so I could do a 50/50. I'd hate to hand over $50+ only to find out there's no visible difference.

Car Pro did hand out samples (10mil) at SEMA.

I did not not notice much difference of using the Gliss on top of the UK/TiO2 that is on the front bumper of my daily driver. Although the paint on the front bumper is silver. Same can be said about Gliss on the black pillars doing a side by side comparison to the other which has the same UK/TiO2 combo. Cruz hooked me up with his 10ml SEMA sample that he got. I have to do more testing with Gliss on my personal cars.

I think many are getting a wrong impression of GLISS. The main benefits of applying GLISS aren't gloss (it does boost it a bit, but very little compared to already glossy coatings underneath). The main reasons to apply Gliss is to get a slickrt surface and much better water spotting resistance, two shortcomings of many traditional SiO2 based coatings. ;)

EXACTLY !! Gliss ( means slick in French) made mostly to refresh back the slickness , hydrophobic, and water spots protection to the surface. it can be used alone for enthusiastic or entry coat, or topped any other coat.
SUPER easy to use , almost wipe on - wipe off, and very economic .
the gloss is only extra benefit .
 
Here is a great video review done in Australia by one of our customers
one thing though , we dont recommend using the Gliss on top of the Essence Plus, since the ES+ is already suppose to be final step and hydrophobic.
please watch in HD

Think when they do a new clearcoat that is better on all parts than the ceramic coatings and top coatings ever can be. You can not get more gloss and shine and no better water contact angle and not more scratch resistant. That the clearcoat already is so we working backwards when applying something on it. What a nightmare!

No.... Who says the original clear coat is as glossy and perfect as it can get first of all? 2nd, leaving a bare clear-coat thats exposed to the elements is the worst thing you could do to it.

Not many yet as weather has been meh to darn cold. Hoping to black out the chrome trim soon though.

The car is Midnight Black Metallic so it's a really deep charcoal metallic color in the day/sun light but black at night or on cloudy days.

Here are some cell phone shots:

Wow that is a beautiful car. So it has metallic flake in it? What have you done to it as far as polishing? What coating did you use?

I take all my pics with the cell phone

It's just that it is not developed yet. I just spinned on when a single coat that will do everything. So we are not working backwards now. Or some are in fact when to enhance gloss. Some wax are lowering the gloss level to a new perfect polished car. Maybe not the eyes can see it but when a gloss level reader is used. Then there can be so high gloss reading to bare paint that a coat of wax is lower the gloss readings after. But for now there is other things added to benefit a coat of wax.


Nice video Pan! And thanks for shareing your work. And gliss is an interesting product for sure. Carpro has a solid line of products.

Gloss level reader? Do you have a link to such a machine?
 
The guy from Forensic Detailing has one of those IIRC

Check out his site, I swear he used something to measure gloss.

Here's that video from Forensic Detailing where he uses the gloss meter, about 2:30 or so in:

 
I won't link it but google 'Rhopoint IQ gloss meter'. I can see these catching on as a way for car care companies 'to put their money where their mouth is' when talking about how their wax/coating / sealant is the glossiest product on the market

A good gloss meter is going to be my addition to the cabinet in 2018. I already use a modified version of Mike's intake form to report before and after and additional findings back to customers and I'd really like to show a measurable impact that can be quantified with such a tool. It's just another way of helping stand out among the sea of others in the area. Especially handy and impactful I think for someone like me who does this on the side mostly through word of mouth.
 
I think this is going to be very popular but wouldn't the readings change as the sun moves? Or would this need to be done in the garage with the door closed as your garage lights are always consistent?

I know this, after I completed the polishing step in my paint coating application last Memorial Day weekend using Optimum hyper polish, my built in gloss meter, my eyes, chimed in and told me I had achieved results!

How did I know you may ask, well it was pretty simple, my eyes teared up due to what I was looking at! I had to call my wife outside to look at the paint

Hi guys!

This week, I show you how to apply the brand new CarPro GLISS, a hyper slick top coat that was unveiled at SEMA. It adds slickness to your existing ceramic coating, and can even be used as a stand alone product. Better yet, it's easy on easy off formula will allow novices to start learning how to work with ceramic coatings, as the product flashes to a white haze indicating it's ready to be wiped off.

Enjoy the video!

I'm not sure if it would matter at least for the good ones as they measure the surface itself for clarity, reflection, etc. Todd @ Esoteric had some videos out there on the ones he sells.
