I`m really liking this pic for some reason... If someone came out with a better foam brush (slightly stiffer like LC white?)

The smell is pleasant as others have mentioned. And although the sheen

is a tad too much for my taste, my sister was happy with it. Actually, most

people seem to prefer a sheen like this. There is a sense of rejuvenation

beyond something merely cleaned.



I`m thinking of diluting it to bring the gloss down a few notches...

If you want lower sheen, you can wipe it over with a microfiber after you apply it.

That`s what i did.

Great idea with the foam brush for cleaning/dusting vents, it`s one of those "how didn`t I think of that ideas". I`ll have to steal that on my next detail.

Thanks for sharing. Results look great. I think a sheen like that looks great in lower-light conditions, but when the sun comes out, things can get a little greasy-looking, so I know what you mean :rolleyes:.

Can one find a simple foam vent like that at a Home Depot?

Yup! And many other places too.

Thanks for the review, Han... Looks nice!

Ya know... I diluted Protect with water (1:1) and like it much better. :)

For production work you could probably dilute it 3:1. It`s very rich. Remember, it was designed to be concentrated. "Use Less. Do More." Shipping water is not effective. ;)

Hi I know it has a little shine, but if you use a damp towel to wipe it off you will get less shine.

True. But it`s much more efficient this way for me. Just apply and wipe once.

Not trying to save a few bucks either, I just prefer a slightly lower sheen.

I`m playing with HD PROTECT this week to determine appropriate dilution ratios for HD PROTECT used in professional tasks. When released in the HD Pro line, PROTECT will be available in a 24 oz. size. My initial tests yesterday seem to indicate that you could dilute this product up to 4:1 for a matte finish. I need to heat test to make sure it retains proper protection at that dilution.

Hey David, when do you expect the pro line to come out?

[Flashtime]

For a matte look/finish, HD TOTAL is perfect.

HD PROTECT on my boots = Nice!
