    Megs Water Based Interior Dressing

    I got my bottle of Megs in yesterday so I used it on my car first. I'm usually a fan of natural look but the full strength look was ok(I'll still carry my other but let the customer decide) Well at first after I applied it I could tell there was a little bit of a greasy feeling so I figured it was still wet and I wiped it down a little more. I let it sit for around 5 hours then I drove the car. I noticed it was still greasy. I guess maybe the stuff needs to be thuroughly wiped down to aviod this? If so seems like a time factor which I dont really care for. I will dilute it today and see what I think. Has anyone else had this problem? I thought for some reason it said it did not leave a greasy feel but it doesnt. It's not a bad product reveiw but that is one set back I didn't like. Thanks

    I think you'll like it better diluted.

    Re: Megs Water Based Interior Dressing

    I'm also interested, what water to dressing ratio do you recommend for a natural look/feel?
    It's never too late to learn a little.

    So, since you originally applied this Meg's dressing on 04/09/2011 (neat: per your posting) and felt that it was too greasy; and, you then later, on the same above mentioned date, stated that you were going to dilute it. With the results you are reporting now on 04/20/2011, may I ask what dilution ratio you used to obtain those results? Did the diluting of this Meg's dressing get rid of the greasy feel/look? Thanks.

    Never diluted it for my car. I did about 3:1 on my last car and it looked good.
