Thanks Scott. They sure do. This car's rubberized pieces were definately deteriorating. (super sticky too) I was warned ahead of time about these conditions and was told that nothing but a wet towel should be used due its delicateness. At 1st I covered these areas but the whole time I couldn't resist testing my curiousity. I spot cleaned a small area real lightly with the TOTAL cleaner and nothing happened so I then tried using more cleaner applied to a soft towel and still came out great. At the end, I did the same thing with PROTECT and had equal results. I have no doubt that my go-to cleaner would have destroyed this coating.

You can tailor the gloss level by wiping with a towel. This interior was in need of some desperate moisture and it sucked up 2 applications of PROTECT. After the gloss plated out, I wiped with a very thin cotton towel and it gave it a healty natural look. I don't like conditioners/protectors that are really shiny or greasy and I was able to work with this one pretty easy. I leaves no greasy/oily feel at all.

Plus the product's aroma made this car smell just it came out of the factory. Very European smelling, but not overbearing at all.

Great work. Interior looks fantastic and its obvious the products work. Curious as to your thoughts on how they compare to others you've used previously.

Excellent write-up! I was going to post my own of a very nasty Honda.
But this works much better. And my results (engine/wheels too) are the same.
It's hard to believe this stuff is actually safe AND effective.

Looking forward to the Pro line. I *hope it's as cost effective as Meguiars
APC and SD as the cleaning abilities are on par with them. Interesting indeed.

great clean up, this product line is now on my radar. Is it ready for prime time(retail sales) or still in the beta stages(I see the banner so I probably answered my own question) Doh...
