One of our most popular products, Boss Gloss, is a highly versatile quick detailer that can be used for multiple purposes. Whether you're looking to add shine before an event, clean off dust, use it as a drying aid, or even as a clay lubricant, Boss Gloss has you covered.
What is Boss Gloss?
Boss Gloss is a water-based synthetic detailing spray, perfect for both modern clear coats and older single-stage paints. It wipes off easily and streak-free, leaving behind a glossy shine. The best part? It works on wet or dry surfaces, including paint, glass, and hard plastics—even in the sun, as long as you're using the right technique and cloths.
Boss Gloss won’t strip off your wax or sealant, so you can use it after waxing to boost the shine and remove any leftover wax residue. You can even layer it over other detailing sprays to keep your car looking shiny for weeks.
While it’s not designed to provide protection like some other sprays (e.g., Fully Slick or Bead Machine), Boss Gloss is your go-to product when you want that extra shine, especially before car shows or events.
Four Ways We Love to Use Boss Gloss
At Car Shows
When you show up at a car show and need a quick refresh, Boss Gloss is your best friend. Here's how we do it:
-
- If the car is in the sun, take a Drop Bear cloth, fold it in half, and spray 6-8 sprays of Boss Gloss directly onto the cloth.
- If the car is in the shade and cool to the touch, lightly mist Boss Gloss directly onto the paint.
- Gently apply the cloth without any pressure, pulling it in a straight line. Roll the cloth upwards to expose a clean section with each pass, reducing the risk of scratches.
We use multiple cloths to ensure a clean surface for each pass—usually around 5-6 cloths for light dust. Always remember to switch to a fresh section of cloth to avoid any dust rubbing against the paint.
In the Shed
If you have cars that gather dust but don’t need a full wash, Boss Gloss is perfect for a quick touch-up. It’s our go-to product in the shed for detailing vehicles before shows or demo days.
We love Boss Gloss because it’s super easy to use and gives a smooth, glossy finish with minimal effort. It’s also great for preventing micro-scratches, as it’s very lubricating.
Just like at car shows, we use a lot of Drop Bear cloths to clean each panel and ensure the surface stays scratch-free.
As a Clay Lubricant
Boss Gloss also works as a fantastic clay lubricant. Thanks to its great lubrication properties, it’s perfect for use with our Fine Clay Bar or Claying Rubber.
Simply spray Boss Gloss onto the surface you want to clay, then use the clay bar or rubber to remove any contaminants. Once done, wipe off the residue with a Big Softie microfibre cloth.
As a Drying Aid
Boss Gloss is great for drying your car after a wash. Spray a light mist of Boss Gloss onto a drying towel like the Twisted Pro Sucker or The Big Green Sucker and use it to dry the car.
The product helps absorb more water into the towel and makes it glide smoothly across the paint, preventing any water spots. We usually spray 4-6 sprays onto the towel and reapply as needed while drying. Boss Gloss will also leave a lovely, glossy finish on your car.
Additionally, Boss Gloss is perfect for drying your door jambs. Just spray it into a Dirty Deeds cloth and wipe the jambs dry—leaving a shiny finish and making future cleaning easier.
