If Clark likes the brand it must be really good.

Clark and WX51 TXR are both top notch, it's always a pleasure to see their thorough and precise work...

Interesting...it looks like Clark may be carrying the line as well...

I've never seen a place that sells a product not like it......a lot.

Not saying that is the case here.

Thanks for sharing the thread, I might have to give gloss-it a try.

True, but it's the places not using the products they sell hands on to earn a living that you have to watch. We work the other way around - if it tests well and we feel we can use the products to deliver the standards we wish to work too, then (and only then) do we decide to stock it. Makes good business sense, as the product sells itself based on its performance rather than our patter.

Playing Devil's Advocate in retrospect, many products (especially ones used on this site over the years) tend to "sell themselves" just because certain people decide to use them. It's called "Flavor of the Month" and it doesn't have to be a really good product sometimes either. Other than Clark, I haven't noticed any other distinguished detailers having much to say about this line. I guess time will tell.....

True. But in reality very few distinguished detailers have tested these products themselves and the few that actually have tested the products seem to give rave reviews. In addition to Clarks recent work with testing and reviewing the products there is also Todd Helmes thread regarding the QD. I would consider Todd Helme to be quite a distinguished detailer and this is what he had to say about the gloss enhancer QD...

His quote after testing it thoroughly and comparing it to top competitors...

"GlossIt lived up to all of its claims and really embodies an amazing all around product in a ridiculously easy to use package. Simply the best QD I have ever used."

2 of the best in the business seem to say good things.

So, (to keep this into perspective), out of all the free entire product line samples your friend sent out to several people around the world, there's been 1 person praising them and another liking the QD.

I also do have the products to test when I get a chance to test them. I have been busy with a few collectors cars lately so testing is totally out of the question. When I get a chance to get a good test car and put them to the test, I will report back.

With all do respect you and I have no idea how many samples were sent out, so if your trying to make a claim like "Well only 1 or 2 out of 100 like the products" then it doesnt seem feasible. And as far as you saying "another liking the QD", well that "another" happens to be one of, if not the most respected detailer on this forum and the 1 person "praising" is another extremely well respected and talented detailer from the UK who is now gaining global recognition for his work. Todd tried not 1 but several products from the Gloss It line including the leather cleaners and sealants and says that he really likes or he has deemed them the best hes ever used (referring to the QD and leather products)...as in clearly the products are of a high quality and perform as good as or better than the best stuff on the market right now. I can say the same for both Clark and Rich of Polished Bliss, who will soon carry the entire line of product and use it on all of their details. And this is only after they had thoroughly tested and experimented with them. Im not here to argue or convince you of anything David, but again you personally have never tried the products so its tough to comment on their performance or claims. Just because few people you know of use a certain product doesnt mean they are not quality. I do not want this to turn into a bashing match and I hope there is no hard feelings here. I simply am standing by a product line I believe in.
