Non-Reflective Dash Finish

[JonD]

Looking for recommendations to keep the dash on our new car completely stock looking and non-reflective, but still protected. I've been using Meguiar's "Quik Interior Detailer on my '95 Integra, but it's too shiny. Another forum recommended either Mother's Protectant or perhaps 303. Appreciate any input on this!

for something local, pick up the turtle wax stuff. its in a 6-13" spray bottle. EXCELLENT protectant! :)

Poorboys Natural Shine = absolutely normal looking
303 Protectant = nice matte surface

Poorboy's Natural shine is my choice.

303, if it's to reflective let dry and buff with MF.

Duragloss has a silicone free leather/vinyl treatment which is really nice! Semi-matt surface with very even looking finish.

I think you are refering to Meguiar's Tech protectant. It's shiny as hell. Meguiar's quik interior detailer offers no shine. It's a QD product.
I really like 303 on interior surfaces. And if you want to shine, then pray it on, and wipe it right off. No waiting.

Thanks, Supercharged!

I'm going to definitely try the 303 Protectant - there's just too much in the way of positive comment throughout this string about this product to ignore. And thanks to all of you who have replied - I've received quite an education, this is a great site!

I was really surprised when he said that too. Megs QID leaves surfaces looking new not shiny.

Anyway, I've used 303 Aerospace Protectant, Poorboy's, Armor All, Vinylex, and many others. The only product I've found so far which leaves my dash looking new and not shiny at all is DP Interior Surface Protectant.

I have no idea why it (and the rest of the DP line) is not much more popular. It and many of the other DP products are excellent IMO.

:iagree: The DP line is awesome! Their interior surface protectant is right on par with pinnacle. I did a side by side comparison of both protectants and I couldn't see the difference between them. 303 is the best though for UV protection.

For those of you who detail for livings or side, what do your customers prefer? Shiny or natural look?
