CarPro GLISS

Applied a coat of CarPro GLISS earlier this week. Applied it over CQuartz that was applied a couple of months ago. Didn't gat a chance to take pics of the amazing gloss yet, but we got a quick shower today and the beading was awesome. Very satisfied. Super easy to use. Here's a few pics...

Damn it, I didn't even consider this when I picked up my CarPro Reload.

Amazing results!

I was using reload. Good stuff. I waited until after several washes over a couple of months for the Reload to wear off before I added the Gliss. Gliss supposedly doesn't bond to the reload. The gloss and beading is great, but I'll have to see how long it lasts.

You should be able to wash off Reload using Reset > Tar X > Reset to get a direct application. I don't know if/how well Reload would sit on top of Gliss.

Let me know how it goes if you try it.

Love the water beads! I'm Cquartz'd with Reload and get great beading just like that. I'll have to try Gloss out the next go around.

how is the application process for Gliss?

Simple! Much easier than CQuartz. Flashes much quicker, so it's pretty much wipe-on.wipe-off. Levels out nicely. I am really impressed with the product. The gloss is amazing. Really brings out the flake in the black sapphire metallic.

I'll be trying Reload for the first time this weekend.

There any changes in technique for your MFT wash process post application? I know generally with coatings, you'll want to trash the MFTs as the liquid will cake on and ruin them. Most of the sealants I used pre-coating weren't silica based to knowledge.
