I tried some Gagliano's IMAGE 10 Finish Cream on top of Fuzion. Made a excellant Lsp that is very slick. Deep shine yet still reflective..... I'd give it a 8.5 .... The drwback is the cost. $49.99 for 4oz but you can use sparelingly and get good resuls... zzzzzz TOO easy to put on And even more easily to take off........

1 person mentioned it on a thread. So I had to do my investigating.

Man, where do you find this stuff? You are always posting up some LSP I've never heard of.
 
I have a jar of that stuff and never tried it. I had no idea it was that expensive. I used to get a lot of samples and there whole system was given to me. I might have to rethink it now.



Does anyone no if their three step surface wash is any good since I also have that.
 
I love that stuff. I've found that one layer by itself looks good, 2 look great and 3 is where it really starts looking amazing. I'll give my cars 3 or 4 coats in the fall and it will generally hold out till spring. It says something like 16 hours between coats but the results seem even better when I give it longer. Once I get a couple coats on there it feels odd washing the car because the wash mitt wants to just fly across the surface like there isn't any friction at all on it.



I find the results are noticeably better when I start with their precleaner but I'm guessing it is more of a glaze that fills in some before the top coat along with a bit of cleanup. The precleaner can be a bit of a pain to remove it you let it sit too long.



Their soap didn't blow me away, but mostly because there wasn't a lot of suds to it which may not mean anything.



It is expensive but a tiny bit goes a long way. I've managed to do an entire small car with just what was left around the bottom edges of the container.



I like the shine from it, to me it looks less like it is sitting on top of the paint like sealers tend to but is sharper than carnuba. Very clean shine without looking too much like a candy coating.



It seems to build depth faster than zaino, although its been 5+ years since I've used zaino.
 
So its a synthetic sealant? It has me confused because normally you dont put a sealant on top of a carnauba.



Is there anything similar to this that we might be more familiar with?
 
It has all the usual stuff about only putting it on the clean paint, I haven't ever tried putting it on top of something else. I've had the best luck doing their precleaner before applying it when it has been awhile since the last coat. I'll put new coats on within a couple weeks of the last one but after several months I hit it with the cleaner and then start over again.



To me it reminded me of zaino but with more depth, but it has been awhile since I used zaino.

It took me a bit of practice to put it on really super thin, it seems to work fine with it being such a thin coat that you can hardly tell it is there.
 
I use this product on the high-end cars that I do. It is expensive to use on a daily basis. I do use it on my own cars.....the product has lots of fillers.....at least it seems that way to me. The ''candy look' is the best way to describe it. As earlier described by a member. Overall I like the product. It doesnt address correction ....I like to remove surface imperfections, not fill them. But after correction sometimes I apply the finish cream and get that second to none deep shine. I compare this product to Zaino. Perhaps a might bit deeper. As for lasting a Winter in New England that is a stretch.
 
This product has been on the market for 5 years or more. I tried it a few years back. I think I have tried every product under the Sun. The consensus on the web is Nu-finish is tops.... please dont make me comment on that. I do the clients car, if they agree to toss that stuff in the can while I am watching. Sorry nu-finish. Nothing personal. On a scale of one to 10 Gaglianos is an easy 7.5. Zaino 7.5 or an eight. For correction, the Wolgangs is one of the best I have used. Perhaps a 9 if you know how to power polish like a pro.
 
that used to be my favorite, but I can't find it anymore, looks like the shut down a couple years back. I wish I'd loaded up on it more before it vanished. Their precleaner was great.
 
To find Gaglianos Search: "Gaglianos Finish 10" they distribute through a couple of sites. You have to buy the 80.00 dollar kit. The kit includes the wash also, which to me is useless. But so be it. The product does have lots of fillers...thats why it looks so good. After the fillers gas out in a month or two all you impurfections are back. That is why I like correction tactics. Especially for my own cars.
