I picked a gallon of the Meguiar's Hyper Dressin today and here is an initial review of the product:
Cost: $35
Usage: Dilution ratio up to 1:4
Use: 1:1
Notes:
Appearance: Matte finish when used at this ratio, the dressing was used on an old neglected Stratus
A little goes along way..I used a microfiber that I wettted thouroughly with the dressing and it was almost enough to do the whole car.
A little sticky
Fragarance: Very nice but subtle enough it does not overwhelm
Overall a strong product especially when you consider the cost from the dilution ratios.

I use a clean tire swipe to apply interior dressing. Many ways to skin the proverbial cat . . .

So 1:4 for matte. It looks about the shinyness of 303. Am I on the right track?
Have you tried it on the tires yet?

At 2:1, you get a pretty good gloss, so I am going with 3:1 right now since while I may like a matte finish, most of my customers want a bit more shine. Pretty durable for a water based product too. I've had it on my dash almost 2 weeks now and it still looks really good. Even after driving in the rain on Monday and washing my car twice, the tires have a really nice matte look to them. | |

Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Chattanooga, TN Posts: 1,054 | I mixed mine 1:1 and it resulted in a matte finish, but I assume that came from the condition of the dashboard. I wonder if this stuff seperates if it sits fir a few days.
