For the past couple months, I've been playing around with the new line of "Premium Custom Detailing" products, engineered under the direction of Garry Dean. Thus far the test vehicles I've had haven't been great for showing off the results. Well today, I got the chance to do a detail with several of these products exclusively on a new client's 2012 Cadillac SRX. No clay or polishing was performed this time around, as this was merely a mid-winter cleanup. In the spring I will be doing a more in-depth job for my customer.
These pictures aren't the best (grabbed them in a hurry before I had to deliver the vehicle back to my customer ~20 miles away, trying to beat rush hour traffic) but they should give you a general idea. Look for more in-depth reviews to come later.

Overall, I'm really happy with the performance of Garry's products -- especially the Infinite Use Detail Juice and Tuned Performance Tire and Trim Gel are real stand-outs.
Infinite Use Detail Juice: I can honestly say I find myself preferring this to my usual go-to rinseless and waterless wash solutions, ONR/Opti-Clean. Not only does it seem to have better dirt/grit encapsulating ability for reduced risk of scratching/marring, it also takes even less effort to use; I find myself needing to use fewer passes with the wash media and the drying towel to get a perfect result. It also seems to leave behind a ton of slickness and gloss all by itself. On interiors, it also has great cleaning ability for a variety of surfaces including glass, plastic, vinyl, and leather. I was even able to remove a couple small spots on the fabric headliner with it.
Tuned Performance Tire and Trim Gel: In the testing I've done on my own personal vehicles, I have found that this dressing is extremely durable, even when subjected to road salt. The look can be dialed in depending on how many coats are applied, anywhere from barely any sheen to "used car dealer" shine. I prefer the look of 1 or 2 coats. Perhaps the best part is that this dressing dries completely to the touch with no oily grunge, and this means there is also zero sling.
As I said, I will go into more depth about these and some of the other products in Garry's line as spring approaches and more projects find their way to me.
DISCLAIMER: Lest anyone accuse me of "shilling" these products, it should be noted that I did pay for them myself.

Garry, if you're reading this I'll place an order soon for a replacement.
