    Re: Please chime in on CarPro Gliss v2...

    Do these things need to be applied to coating to bond? They sound like modern sealants to me, I'd be interested if they could be slapped on top of some Blackfire one-step or similar. I just can't quit my AIO's.

    Coatings need to bond to bare paint or in some cases coatings can bond to a primer polish.

    I think that you still need a preped paint to apply it on. It may have to do with what Blackfire One Step Finish AIO has for kind of protection in it. If you can get off the oils it may bond to it. Will be try to see if it works and how long it would last.

    I mean these top coats specifically. Gliss, skin, etc. I'm curious if they specifically need a coated surface to bond or if they're substantive like most sealants.

    They are essentially coatings so they need to bond to bare paint. Skin is not available other then getting Syncro.

    More info on Gliss straight from CarPro

    Q. Does Gliss perform as sealant or a coating?

    A. It is a lighter version of the CQuartz coatings

    Q. Can it be used on top of Reload, Essence Extreme, or Essence Plus?

    A. No since they will not allow the coating to bond to the surface.

    Q. Can you use it as stand alone coat?

    A. Yes its very easy to use and will bond well on bare paint.

    Q. Do you need to use Eraser pre coat?

    A. Yes to ensure the surface is free of any oils that will prevent the coating from bonding. If a wax or sealant has been previously applied to the surface they will need to be stripped as Eraser will not remove them.

    This was common practice before Gliss came out. It is a decent combo. The theory according to Cory is the hardness of UK with the stain resistance of TiO2.

    That really has nothing to do with whether or not people with nice cars come see you. A bunch of terrible shops that charge hundreds of dollars only to put swirls all over Ferraris are in my city. Anyway....

    Avi, or anyone else, with all the extra stuff that is going under and over Cquartz now, is the 2 year+ life of the actual coating still expected? I got 2.5 years out of Cquartz OG (non-UK) on my car that I kept outside and really want to make sure I get another 2 years out of this next application on my own car. I searched like crazy to find anyone who verified that 2 years is still expected with Essence + Cquartz and didn't really find much, but it appears I can't find anything on such a claim with all three.

    I see no reason why you would lesson the life of Cquartz. If anything it may last longer with the sacrificial layer over top of it. Part of my spring clean up packages for my previous coating customers is to lighly nano-mitt the vehicle and revitalize the coatings and even my Gliss/Skin vehicles come back to new once fully decontaminated.

    That's a very good idea brother! Do you mind sharing the steps? Wash, mechanical decon, top up?

    No, it’s because I do good work and the word of mouth gets lots of references to their friends. Funny how they keep coming back. Dumb comment but carry on Mr internet expert.
