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

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

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.

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

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?
