    Most matt-like finish

    Which of Meguiar's numerous interior protectants leaves the most matt-like finish......minimal gloss. I have some very flat interior protectant from Chrysler, but its banana like smell is not only strong but long lasting. Won't use. Over the years I have messed with several protectants but keep coming back to #40. Yes, I know to wipe #40 off for the matt-like finish but I still want it to be a bit more flat. Would Natural Shine or Ultimate Protectant be closer to what I want than #40?

    As an aside, it seems that the hard textured vinyl used in the interior of our new vehicles scuffs when you simply look at it.

    The older Natural Shine seemed fairly matte to me, though I have a heavy texture on my vinyl which knocks it down further. Or just QID.

    Natural shine is a nice product, quick interior detailer would be the most matte of them all. Butt the warm glow of m40 is hard to beat for interior.

    I personally like QID works great to clean and leaves no shine at all!

    I dug out the stuff that I used six years ago. Mopar Satin Select/Interior Treatment. I does just what it promises...leaves a matte finish on the dash when applies as directed...but is doesn't smell all that great.

    natural shine and then wipe for even distribution purposes . I only use #40 for rubber seals and porous rubber around the glass, or fender wells.

    Quik Interior Detailer will leave as matte a finish as you can hope for since won't change the existing finish at all. It does offer decent UV protection, there is no lingering aroma and it's safe to use on all interior surfaces, including nav screens.

    How does Quick Interior Detailer compare to Natural Shine? I really would prefer to use Meguiar's products. Several years ago, I learned that scuffs and scratches in textured vinyl interior trim "are forever". The most you can do is make them a bit less noticeable with some type of protectant. Guess I'm still looking for the one that can really "work magic".
