It has a unique glow. The only thing is it looks best on a finish that is corrected well. It's refraction shows defects still left.

John, You have street cred here. I have seen your work, and it is very good by any standard. I gotta be honest I have read and listened to some Gary Dean ad/info and it seems that one product does everything? I think it is even a dessert topping right? (JUST KIDDING DO NOT EAT)

The following lifted from his website:
This ONE amazing product will detail and protect your entire vehicle inside and out!
This magical concoction of detailing juiciness concentrate has a plethora of wonderful uses, including, but not limited to: Rinseless Wash, Waterless Wash, Water Softener, Detail Spray, Spray Wax, Clay Bar Lubricant, Interior Wipe, and Glass Cleaner. Use it straight to dress your tires, leather, plastic, engine bay, and trim. How awesome is that? Well, I say its pretty friggin awesome, but don't just take my word for it try it for yourself.

Directions: For rinseless wash and water softener, add 1oz (4 capfulls) to 4 gallons of water. When using as a water softener, add 1oz to your wash bucket in addition to your soap. Add 1/2oz (2 capfulls) to 24oz of distilled water for every other use. Remember to always wash using the two-bucket method (see website for details) and always store your wash media in a sealed plastic bag to prevent dirt and dust particles from settling in which could induce swirl marks and scratches. This concentrate will not strip your wax or sealant. It is enriched with special polymers that add fantastic slickness and wonderful protection.

Use Ready to Use As:
* Waterless Wash
* Detail Spray
* Spray Wax
* Clay Bar Lubricant
* Interior Wipe
* Glass Cleaner
Use Concentrate As:
* Rinseless Wash
* Water softener
* Tire dressing
* Intererior and Exterior, leather, plastic, rubber and UV Protectant and Dressing

This is the first time I have ever seen firgging in an information offering for any product. Are you kidding us about using this on those anazing details you do? Dosent any non-filling/glazing sealant also show defefcts left behind? I can't believe this guy figured out something that Megs/Blackfire/Optimum or the others have not yet figured out. If I had to pick a product to use for all that, there would surely be some compromise. The only thing I could think of is a waterless wash like ONR or BF (the only 2 I have ever tried)

I mostly use IUDJ for touch up after a car is done. I use it as clay lube, rinseless and waterless wash also.

All of Garry's products I use don't contain fillers. For many years I was Griot's and Megs (still many times) for most cleaning. I tread with caution when trying new things and compare to my known product results. IUDJ has been a great do it all on the show field for touch ups. Yes the car is already prepared but they do get dusty throughout the day.
I use his specific Tuned performance tire gel for tires.

One nice thing is IUDJ carries the same polymers as his other products so things are compatible when touching up. When mixing products sometimes there is a noticeable change in "tone". I have not noticed this even when transitioning with this product.

I can say I've been happy with everything I've tried.

As far as polishing I'm Megs, Menzerna, and lately Blackfire based on how the paint reacts. I have used glazes at times to postpone corrections and have the car prepared and paint thickness is questionable. The drawback to Opticoat is you can't use them so not all vehicles are good candidates as
far as final look. It does show flaws.

The Dino was not the best due to rids and touch ups but the goal was to protect what was left of mostly original paint.
