Review: DP Interior Surface Protectant

**Jeff120** · 08-21-2010, 09:09 PM

Just a quick review of the new to me product

Condition for interior:
The interior is well maintained. Just need a clean up due to dust and dirty

I previously used these products on my interior:
Megs. M40
Megs. Ultimate Protectant
Megs. Gold class protectant.

Applied with a microfiber pad.

Pros of DP:
The smell is a nice banana sent, not over powering just a nice clean fruity sent. I guess this could be a con if you hate bananas!
It is NOT greasy at all. As soon as I wiped a section and it was already soaking in.
Its a matte shine. I cant stand a shinny dash, the glare is awful, Im sure we have all made that mistake once!

Cons:
It did streak some on hard plastic on the door. What you see sometime around the window and lock controls on the door. I applied if a few time to those areas and it finally stopped streaking.
I had to go over the top of the dash twice to remove all the dust.

Durability: I cant comment on that as I just applied it today.

Cleaning power: The label says it has some cleaners, it cleaned up the cup holders that had some coffee/ soda spilled in them. Also cleaned up some dirt around the lower part of the door vinyl area. Any heavy soiling you will probably need a separate cleaner.

Over all Im happy with this product. The streaking could have been b/c I didnt clean off any previous dressing, but I wanted to test the cleaning power of DP and it seemed pretty decent for regular dust and minor dirt. A product to add to your wish list!

Thanks Jeff120, Nice quick review.
I was wondering about this product, after all it is on BOGO!

This is my favorite interior protectant bar NONE. When after you apply it, follow up with a dry microfiber towel to kind buff the smooth plastic parts you are referring to. No more streaks.

Thanks for the review Jeff. Just to be clear you didn't clean the interior before protecting right? You just repeated using the protectant untill it seemed clean enough? I would think you would want to clean it first. Were you just testing its cleaning power?

The interior wasnt dirty, just some dust. The DP label says it works on lightly soiled interiors so I was testing that as far a cleaning power. I keep up with my interior and wanted something similar to Megs. M40 which is also a cleaner/conditioner that I really like, I just hate the fake leather smell of M40. Dp seems to fit the bill.

Thanks, I haven't tried it as I use Ultima Interior or 303AP. I love the DP total interior cleaner for cleaning though.

Thanks Jeff!

I have some of this in an order right now so I'm glad to see someone has posted their experience and opinion. Personally I've had great luck with DP products and I'm anxious to give this a try as well........
