I reached out to Avi at CarPro and asked what is the minimum time to add Gliss on top is Cquartz coatings. His response is “If it’s hot weather, above 20c 1h is enough”. Hope this helps.
Carpro has some really nice products, but that 4 hr wait for me is more personal use than business use in my opinion. I love their whole line. Another great video Mike!
I really liked #Gliss 1.0. The durability and weird post application dusting were the only downsides. But I still think it had some of the best hydrophobics of the consumer coatings I tried.
Mike, sorry to ask the same question again but does the release of Gliss v2 change your top coating ranking compared to ADS Quartz? I am torn between going back to DQuartz/Glissv2 versus trying out ADS offering. Priority being hydrophobicity on a garaged vehicle
@ Hey Mike, I noticed that you had a TRW sign on the wall in this video. That's a cool sign man, my grandfather worked for them back in the day as an aerospace engineer working on satellites before they were bought by Northrop Grumman.
Like always Mike, your take on point and amazing how to. 1) It looks like SiC is a "better" coating than DQuartz, when you look at slickness, water behavior and gloss. Only characteristic I think DQ excells is hardness so not sure is really worth it, plus Im reading multiple complains on DQ durability. 2) what is your take on DLight? I know is new to say but you think is going to be a great coating or another DQ mehh... Your feedback is always appreciated.
@@briank.3539 thanks. I don’t have the answer but I would suspect it’s because if then unpredictability of the weather which may affect the flash time.

I have not used Exo V5 but i have used V3 and V4 and I would probably give the edge to Exo in terms of durability as it is more of a traditional coating as it did seem to crystalize. But both coatings can be used as toppers for any coating. Possibly as a maintenance up keep when the coating looks like it is starting to lose its hydrophobic behavior.
@@wendellthompson6470 two different coatings. Mohs is going to win in durability as it’s a full blown coating. Gliss is a top coat. Think Skin in the Synchro Evo Kit.

Awesome video! Glad to see CarPro still on their game. #gliss
Good to see carpro update gliss
One my older cars I've used 3.0 then SIC. The results are amazing, 2.5 years on and it's still like day one! Strong recommendation 💪
@@79blustone this is a great combo. Glad to hear it’s doing well.
A man of the people🙏 #Gliss
@@mram7714 thanks. I do what I can.
I love ur review and in depth conversation and demos. I won’t do the hash tag but I watched 😉 Have a good one Mike! 😊

@@gorillanismo I can say that the hydrophobic behavior is much better than DQ Go. DQ Go definitely needs a topper like SiC or Gliss.
Haven’t tried and car pro products yet that is going to be next for me #Gliss
@@markwilkins4706 CarPro makes great coating. Cquartz UK is still one of the best.
I would love to try Carpro products but, the not working outside is a bummer. What is the reason? Love the videos. #Gliss

#Gliss I’ve been wanting to try this.
That glizzy glock 5000
If i need a coating for my coating due to lack of slickness and hydrophobics, Im using the wrong coating.
@@rooboy99 most coatings are not slick. For example DQuartz Go and Cquartz UK are not slick. So some like to top it with SIC which is slick or Gliss.
@@MikeGDetailingC6 bydro lite is pretty slick
@@rooboy99 yes that is true. But some like staying with a brand that is established such as CarPro.
I wonder how it compares to EXO V5. It would be interesting to understand what coatings can benefit from being topped by these and where it’s a no-no.

@@MikeGDetailingexo v5 is lovely . Much better than most carpro coatings .
The only thing I think any carpro user wants to know is how it compares to SiC as a topper since original gliss wasnt good
@@TheOccasionalGentleman I’m debating on polishing an area on the equinox and test this side by side.
How does a coating become susceptible to water spots? Is that talking about rain water spots or actual hard water from a sprinkler or hose?
Would be for rain. Some coatings don’t cure as fast as others before they can get wet.
#Gliss it's a shame about the 4 hour wait. Definitely prefer to knock out everything in 1 go.
@@muckeyn I rewatched out the main guy at CarPro and this is what he stated
If it’s hot weather, above 20c 1h is enough.
Is it slicker than Exo v5 or is it about the same?
@@Aliumtinnie never used Exo V5. Only V3 and V4. I am not a fan of the GTechniq coatings.
Bro whats the easiest fastest curing coating you have used?
@@Juicefree full cure or before it can get wet?
Nanolex apx
Is it better than gyeon mohs

Thanks man I watch your videos GREAT JOB
@@wendellthompson6470 appreciate you.
Have used multiple CarPro products and have Gtechniq V4 but haven’t used it yet, seems to be a knock off/copy of another CarPro product!!!! #Gliss
