    nothing cool
    I used it on my rear bumper. Love loved the look but hated the feel. Makes it sticky/grippy feeling to the touch. But, it looked painted.

    I did my wife's car in color changing purple/blue plastidip and I used glossifier like a clearcoat. It also makes it harder
    (Less sctatch resistant) As far as rubbery feel...hit it with dip coat spray and it will be smooth like paint.

    Plasti-Dip glossifier is an odd thing to me. It does glossify a bit, but it seems like unless you put 12 coats all it ever aspires to is a satin finish. Glossifier in my opinion is really only good for building up layers, and getting a slightly glossier finish on dip.

    I've used the DE-glossifier....worked like a charm.

    I have had great luck with glossifier out of a can (again dirty car)
    when I use a real plastidip sprayer system then I use this instead of glossifier
    This stuff really shines like clearcoat.

    Eitherway as with all plastidip, the more coats the better it lasts and looks.
    Glossifier needs heavy, just before it's gonna drip kind of coats.
