Default High Gloss Polish

Can anyone recommend a premium high gloss polish? I was on Gary's site & would rather try a premium polish than a wax. There are just so many out there! Right now I'm using Maguire's Gold Class.

Thanks

Mike, first of all I don't sell a wax on my site, I have a two step process, a cleaner (which has polish in it) and a synthetic sealant. When you speak of polish and mention Gold Class, you are talking about two different products. Gold Class is a wax, a polish is the step in the prep work that brings back shine but has NO protective properties. Don't feel bad, most people don't know the basic terms in the detailing world, which is why my clinics are so popular. If you are looking for a premium product for your finish, my 2 step will hands down beat any retail combo on the market. if you have a specific problem with your finish that needs attention, let me know and I will try to help. GARY

Thanks Gary. So basically, your "Ultimate Paint Cleaner" is step 1 & the "Professional Paint Sealant" is step 2. This should get me the super high gloss showroom shine that I'm looking for? I want want people to see it & say "damn that Cruiser is shiny!"

Do you recommend applying it by hand or can I use my orbital buffer?

Oh, & one other question, I hate to apply protectant on my tires cause it flies all over the place when I drive. So I started to spray just a little on a shop towel & apply a thin coat, let it dry, then do it again, let it dry, then wipe off any excess. That process seems to be working well, hardly get any fly-off now, but I give up the extreme shine. Any suggestions?[:I]

Mikey

Garys products are the best around, when I think my car is dirty and start to wash it, I have had people say, "Why are you washing it, it's so clean already". I am a convert to his products.

As far as tire sealant, Gary's Ultimate Dressing does NOT leave a glossy finish, but it also does NOT contain any petroleum products that can break down the rubber.

A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER

HOOLIGAN, I will send you the $50 for that nice commerical. (lol) anyway, Mike, just a couple of things. yes my cleaner and sealant is the 2 part application for the ultimate shine. Now your dressing delema. The problem with the sling you are talking abour occurs with SOLVENT based trie dressing. That is one reason why dressings get a bad rap, due to that fact. My dressing is water based, no sling, no grease, no slime, just protection. I feel for you though, most people don't even know about the difference in dressings. I would strongly suggest trying mine. It gives a satin look, more natural. Here is how to apply it. On a clean WET tire. Spray on the tire, do not remove excess. Allow to air dry, it will look milky while at first, then dry clear to a nice satin look. if overspray gets on the finish or the wheel. don't worry, it won't harm anything. Welcome to the professional world of detailing. Gary[^][:X]

Thank Gary! Keep an eye out for my order of those three items.
It might take me a week or two though, money is kinda tight right now. I'm a starving artist in every sense of the word!

Mikey,I've used Gary's products for a long while now and
couldn't be happier. You should also try his chrome sealer.
It's simply the best in my book.

Gary,
I have Diamondback whitewalls with a 2 1/4" white strips. Can your tire dressing which I have be used on them?

Bluewasp, yes it can, along with that you can use it on wheel wells, rubber door jams, dash, door side panels, all plastic and rubber, engine bay, did I miss something? because it's water based it's extremely versatile. Gary

Gary, With all those uses perhaps you should sell 1 gallon refill containers. Thanks for the info. and the provision of quality products.
