Well I had a chance to try out the gloss it polish line at the detailing meet. I have to say I was not very impressed with the line on a rotary. The evolution cut had decent cutting ability, not quite as much as Scholl s17 or PF but did not finish down nearly as nice and if not worked really long it left some good holgrams in the paint. I added the pad primer as instructed but found it spit all over the car. the polish is quite runny and flased very quickly. I am waiting for Rich's rotary polish but as far touting this as a rotary polish, it is not a great polish. There are some great offering out there and I do not see myself using this as a go to polish. The evolution polish was nice but my go to for now is either PF on the Green gloss it pad ( which are phenominal) or Scholl s 17 on the same pad.
Thanks for the review bryan. Definitely fruit for thought. I have to try the gloss it pads and maybe pick up a polish sample kit. Thanks again for the review.
I have to agree. I purchased their sample pack and promptly sent it to someone else to let them have their shot with it.
I have to try my samples but will definitely keep your input in consideration when I actually use them. Thanks!
The results can be had. GI learning curve is a very high on the rotary.. unlike Menzerna where you can pretty much just go, GI you have to manipulate and use/develop new techniques to make it work for you personally. With that said, I could never get them to finish down on rotary either. But they're amazing on DA. Also, they're watery because they're water based. This means no fillers. Also, a little goes a LONG way on the DA and rotary. You can use two drops of polish for an entire hood.
They don't dust right? That's the main reason I was looking into them but if they finish like crap I don't want them.
As a group the curve was too high for most newbes and not a great starting polish. The sections I polished showed no hlograms but the working time on them is too long on a rotary and required changing speeds to slower ones and longer runtimes for better results. Although I know they are meant for the DA, GI seems to be pushing them more to the rotary gang which I don't believe is a good fit for the GI polishes at this point.
As above ^^ The polishes do work incredibly well even with the rotary once you've mastered them but due to the fairly high learning curve needed to master them we deliberately avoid advertising them as rotary polishes and recommend them purely for DA use (which they are intended really). I'm currently testing the new GI Beta range and have been pretty impressed - and these ones are alot more rotary friendly
I have to agree with Bryan and Clark. I have achieved fantastic results with GI polishes on my DA but have yet to master them on my rotary. I find that Menz and Scholl are just that much easier to get excellent results from on my rotary. Having said that, DA users would be really missing out by overlooking this polish line. You use very little product and they are water based so there isnt any chance of filling.
Paint correction is really primitive when you stop and think about it, why mechanically buff out the defects It's incredibly time consuming, effects paint film thickness, depth and clarity which can never be returned and there is a new and better way without abrasives being developed. Very true about filling IMHO - oil/solvent based polishes are best for final finishing to achieve a super high gloss but water based are best for corrections, thus why I only use Menzerna 85RD, 87MF and 106 now as final finishes as the entire menzerna line even PG and Power Finish fill 5% of the defects in the paint or those that are created by poor rotary or DA technique for a few weeks (from my testing and industry leaders) Saying that however, no abrasive polishes can achieve the depth, clarity, wetness, reflectivity and colour shade improvements that non abrasive products can such as Amigo, Glare, Toughseal, Driven to Perfection and Blackfire GEP amongst others,
