    Re: Supreme Shine Vs. Ultimate Protectant

    Never seen any comparisons between the Natural/Supreme Shine and the Ult. Protectant as far as UV protection. They are dressings, and will have more UV protection than the QID.

    Havent seen the gloss mentioned as a factor either.

    The Supreme Shine is what I regularly use, and probably apply once a month, or month and a half in the summer.

    Ult. Protectant would be glossier, and the spray would be easier to use inside than the liquid.

    The Ult. Protectant is a nice middle ground, leaves a nice rich look, and some gloss. Of course my interior is pretty heavily textured, which knocks down gloss some.
    Murr, just re-reading this before I make a store run... Did you mean SS is the glossier product? Thanks again!

    Cheers

    Whoops.. it seems like the Ult. Protectant is glossier to me than the Supreme Shine, but all plastics are a bit different. Yours could react differently. But wont be bad, either way.

    sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but why is AA bad for your dash and stuff?

    Well, the Armor All tends to be greasy, which is annoying.

    As far as dashes cracking, that seems to be more about the plastics back in the 70's/80's, and not really about the product. But AA was the only product then, so it became the reason.

    Left Suprime Shine, Right Ultimate Protectact.

    IMHO UP is darker, but SS is glossier under the light
    Hope this help a little

    Re: Supreme Shine Vs. Ultimate Protectant

    I haven't used AA for years, but I remember two things about it (1) it attacted dust like nobody's business, and (2) it always left me with the impression that was film that just sat on top of the plastic. Once the gloss went away, the plastic looked no better than before the appliation. The Ultimate Protectant (as well as other non-AA products) tend to improve the plastic over time.
