Gloss Boss Ceramic Coating Review – Pro Results, No Compromise

Quick Answer: Gloss Boss is a wipe-on ceramic coating that delivers professional-grade protection, deep gloss, and up to 5 years of durability—all without the usual headaches of coating application.

Gloss Boss was developed to give both pros and DIYers a real ceramic coating without needing heat lamps, expensive prep, or hours of training. The results? Real-world durability, insane gloss, and total surface versatility.

What Is Gloss Boss?

Gloss Boss is a high-solids, wipe-on ceramic coating designed for paint, glass, trim, wheels, and more. It’s not a ceramic spray or sealant—it’s a true coating in a simplified format.

  • Wipe-on, level, walk away application
  • 5-year durability under proper maintenance
  • No infrared curing required
  • Leaves a slick, glossy, hydrophobic finish

What Makes Gloss Boss Different?

  • True SiO₂-based ceramic protection – Bonds to the surface, doesn’t just sit on top like a spray
  • Forgiving application – Wide leveling window, won’t flash too fast like pro-only coatings
  • Safe on multiple surfaces – Use it on trim, paint, glass, and PPF

Gloss Boss vs Other Ceramic Options

  1. Wash and decontaminate paint (clay bar or mitt)
  2. Polish or paint correct if needed
  3. Wipe with panel prep or isopropyl alcohol

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Gloss Boss a real ceramic coating?

Yes. It contains real SiO₂ ceramic and bonds to the surface for long-term protection, unlike ceramic sprays that sit on top.

Can I apply Gloss Boss outdoors?

Yes, but make sure the surface is cool and shaded. Avoid windy, dusty conditions and direct sunlight during leveling.

How long before I can wash the car after application?

Wait 5–7 days before your first wash to allow the coating to fully cure. You can use ceramic-safe soaps after that.
