Hello Guys
I have two new products to test and use this spring and this weekend was a case of getting on a range of products from a brand called "Gloss It". They have started to become popular in the USA with quite a few people on Autopia using them, they have UK distributer by way of Polished Bliss, i paid money for these products.
If you want to create the look i got from these products you can buy some 4oz sample size bottles in the UK, the whole set would set you back about $35-$40 and i a car the size of my Lancer will use about 1/3 of an ounce.
The products used were:
Gloss It Gloss Activator (increased the bonding of the Gloss It finish for more durability)
Gloss It Finish (the sealant)
Gloss It Concorso (limited durabilty topper)
Gloss It Quick detailer Gloss Enhancer (claims to be the worlds best).
All products were easy on and easy off. Must say you could tell a difference with the Concorso, i was a sceptical at first but it did make it look more glossy. The car is in good condition, and had been polished over a few rainy weekends a month or so back. But nothing ourstanding, there are some swirls an random nasties where i require a small pad to perfect it.
The real issue i had, and please take this in to consideration when looking at the pics was i did all this yesterday, and took the photos today. Alot of dust/pollen had got on the car, was this a Gloss It enduced problem? Possibly, the Auris with Wolfgang, much less pollen covered.
"The Worlds Best Quick Detailer" a stupid claim, IMO. No it wasnt that great, i used it on the windows and the whole car after the Concorso. It doesnt leave things looking as deep as Quickshine or wet as say Pinnicle Crystal Mist. A bit of an all round product that dident really do much for me and i have tested nearly ever QD around!
One thing i did notice with the Gloss It line was that it seemed to make my paintwork quite dark. If you want the darkening effect then this would be good for you.
On to the photos, taken this evening it was a bit hit and miss. Remeber all shine is acutally coming through the pollen, here is the pollen!
Here you can see some serious gloss added to the car, i would say this was like a extra layer of clearcoated was added, this become more "intense" after i applied Concorso as shown here.
In this close up the extra clearcoat look was really visable, i am impressed.
Thick, candy clearcoat look continues:
Which persists, even in sunlight when you often loose the gloss look for clear reflections.
Amazing reflections, but i dont think the car has EVER look this dark!
A few other snaps, glossy and quite different to alot of other products.
Its intreasting to find products that give a different a look so im liking it for that reason right now. How much i will like this product in a few weeks, i dont know. My car is darker, durabilty is still to be tested and is this pollen thing going to be an issue?
Im thinking, take my current Wolfgang Sealant and put on Gloss It Concorso and see the results!
Comments and critisim (how dare you!) welcome.
