    Interior Flat Dressing Suggestions

    I am good on paint but far from an expert on the interior. Yet I keep getting these cars with flat, pourous, or muted finishes on the dash. The products I`m using take a lot of buffing to look nice without streaking.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for this particular situation? I`m happy with what I`ve got for sharper, shinier vinyl & plastic, just searching for more options for flat.

    I`d especially like opinions from those who know what I`m talking about. :-p

    Just use the shiney stuff and wipe off the excess with a mf or a damp mf. No sense of buying more products when you can use whatchya got arleady.

    If you are using a water based product, dilute it a bit with water.
    Also, maybe see if your cousin can make a flat dressing.
    If you wanted to buy one that isn`t very shiny, you may want to try VRT. Fairly expensive, though.

    I do believe that you are talking about the BMWs and a Acura TSX type of finish. I have had great luck with leather cleaners and conditions. Not a real glossy look but a nice matte finish.

    I never thought of that, I`ll give it a try. I`ts showing up more and more, and is hard to keep clean and have a nice solid finish, but sharp when done.

    For my BMW dash, it`s either VRT or natural look for me-both give matte look,been alternating between them and the dash still looks new despite the car being 3 years old :beer: :w00t:
    A man has got to recognize his limitations, and then learn how to adapt within those confines. Then go out and conquer.

    My favorite product for all is PB`s Natural Look. I use it at full strength but can be diluted for your needs or different apps...
