Actually, I guess I sorta do! While I haven`t tried the Juice Boost (yet
), ever since I started using IUDJ as a Drying Aid I`ve quit using QDs and, at least on the `93 Audi, Spray Waxes for between-real-LSPing.
FWIW, I use the IUDJ at slightly more than QD-strength, for *everything* except the stuff I do with the Tornador Black (dilute it a bit for that but it`s still stronger than normal RW-strength).
I do think the OCW gives a bit more protection/etc. and its UV protection is worth something on certain vehicles/items that I consider vulnerable. I`ll let some vehicles get *awfully* dirty/abused between washes, and the OCW does hold up better than IUDJ. Gee, "of course it does!", huh? But on something that`s regularly maintained (let alone to Autopiam Standards) the diffs are minimal.
No, I haven`t done one of thos Extremely Discerning Autopian comparisons to see how the different looks compare. Didn`t have to on the (darkish pearl blue) `93 Audi as the UQW looked utterly "blah" to me whereas IUDJ gives a subtle but nice enhancement to the FK1000P (which, once again, now looks great to me even though "it`s the completely wrong look" for that paint).
But yeah...to my utter amazement, IUDJ has really changed how I do some things. Still need UQW, OCW, and ValuGard FastFinish on the shelf, but I doubt I`ll buy any more QDs (unless I use up my M34 *and* do some significant correction using compounds that need some of that stuff).
