    I had a loaner car from Mercedes in my garage for the last few days and I noticed how bad the finish was, especially on the hood. So I figured I'd do a full correction using Gloss It products, and write a review. Once again the results were amazing....

    Couple sun shots showing lots of swirls and quite a few RIDS.

    (I only worked on the hood of this car, no other panels were touched)

    Correction and finishing process:

    Makita
    Evolution cut w. 5.5" CCS orange light cut pad
    Evolution cut w. 6.5" CCS green heavy polishing pad
    Evolution polish w. 6.5" white CCS polishing pad
    Evolution polish w. grey CCS finishing pad to jewel the finish
    Gloss enhancer wipedown
    2 coats of Gloss Finish w. the Flex and blue CCS final finish pad
    Another gloss enhancer wipedown

    -Extreme cut(Not used in this job) is Gloss It's most aggressive product. It cuts like a heavy duty compund but works more like a polish. I compard it to Megs M105 and it actually removed more defects in one pass than M105 did, and its not as finicky.
    -Evolution cut is similar to SIP in terms of cutting ability- works smooth and leaves a nice finish almost LSP ready
    -Evolution polish works well as a follow up when correcting and a great final finishing polish, its super smooth and works a little like Ultrafina
    -Gloss finish is the sealant from Gloss It, I applied it with a blue finishing pad and the Flex and well the results were awesome. It suposed to have incredible durability and it beads very very well
    -Gloss enhancer is basically a QD spray but acts more like a Zaino Z6 or Z8 product, smells great and doesnt streak at all. I always wipedown the finish with Gloss enhancer before and after applying Gloss Finish

    So far this line of products has blown me away, tell me what you think

    The finish was perfect and finished after 1 hit with Evolution polish but I went back one more time to jewel the paint and ensure no holograms remained with Evolution polish and a black LC finishing pad.


    Now for gloss finish

    Some pics came out a little dark and blurry in the garage most all of them were taken without a flash.

    I have some videos of water beading I will try to upload later.

    This car came out really great, I was pleased with the correction and finishing polishes from gloss it once again. After polishing I saw how clear glossy the car was and then gloss finish took it to another level. Depth, clairty and gloss are 3 things I look for in a finish and gloss it made this one all of that and more. These last few pictures with the plants reflection show you how wet and deep the finish looks. Hope you enjoyed

    Stunning transformation but you've got to know the next time you need a loaner you're gonna get this one again so you can finish it!

    Yea I found that its difficult to find one product, either sealant or nuba that has makes the metallic flake pop, offers a deep wet shine and great clarity all in one but gloss finish seemed to a do a great job.

    The products arent cheap by any means but they do work very well and compared to SIP/106ff for $40-$50 per 32oz bottle, Gloss Its extreme cut and evolution cut are around the same price for 32oz sizes.




    I wish:shrug:
