Re: APC and UV Protection.

Let me chime in here if I may

While Murr1525 is correct in saying M40 is not dilutable, we need to clarify M40 is actually water based....

Not all "water based" dressings are "dilutable" or designed to be diluted at the same dilution. (Now that's a tongue twister )

For example;
Hyper Dressing (D170) is designed to be diluted up to 4:1.
Water Based Dressing (D171) is designed to be diluted up to 1:1.
Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner (M40) is not dilutable.
Natural Shine (G41) is not dilutable

Keep in mind, all 4 are "water based"

In additon....please let me add to the QID thoughts...
Quik Interior Detailer (spray or wipes) is not a "cleaner" only. But it is not a "dressing" either.... It is really a new category in interior care/maintenance. It does lightly clean, but it also leaves behind some UV protection. What it does not do is enhance darkness or condition like a traditional dressing.

QID is really meant to be used in conjunction with the dressing of your choice.

Hope this helps

Mike

Excellent explanation Mike, thanks

Re: APC and UV Protection.

So I have a Scion xB, which has a plastic interior that has little dimples in it, and a very matte finish. I have used Natural Shine and #40 and don't care for the look they give on this dash. I've been using Quick Interior Detailer and APC cut at 10:1 and like the nice matte finish I get from them, but don't know about the UV protection, QID doesn't have any does it, and APC has just some doesn't it?

Anything else I should look at to give me a good matte finish?

here is what he is talking about this is taken from my XB it is a 2008. it is plastic. but the little pattern is something that Does at times leave products behind. well at least that is what i have seen. hope this helps

Re: APC and UV Protection.

Try applying on a cloth as well, not spraying right onto the material. You should get less buildup in the dimples.

Exactly what I'm talking about. The xB2's and the first gen xB's have the same material on the dash. It's a pain to dress IMO. What do you use on yours?

And I do apply to the towel first then wipe in an effort to reduce the amount of dressing that needs to be used and residue or streaking.

What you can do, doesn't matter if you are using #40, #39, APC/APC+, Quik Interior is use this method and because you don't have a uniform dash then it will help
