Serious Performance Ultra Gloss Show Detailer V3

What Is It?

Ultra Gloss Show Detailer Version Three (!) from Serious Performance

What Does It Bring to the Table?

Serious Performance Ultra Gloss Show Detailer V3 is the latest version
of our incredibly successful and popular Polymer based Quick Detailer
spray that leaves a stunning, slick, wet look shine on your car's paint.
Water will quickly bead off, anti-static properties help repel dust and
dirt from settling back on the vehicle and light protection will help to
resist the elements between coats of sealant or wax.

Serious Performance Ultra Gloss Show Detailer is safe on all paints,
metals and non porous surfaces, inside and outside of your vehicle.

Contains no abrasives

What Am I Testing It On?

Here's two pictures of the car's bonnet before application...

What Do I Think Of It?

I have long been a fan of S.P. Show Detailer, indeed it usurped my previous QD
favourite instantly! Like many other users, I was stunned by its performance.
I can think of very few QD products that get better with a second coat. That's
not to say that the first one is rubbish, far from it!

Whenever there was a call for advice on a finishing QD, SPSD V2 has been a top
recommendation of mine. Whenever I've physically demonstrated it to people,
the response was always: "Wow!", as was the feedback from people who followed
my guidance.

So, with the advent of V3 am I about to be disappointed?
Short answer: "No!"

Today I was working in the low sun on a chilly and breezy day, so no problems
with the dew point, often the spoiler of testing at this time of year. Just a
few sprays on to the paint, and onto the deep pile MF towel and it was a joy
to use. No rubbing involved and the light water-spotting on the paint quickly
disappeared to leave the usual slick finish.

So now to the 2nd coat test. Virtually every other finishing QD I have used
has enough solvents in it to make 2nd coating a totally worthless exercise.
You get nil extra in enhancing the surface. Not so with the SPSD! I'm not
quite sure how to add superlatives in describing the finish and its slickness.

In this last picture I'm hoping to convey the depth of the finish...

OK, so to the burning question. What does V3 bring that's absent in V2?
To be honest, I have no idea! Having said that, I have a sneaking suspicion
that Alex has brought us a potion that's technologically advanced on V2.
Things that people like us rarely test, like extended longevity.

The most obvious difference is a change from the shocking pink colour to
a far more sober green. At least there's no longer any confusion between
this and another favoured QD of that distinctive hue. As previously, V3
can be used on plastics and glass to great effect.

I'm hoping to get some beading pictures fairly soon, and will post these up.

Pros

• Ease of use
• The shine
• The slickness
• The "Wow" factor
• Value for money

Conclusions

I think the Ultra Gloss range from Serious Performance range of products is
often overlooked, when, if you do your research, you can barely find one
negative comment anywhere. What that says to me is that Alex not only knows
what detailers seek, he goes out of his way to satisfy his own meticulous
standards, which in turn become ours.

In a very competitive market with some excellent products, the bar is set
very high and he more than matches it! SPSD V3 is just the progression of that
ethic and I heartily recommend it.
