    First off thanks Pektel!

    Regarding your statement...Yes gloss it is not a cheap product line but just compare it to the other industry leading brands and you'll see the prices are not so exorbitant after all.

    Zaino Z8 QD spray and Gloss It QD = exact same price

    Menzerna 106 FA is about $45 and the Gloss It polish equivilant (Machine gloss) is actually $6 cheaper at $39

    Gloss It sealant and Wolfgang deep gloss sealant= exact same price

    Gloss It clay is $5 cheaper than Megs professional clay


    I dont really see why you would think the prices are outrageous, surely not cheap but far from outrageous, especially when you compare it to other similar products on the market.

    Just my $0.02

    Some great work there mate, that 997 is so simple yet so amazing looking. Paint is looking fantastic! Not sure what to think about the tire dressing though, it looks greasy. Prove me wrong?

    I didn't even click on their professional line tab on their site. My bad.

    The paint correction polishes tab has these prices:

    Evolution cut - 27.95/8oz. (111.80 per quart :eek: )
    Extreme cut - 29.95/8oz. (119.80 per quart :eek: :eek: )


    The 32 oz. bottles are prices appropriately, though. That isn't bad at all.

    The finishing products are pretty expensive though:

    Concorso Gloss - 19.95/4oz. (equates to 80.00 for 16 oz)
    Evo Polish - 24.95/8 oz.
    Gloss Finish - 29.95/8 oz.

    Are these products really that much better than the competition to justify the higher prices? Or is it just marketing?

    I don't want to come off as ripping on the Gloss-It, because I have no such intention. Or ripping on you for using their products.

    Yep I detailed this car last Sunday. This past 3 days has been warmed up here and most of the snow melted, still some around though. It has not been warm enough to eat away at the thick snow.

    Thanks Piet, it really is a simple beauty! The tire dressing was Opti Bond gel from Optimum, the owner asked for a little more shine that what I usually put on his car so each tire received 3 coats. I much prefer the matte and satin type look dressings to be honest.
