I like the fact it has mild cleaners. I will be using it on my car. I currently have Mothers VLR, and while it gives an excellent look, on some materials, it leaves a sticky feeling, unless buffed off. I'm looking for a vinyl, leather, and rubber cleaner/protectant product that doesn't have to be buffed off.
 
I've never had a problem with it having a sticky feeling. The problem I have with it is that on warm / hot days, the product emits an odor that gives me a headache.
 
Hey Mark,hows the new car?

I use Dp interior on my wifes car. She loves the smell and look. It dries to a touch but imo it's to shiny. I use WG interior protectant but that does need a little buffing after if

you use alot.
 
Make sure to shake DP Interior Protectant before applying. I use a cotton terry covered applicator pad when applying it. It leaves a nice even satin sheen that dries to the touch. It's easy to get even coverage without splotchiness. Great stuff.

I tried Four Star Interior Protectant last week and it looks similar but it didn't cover as evenly. I'll try applying it (Four Star) heavier or apply it twice next time to get more even coverage.

Hey Chet, I realy, realy like the new car. :dblthumb2:

Ahhh, too shiny, huh.

I don't use a lot. I think once VLR completely dries, it's not sticky.
 
DP Interior Protectant does in fact dry to the touch and can be applied to virtually any surface inside your vehicle - leather, plastic, vinyl, etc. It does have mild cleaners so it also doubles as a cleaner & protectant for vehicles that are well maintained.

A little bit goes a long way and if you prefer a natural finish, simply buff it with a microfiber towel 2-3 minutes after being applied. One 32 oz. bottle will last a long time.

Mark Optimum Protectant Plus is an awsome product that I use alot! It Dries to touch and leaves a nice new look.
 
Don't know about the DP IP but if you are looking for something that cleans, leaves no residue and doesn't need to be buffed try 1Z Cockpit Premium. I love it. It leaves no finish just keeps the surfaces looking new.
 
I've tried both of the products above. OPP is too thick for my taste. I like the thinner, sprayable viscosity of DP. CP is nice, but I feel it's more of a light cleaner than a protectant. Thanks guys!

Mark I agree OPP is thick....I started using it in a squeeze bottle instead of a spray bottle and I really like it more this way.
 
When using DP, I always apply using a mf applicator to control amount applied to help minimize buffing later.

I used a MF applicator too, Al. With my specific interior plastic material, it required no buffing. You can't really tell there's anything on there. Not sticky, mild cleaner, dries to the touch. This stuff is great!
 
I'm liking OPP...it is thick though. Does anyone know if it's ok to dilute?
 
I like VLR and DP, but DP smell is what I don't like. Maybe it was the smell that stayed in the application pad. But that was the only down side of DP IME!
 
DP IP is my go to. awesome on all interior plastics/etc. have a second bottle in back up.

VLR is good, too. I like the thinner viscosity of DP better.
 
I've been using this stuff for awhile now, and I really like it! :dblthumb2:
