I decided to give the interior of my parents Trailblazer a final detail in order to help boost it's sales appeal.
I removed the rubber mats and used D101 4:1 with a scrub brush and returned them to their clean original color.[gray]
Then I went over all the vinyl + dash with some Quik Interior Detailer. Looked good, but I felt it needed a bit of shine.. So I decided to use D180, but instead of using foam to apply [which I personaly disliked for this product] I tried it with a microfiber applicator pad.. I liked it way better this way!
1st difference I liked was not needing to buff off excess with a separate towel, as the microfiber applicator seemed to not leave much behind. [unlike the foam applictor]
It left a beautiful finish with just the right ammount of shine on all surfaces. [check out the black plastic on the floorboard & weatherstripping alongside it. Compared to the untreated weatherstripping up top]
2nd thing I noticed was a noticable step up in cleaning power. Even after going over all areas with QID my microfiber applicators picked up all this dirt [this is not including the dirt from the weatherstripping. I used the other sides to clean those areas]
There's 1 question I have though, does D180 offer UV protection? On the labels of both Quik Interior Detailer and Gold Class Leather Cleaner & Conditioner it clearly states that it leaves behind UV protection.. But nowhere on the label of D180 does it mention UV protection.
