How to create a high gloss finish autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-expert-featuring-mike-phillips/85163-how-create-high-gloss-finish.html To create a high gloss finish whether youre working on a Toyota Prius, a Ford Focus or a Dodge Ram Pickup, it all starts with a smooth surface. So the first step is to remove any contaminants that are bonded to the paint using either detailing clay or a product like the Nanoskin Autoscrub Towel. Above surface bonded contaminants will often times be invisible to your eyes but you can feel them with your sense of touch. Lightly feel the surface of your cars horizontal surfaces using your clean hand. A second way to inspect your cars paint is by using the Baggie Test, thats where you feel the paint using a clean sandwich baggie over your hand. If you feel any type of bumps on the paint this means you need to remove these contaminants before polishing and waxing. A lot of times your cars paint will look shiny but you can increase the shine and the gloss by claying. Heres an example.... To most people that look at this show car, it looks like it has a show car finish and theres simply no way there could be anything wrong with the paint. But take a look at the contaminants I removed after claying ONLY the hood scoop. -Mike Phillips
