Does this make the back of the surface glossy? I like the matte-black/gray look of the product. How much glossier is it once you apply this?

It's glossy, not mirror like but definitely a little glossy. I know what you mean ant the matte finish. You won't get that, bit the sheildf actually provides better grip than without.

It will be glossy and you will not look like magnesium coated. But I think it is worth the protection that it provides. It does get a little less glossy over time.

It does make the material it is applied to glossy (including the Surface (Pro)). That being said, the actual texture of the material is matte. In my experience, all clear "screen-protector" films perform this way. A solid color vinyl sticker type protector may be the best for your preferences.

It's glossy, but hardly like the picture shows. I guess it shines if you look at it from an angle with light hitting it, but otherwise it still looks like the matte-black. I am just staring at mine and yeah it has a shine, but it is not "shiny".

This protector makes it rather highly reflective, they have other options available that aren't so glossy, but you'll need to view their website to see what is available.

Hello Shai B,ArmorSuit screen protectors are crystal clear and it should not look very glossy. Our screen protector will protect from finger prints, scratches, dust, and particles from getting onto the screen. -iTechAccessory

Yes, it does look glossy. You can see your reflections but it looks non-smooth type kind of glossy.

Gloss or matte finish? I would say neither. Once it is dry, the stuff is absolutely invisible. I put two coats on my new stone patio and anticipated some noticeable change. Nothing. You'll know it is there, however, when something capable of staining is eventually spilled. A little soap and water and the problem is solved. I saved the empty containers and marked them clearly with the application date. That way, I remember to order more every other year because the sealer is invisible and gives no hint that it is worn or fadding.

It is black and glossy, not exactly like the original, but still very good. It works great!!

I would call it semi gloss or satin. it did not seem to present a glare like a full gloss would do.

It's not matte or glossy. It's more like a satin or semi-gloss. I've used it for a backdrop.

haven't tried the matte finish - but the clear finish seems to have worked well!

I'd call it semi-gloss or satin. It's not completely matte, it reflects some, but not like a glossy screen does.

Gloss Clear vs Matte Black. Are both material identical in stiffness and thus protection? Or is one softer? And is one grippier than the other? Does clear look OK with the black phone (subjective)? Thanks in advance for any help.

I think it's more between matte and semi gloss. I can get some reflections on the screen with the TV off, but I don't notice them with the TV on. I have my set wall mounted in a bedroom.

It is more matte than glossy. It is not a cheap product and well worth the price for the quality.

Wax should make the gloss otherwise it's dull and chalky look only not really satisfied with this I did it but the look are not what I expected should have spent little more $ and buy Restauration Hardware paint look great or Benjamin Moore paint . No idea what you doing with it but regular paste wax in can for furnitures will look glossy.I use to do faux fini and trompe l'oeil murals in France because you find fantastic selection of paints color wax and more,here nothing, the price there are very high maybe will be no customers for it here. Still frustrating.

It is definitely not a matte finish; tape appears glossy to me. It is the same package and tape sold in office store- only cheaper here.

It's not much of a gloss but there is a little. I had to really inspect it to see if there was that is how little is on there. I kept mine white that's why I didn't know if there was or not until now.

I've seen it done before. As for doing it myself, I have not. However I am very happy with this product and the black color that I have under this. You have the ability to add as much or as little gloss as you want to get the look you are going for. I would say do it! :-)

It does give a high gloss finish we have used it on many wood projects. As far as a super all I can say it does have a glossy finish. Hope this helps the last project we used it on was french doors and they look wonderful.

I do not know about that surface, it sounds like it is not smooth. The material used does not have a sticky backing...it is static cling. Mine was applied to a painted surfaces.

I wouldn't call it a gloss finish. It's a "satin" finish. Not gloss at all.
