Please chime in on CarPro Gliss v2...

[TTQ B4U]

I have a bottle of Gliss v2 in route but would love to hear from those that have used it, especially in comparison to v1 on how it performs from a hydrophobic property standpoint. I have been using Cquartz UK 3.0 extensively and love it. Very solid product and ease of use thanks to new carrier solvents is great. Adding Gliss v2 to the mix if it's as hydrophobic as GYEON's Skin inside the Syncro Kit would be awesome. It would save me loads of time being able to complete just two layers vs three and allow me to change up my package pricing a bit.

Any first-hand insight on them would be appreciated.

Interested to hear your thoughts once you get it. I am waiting for the newly designed bottles to be out before I pick some up.

The CarPro US site states the contact angle of it to be 115. So far for me V1 has surpassed the performance of Skin.

I was hoping you would come here :)

I will. I confirmed with the source I ordered from that while the new label design isn't out yet, that CarPro is shipping them v2 with a lable added to the box. I'll know pretty quickly if it's the same or different. My plan is to use my wife's car as a test mule. The hood will have 3 sections, Skin, Gliss v1 and Gliss v2

Stay tuned.

Following. Will AG ever carry Gliss?

Its more durable than v1 , solvent resist , water spots resist ( as much as possible) , its basically a coat .
here is great video to see how its applied and perform :

I hope Autogeek will start stocking it soon..

Will let ya know in a few days...polishing with Essence now, hopefully 2 coats of UK 3 tomorrow, Gliss V2 after that.

Any updates to this thread?Havent had a chance to really see it in anything but snow. Did come back after a long drive in the rain and I seem to recall seeing it the next day and noting how clean it looked, all things considered.

It was a relatively slick surface after application, a nice glossy look without being excessively candy-ish. Will be looking forward to the next rain but that might not be for another 2 weeks with the current temperature forecast.

Would be cool to hear more, I just watched a bunch of videos.

I just cant wrap my head around the coating for a coating concept. I understand after my reading and video watching what Gliss does, but it has to be applied as a coating to a coating.

Mind is blown.

I'd almost prefer coating and follow up with a Si02 detailer.

Will be interesting to hear if the work is worth the improvement.

I agree with you here. I'm not sure why I would mess with Gliss, Skin, EXO, or any of the other coatings you put on top of a coating. I've had a good experience simply appling the coating, keeping it clean, and wiping it down with a quality drying aid after a wash. It always looked good and durability exceeded my needs.

I'm not convinced I need to speed the extra money and time on these products.

The benefit to Gliss and Skin is to add another sacraficial layer
Adds more gloss
Adds a more hydrophobic performance/dirt resistance and a slicker feel
Adds greater resistance to water spots



I personally sell it as a big factor for vehicles that are not garaged or for someone who really wants the maximum performance in terms of water sheeting and clean-ability.

I've not tried Gliss v2 yet but I have a bottle but Skin for example has been on my car and my wife's CUV and performing amazing all winter. YMMV on longevity, etc but her car has been nearly 12 months and it's performance is very strong. That is further reassurance that the actual 2 layers of MOHS under it haven't even been touched yet.

I see your point. The things I note most about them both Gliss and Skin is that they are super super easy and fast to apply. 1/2 the time if not 1/3 the time of the coating. Goes on and flash very quick and wipe off perfectly with minimal effort.

I love the added hydrophobic property enhancement and I love the constant slick feel after a wash. No detail spray needed to get it.

Avi sent me a bottle of Gliss V2 but I have not had a chance to try it out. I also still have some V1 left. This off and on rain here in So Cal throws a wrench in my plans.

I have had CQUK 3.0 topped with Gliss V1 and it is definitely worth it. 8 months and the hydrophobic properties are like day 1. CQUK 3.0 lacks slickness and has been redesigned to handle water spotting better than the previous formula. Gliss leaves the surface feeling slicker and is designed to protect the base layer from water spotting.

One benefit for example is that I do not need to use an SiO2 maintenance product to maintain it as Gliss is doing the job of say Reload at a whole other level. Gliss also has the same contact angle/hydrophobic performance/self cleaning effect as CQUK 3.0 compared to Reload.

You should try it at least once.

Exo is actually a dedicated coating. Folks just use it as a topper for its hydrophobic behavior. Crystal Serum Light lacks that extreme hydrophobic water behavior. Exo kicks it up without sacrificing the slick feeling of CSL. Definitely a fun combo to play with.

Skin is as a topper has the best water behavior of any topper I have used. The slickness is great as well. The downside for me is that it's performance is lacking and by 6 months it has lost a lot of its pizzazz. I would not longer pick up Syncro unless Skin is tweaked. But I will say that the hydrophobic behavior of Mohs is a bit underwhelming and thus Skin adds that nice performance. Similar to CanCoat being used as a coating topper.

Gliss is right behind Skin and Exo. Gliss can actually be used as a stand alone as well. The only complaint I have about it is that it can develop a white haze a couple days later but that is easily remedied with a wipedown or first wash.

I for one have not had any water spotting issues with any coating I have used but these toppers are fun to play with.

Haze is common for sure. I am not sure but it must be a reaction to its curing. I tell customers to simple leave it be and resist washing it for 1 week.
