Opinions on Gliss?

Anyone using Gliss on top of their CQuartz? If so, how do you like? Noticeable increase in gloss or shine? Is there actually less dust accumulation like they claim?

I am using it right now. It did not stop a bird dropping from etching the paint. I think it does keep the car cleaner, so I wash less frequently.

I just ordered some CarPro CQartz UK for my new truck and I spoke to Corey. He is including Gliss free with orders because they are coming out with version 2 soon but he needs to clean out his inventory of version 1 before they send him the new stuff. When you order on his webpage it does show up. So if you need some ceramic coating it's a chance to try out Gliss, but if you are planning on ordering it you should probably wait for version 2.

It's a ceramic topcoat for use over CQuartz. Life is supposed to be about a year and it is provides a slicker feel and sheds water and dirt better. I haven't tried it yet Kirk has.

Wondering if Gliss will work right on paint like Reload has become and is used by a lot of us here. Obviously would not be as cost effective, just would curious of the results compared to Reload.

It can be used as a topper or as a standalone. It will have the same effects as Reload but it will last longer.

Then you need Reload and top that with Re-Reload (2X strength!)

Gyeon is always good. I always have trouble with the aerosols. I feel like I waste some. Spray the applicator or spray the surface? Either way seems like I lose a little in the spraying.

Meguiar's Ultimate Fast Finish is another aerosol I have used.

The instructions say you must unload before re-reloading.

Kind of figured that would be the results, just curious to see a side by side comparison.
