It seems, by experience, that many dashes and interior surfaces are not properly prepped before a dressing. Meguiars #40 is an exceptional product but still has its shortcomings. For dull and neglected surfaces you need to remove oxidation, and if there are any cheap silicates. I am not here to start the Armor All debate and cracking dashes, but silicates just are cheap shine and don't do sh#$ for interior trim. Anyway the best prep for surfaces especially the modern plastic ones is the mixture below. Why I am sharing this is because I am beyond caring about making money money from this as a business. I blew my back out two years ago, so I am limited on how many paint restores I can do in a week. So here is the formula:
1 sprayer
4 caps Murphy's Oil Soap
6 Drops Vitamin E Oil
1/4 Cup Baking Soda
1/4 Borax
Fill rest with cold H20 (Water)
Shake the bottle till all solution mixes THOUROUGLY!
AS ALWAYS TEST IN SMALL AREA 1st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Borax and Baking Soda acts as a mild abrasive which scrubs away all the oxidation and dullness. The Oil Soap and Vitamin E oil replensishes the oils into the plastic or vinyl trim pieces, more importantly this removes all the cheap silicate sh#$.
If needed for severely neglected surfaces scrub a baking soda slur on the surfaces first and flush with water.
Final dressing Meguiars Vinyl/Rubber Conditioner this product removes any excess oxidation and properly conditions the surface. The result is proper sheen, not a junk 2 dollar bottle of shine. I have used this on the few vinyl peices of 150k Mercedes Benz's and BMW's...
In case your wondering I had plenty of satisfide customers using this method.
