This stuff is amazing. It leaves a durable, rich shine on vinyl, leather and plastic surfaces that puts competing products to shame. Add to this that, after it dries for 10 minutes or so, the surfaces are dry to the touch. No more oily hands when touching a dashboard that has been treated!
The shine remains for a long time. I've found that the attractive shine is left on my dashboard and door panels for well over a month after application. It does wear a little quicker on the console where I tend to rest my forearm as I drive, but still lasts for quite a while.
I wiped down my leather seats with it and they're left looking probably better than when they were new. It also seems to leave the leather feeling more supple which leads me to believe that continuous application to leather seats will prevent cracking as the car and leather age.
I've also used it to treat the black plastic panels on the outside of my vehicle that have been faded from UV light. It has them looking new again with very minimal effort, and the black shine holds up to the elements at least as well as most "tire shine" products will on tires. Depending on the weather, I can expect my panels to look great for about 2 weeks after application. In the absence of rain/snow, I suspect it would last near a month.
The scent is fantastic--a nice "new vinyl" scent similar to what is found in the AIR_101 New Car scent offered by the Chemical Guys.
Do take care not to get it on glass. It will spot glass badly, as is to be expected from these types of products.
The 16 oz bottle goes a long way, and the high quality sprayer that comes with it is much appreciated. Keep up the good work, Chemical Guys!
