DeFelsko PosiTector GLS 2060 · Professional Gloss & Haze Meter

Prove Your Polish.
Measure What Matters.

The professional standard for detailers and paint correction specialists who need objective, repeatable gloss and haze readings — not guesswork. Back up your work with data your clients can see.

⚠️ Probe Only. This product requires a PosiTector Standard or Advanced gauge body to operate — sold separately. All features listed apply when the probe is connected to a compatible gauge body.

Who is this for? Professional detailers verifying ceramic coating applications, paint correction specialists documenting before and after results, and body shops running panel-by-panel quality checks. If you need to prove your work — in numbers — this is the tool.

The GLS 2060 measures both Gloss (20° and 60°) and Haze Index in a single probe, covers high-gloss through semi-gloss surfaces, auto-calibrates on every power-on, and delivers a traceable Certificate of Calibration (NRC) right out of the box.

How to Take a Reading

Three steps — power on, calibrate, measure
1
Clean the Tile

Wipe the calibration tile with the included cleaning wipes. A clean tile = accurate readings.

2
Power On

Base plate on probe. The GLS auto-calibrates and self-checks on every power-on. No manual steps.

3
Measure

Remove base plate, place on a flat panel surface, press the button. Beeps twice — reading displayed.

Which Angle for Which Surface?

Use the right geometry for accurate results
High Gloss > 70 GU at 60° Use 20° Geometry e.g. Ceramic coated paint, polished clear coat
Semi-Gloss 10 – 70 GU at 60° Use 60° Geometry e.g. Standard paint, unpolished clear coat
Matte / Low < 10 GU at 60° 85° — Not This Probe Requires the GLS 20/60/85 probe model

Frequently Asked Questions

About the PosiTector GLS 2060
Why do I need a separate gauge body?

The PosiTector GLS 2060 is a probe-only product — it connects to a PosiTector Standard or Advanced gauge body, which provides the screen, battery, storage, and connectivity. This modular design means one gauge body can work with the full range of PosiTector probes: gloss meters, coating thickness gauges, dew point meters, and more. If you already own a PosiTector gauge body, simply connect this probe and you're ready to measure.

What's the difference between Gloss and Haze, and why does it matter for detailing?

Gloss measures how much light reflects directly off the surface — a high gloss reading means a mirror-like finish. Haze (Haze Index) measures the scatter of light around that reflection, which reveals surface clarity issues like orange peel, micro-marring, or the "milky" look sometimes seen after polishing. A panel can have a high gloss reading but poor clarity — the Haze Index catches what the gloss number misses. For paint correction and ceramic coating verification, measuring both is essential.

Does this probe measure matte paint finishes?

The GLS 2060 covers high to semi-gloss surfaces using 20° and 60° geometries. For matte or low-gloss surfaces (below 10 GU at 60°), you need the 85° geometry, which is included in the GLS 20/60/85 probe model. If you regularly work on matte or satin PPF and wraps, the 20/60/85 model is the better choice.

How do I use this to verify a ceramic coating job?

Take baseline gloss and haze readings before polishing and after polishing (pre-coating), then again after the coating has fully cured. This gives you three documented data points showing the improvement at each stage. The date/time stamp on every reading means your records are automatically audit-ready. Many professional detailers share these numbers directly with clients as proof of results and to justify their pricing.

Is the calibration certificate included, or do I need to buy one separately?

A long-form Certificate of Calibration traceable to NRC is included in the box at no extra cost — for both the probe and the gloss standard (calibration tile). No additional purchase required. If you need a fresh calibration certificate at a later date (e.g. for ongoing accreditation), DeFelsko offers recalibration services.

Can I use this outdoors?

Yes — the PosiTector gauge body is IP65-rated, making it weatherproof, dustproof, and water-resistant. The operating temperature range is 0°–45°C, which covers all typical Australian workshop and outdoor conditions. It's built for field use as much as shop use.
