I was selected to receive and review the new Pinnacle and Wolfgang products that were released this week. Here are some of my findings for Pinnacle Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner & Conditioner. Sorry for the cell phone pics, I forgot my camera when I was doing this.

I keep my interior very clean in my car, but it had been about a week since I gave it my usual wipedown with a damp microfiber. It is currently protected with my favorite interior product, Ultima Interior Guard Plus.

There was a light buildup of dust and my application of UIGP is about 2 months old, so it was due for a refreshing - I opted to use the AIO power of Pinnacle to spruce up my interior.
Here is the towel I used - you can see that there was a good amount of dirt it actually cleaned up. The towel was greenish/yellow and there are some blemishes now.

I used it on the dash, doors, and all surrounding areas. I was very happy with how little product I needed(as my interior wasn't too dirty) and how well it still cleaned. The consistency was a little thicker than a standard APC or something, and it smelled very pleasant/familiar - almost like Duragloss Aquawax or tanning lotion of some sort.

Little to no gloss was left - just a satin finish that felt very nice.
My TSX also has some rubberish areas on the door that are an absolute nightmare to keep streak free and clean. The Pinnacle finished better than any other product I've ever used here. It only required a light buff after wiping.
Here is the driver side, which I used an alternative product for. You can see the smudging and spotting left over that is hard to get rid off without leaving towel marks/streaks.

Here is the side cleaned with Pinnacle. Smooth and streak-free. :xyxthumbs:

Overall I'm very happy with this product and will probably be buying more once I run out. It's nice to use as a refresher on a maintained interior, and I also think it would work well on more neglected cars while still leaving some protection behind without needing to go over everything again.
Thanks Autogeek + Nick for the giveaway. Looking forward to sharing my thoughts on the other products I received when I can.
