    Tell me more about this line, it is kinda new to me, but I see a few members of this forum using it, as well as DW forum. What other line does is compare to? Any favorites, any must haves? Do polishes work well with Flex DA? This line is kinda expensive, and I want to hear others opions about it first.
    TIA.

    The only product that I have is the gloss enhancer QD. Its a little expensive but I really like it. I've also heard the EVP pad prime is a must have

    The polishes were formulated to work especially with the DA, but people use them successfully with rotaries with the right pad combo. The Gloss it Finish, Concorso and the QD are incredible. I also have the polishes, pads, and bps, but have not had the chance to play with them yet. I can tell you that the pads look and feel incredible.

    How does GI's QD compare to FK425?

    Good question. I will do a comparison next time I am able to use GI's QD. Right now I can't use it because my car is sporting BH AB, which hazes horribly if you hit it with this QD, but from what I remember last time I used it, it adds a lot more depth and gloss than FK425.

    Gloss It is like Zaino with better quality. Heres my rundown

    Gloss it shampoo is awesome
    Gloss Finish is a great product alone, I typically use it as a base for Concorso.
    Gloss It Concorso in my opinion is much better than Z2, it is much easier to use as well. I believe it offers a gloss and depth that is both awe inspiring but not fake looking.
    Gloss It TRV is much comparable to Black Wow with out the issues. TRV is water based, and thus it wipes right off of windows, and paint. It leaves a natural looking finish on the shiny side. This shine can be buffed back to more of a 303 type finish.
    Gloss It backing plates and pads are top notch, just try them and you wont look back.
    Gloss Enhancer is much like Z8 really. Awesome product.
    The waffle weave drying towel is also top notch, I have it and its now my favorite.
    EVP Pad prime is an awesome product which will bring any polish to a level previously unavailable. A must for jeweling really.

    Gloss It polishes are another world as well. GI's polishes are water based and VOC compliant already. A big change which will be happening by next year. Their polishes are designed to be worked at higher RPMs than other polishes. They work fabulous with a DA or a Rotary. The one step polish is an awesome product, as are the rest. With GI's polishes and pads full
    corrections are easily achievable. Further none of the Gloss It line contains fillers. If you are curious about the products you can always get their Full line in sample sizes.

    Checked their website out and the 4oz sample kit is about 130 bucks ... not bad

    The more I read about products here, the more I want to buy stuff ... :crash:

    I know the feeling :crash:

    I also was just on there site. Very Impressive

    I also saw the sample kit for $130, minus 15% would make it about $110...Not bad for all you get.

    :shead:I wish others would offer sample kits, That the #1 reason I don't buy more online. I can't tell you how many 32 oz/Gallons of products I have bought in the past, only to be disappointed :shakehead:

    Thanks for the clarification. With respects to that, is it something along the lines of DG AW then? I never used Zaino before.

    This pretty much sums it up. Rich has done his homework and brought forth a line of very good products. Rich at Polished Bliss said the Gloss it polishes are excellent on sticky paints as well.

    I have not used the entire DG line yet.

    thanks for all responses, I think Gloss It is the next line I want to try, especially considering that their polishes work so well on sticky paints.

    You won't be disappointed dude, but if there is anything you don't like (which I doubt) I will take it off your hands. BTW, last night I had a small quick job and I used their polishing pad with their evolution cut and their finishing pad with their evolution polish and I was amazed. I primed the pad with the EVP and it just glided on the paint and there was no dusting at all. The jeweling was a dream. These pads definitely feel really superior to the LC pads. Can't wait to do a full correction with these babies.

    Although the Gloss Enhancer provides a lot more gloss, wetness and depth than Z8, IMO.
