Per CarPro's recommendation, 4 hours or longer after the either version of cquartz.

[QUOTE=Avi@CarPro;1555279]Gliss can be applied on Essence if its well dried , it will bond but with less life time .

To apply Gliss on top you just need good Reset washing and eraser after to remove the Echo+reload , and you can coat after with Gliss

Corey said to wash with Reset and TarX and wash again with Reset before applying Gliss. I like your way better, less steps.

Gotcha. Too bad. I can appreciate their efforts and 120* contact angle, but I have no interest in having to coat my car 3 times in such a short amount of time. Two layers of Mohs and then another of skin.

2 coats of CQuartz, 2 coats of Gliss. Gliss was extremely easy to apply.

Here's a video I took of the hydrophobia:

Just an update on my opinion and experience with CarPro Gliss. In short, I see it as a dud really. Application and slickness were easy and super great. FFWD to today 1 week later and it's first wash and I saw little benefit over just the coating alone. The hydrophobic properties were no better than McKee's 37 v2 or Cquartz UK or 22Ple. Call me disappointed as I was hoping it would really amp up this property but perhaps I'm looking for something that doesn't exist.

In the end I love CarPro Products, but this was not one that I'll be buying again. I actually really want to try Gyeon Skin but I'm not interested in using their entire system on my car yet. Too bad they don't sell just the top coat product. Until then, I'll stick to my "blue juice" ECH20 and Reload topper. Edit: I just ordered the Syncro Kit in anticipation that I'll give it a try on my wife's new car once we purchase it. Gotta love coupon codes when you're in the mood to buy!

Perhaps it didn’t play well with the Mckee’s coating? Were you using any toppers on Mckee’s?

I had mentioned this in another thread but I didn’t notice a big difference between Gliss it TiO2 side by side in terms of slickness or water behavior.

Skin blows away Gliss in my opinion. Too early to tell on longevity. But after a month Skin is slick as heck. I’ll be giving the car a full bucket wash this weekend to see how it is holding up instead of a rinseless with the typical D114.

This is just anecdotal, but we have had snow and salt around here lately and I believe that less salt is sticking to the car after the CQuartz and Gliss application. I applied the Gliss the following day after CQuartz. I have wholesale accounts and when I bought this I even had a wholesale coupon so it was really cheap. I have the Autopia wholesale account and a couple of others.
