He decided to move his business to sunny Las Vegas, Nevada in 1995, hired a chemist and began to build the Gloss-It lineup of products! Today Rich offers a full line of Gloss-It car care products ranging from cleaners, protectants & conditioners....to polishes, waxes and sealants as well.

The ability to help so many around the country/world fuels her passion, brings her true happiness & she says she couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity.

Mix", which is a product to help save time, money and deliver amazing results!....now available all around the world! Jennifer feels blessed for the opportunities she has and never thought she would have gotten to this place in her career.
