Default dsms detailed - Gloss It...the name fits

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)












After a wash and clay...








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
After correction w. Evo cut



50/50 shot '
right side uncorrected left side corrected









Post polishing, No Gloss Finish was applied yet













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







Love this shot..
























You can see the flake pop really well in the sun





















Some tight beading shots







My favorite



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.
