I was curious what you professionals have been using as your go to interior dressing lately, it would have to be something that comes in gallon jugs and is reasonably affordable?
I have been using Hyper Dressing for a while now.
What about rim waxes? I had Wheel Wax but ran :help: out...what`s good on the market?

With rim waxes, you can use any sealant or the Collinite carnaubas. Any of them will protect just as well (if not better) than Wheel Wax.
With interior dressing, I use 303 Aerospace Protectant. I supposed it would be costly if you were to use it professionally (on a high-volume basis). Maybe Optimum Protectant Plus?

That what I was thinking, I am not real high volume 3-4 cars a day but 303 would probably be out of the question.
Its hard to get any dressing to lay on the surface well in this heat.
You know I have never used any Collinite products but I sure hear alot about them! Maybe I need to indulge?

Interior Dressing -- Poorboy`s Natural Look
Rims -- Opti Seal (much easier) or Poorboy`s Wheel Sealant (much cheaper)

Can I ask what`s wrong with Hyper Dressing? I have no experience with it, but I have Meg`s Detailer Water-Based dressing, which can be used either 1:1 or 2:1. I personally like the look of Water-Based dressing @ 2:1. I just wish there was some kind of UV protection in it. Meg`s HD seems like a pretty good deal considering it can be diluted up to 4:1.

303 on every interior i dress and it`s been like that for 3+ years just charge accordingly.

I`m with VaSuper on this one - 303 for everybody I do. I simply get the 32 ounce bottles and it seems to last a while. Best look in my opinion and has pretty good endurance.

For interiors I like both Optimum`s Protectant Plus or FK #108, which is seemingly overlooked here. I prefer the FK product for durability, and I use less of it vs. the Optimum, but the Optimum seems to spread easier and is probably cheaper by the gallon. Can`t go wrong with either.
On wheels my process is KAIO to deep clean them, then Opti-Seal to seal them because it is so easy. You could probably get away with just the KAIO, though.

Interior= PoorBoys Natural Look. I tried out #40, but its just to matte looking for my tastes.
RimWax= Collinite 845/Wheelwax.

IMO wheel wax isn`t needed if you already have a durable sealant. Some sealants will withstand 600 degree temps.
