That's really interesting. I was wondering if the difference in experiences might also have something to do with water quality (hard/soft/whatever), so I guess you ruled out that factor!
Seems like you're right that we're discovering that this product works best on silky coats. I actually think that my Mazie has a modified coat, which might be why my results on her were mixed.
I have to say though that even for my cotton-coated Kiki, I'm hoping that I can tweak our approach and get this product to work well for her too. Even though I'm not seeing the "sheen" with either of my dogs, the pluses are great:
///coats look exceptionally clean
///all the individual colors in their coats are really POPPING.
///their coats look like they are hanging more "evenly", to me. They stay looking "groomed" longer.
///they are amazingly SOFT. Like bunny rabbits.
I think (hope!) that using other products along with, I can cut down on the excessive frizziness.
As for the SMELL:
I saw on another thread where people were complaining about that, and it's interesting to hear that experiences are varied on that, as well.
When I first put in on them, it did have a mild "flea shampoo" smell, but this lessened as I rinsed and dried them. I'm not real picky what my dogs smell like, as long as they don't smell like stinky dogs.
It left a mild "clean" smell on them, and that was okay with me. My husband commented that they smelled like "pine" or "cedar".
