Interior Dressing Sheen Input - Several Products Listed>>>

[imported_SilverStallion]

I am trying to choose an appropriate interior dressing to use as my go to product, and I have some questions. I currently have both PB Natural Look and 303 Aerospace. I am wondering where Meguires #40 and Optimum Protectant would rank in terms of shine and protectant quality for my dash. I am looking for as Matte a finish as possible, with the maximum possible gain.



Which product would give the best protection and least shine of those mentioned?



I appreciate any words of wisdom from the field of experts here...thanks guys.

most matte finish for me has been Optimum's. 303 second.

Most MATTE has to be 1Z's Cockpit Detailer. I havent used Optimum's, but #40 is okay, prefer the look of 303 best.

Can you use optimum on exterior rubber, tires and trim.

#40 is my favorite just because it's got the most accurate new car smell of any product i've ever tried, but it's definitely not as matte as 303 or Optimum.

303 has given me a really nice matte look, wish I could find some pics to show you but I cant...heh

I know you did not mention it but Four Star Professional Rubber and Vinyl Protectant leaves a really nice matte finish. No shine at all.

I like these three:



1. Wolfgang Vinyl & Rubber Treatment (semi-glossy)

2. 1Z Cockpit Premium (very matte look)

3. Zaino Z-10 or add Z-26 if you want more gloss.

Optimum actually has a tire shine, but you can use Protectant Plus as well.

I was looking on Autogeek.net and noticed that OPP is $10.99 for 17oz and $29.99 for 1 gallon. I have a tendency to purchase in bulk since I find it has more bang for the buck.



As far as durability, Optimum products have been wonderful for me and I was wondering if OPP is as easy/long lasting as all their other products.

The ones on your list that I have used which leave a nice, matte finish I would say PB's NL and 303. Both are excellent in my opinion for durable, matte finish on interiors. NL has strong cherry scent if I remember correctly.

For looks, I like 303 the best. But if you're looking for matte, Klasse VRLP is almost flat, even less sheen than 303. It lasted a year in my interior giving me no haze on glass, doesn't attract dust, cleans plastic very well and restores color to faded surfaces.
