I observed a friend of mine using this product on the interior of his C5 Corvette and he gave me the remaining 1/4 of his bottle to try.
First off, I can`t stand an interior dressing/conditioner that is shiny. For me it has to be a satin finish. So that was my primary criteria.
Secondly... I rarely use "over the counter" or "mass market" products. Like most of you, I`m mostly an upper end detailing product guy!
That being said, here`s my review of the TW F21 Super Protectant.
1. Application:
This product is a water based liquid and comes in a spray bottle with a fairly fine mist that can be sprayed on your microfiber towel or directly on the leather, plastic, vinyl or rubber surface.
2. Shine:
The finish is EXACTLY what I like: Satin smooth finish with no streaks, no harsh shine. Dry to the touch after 1 minute.
3. Longevity:
I applied to the interior surfaces of my `03 Corvette about 2 weeks ago and they still look the same as they did the day I applied them.
4. UV Protection:
The spray bottle label claims the following:
Revolutionary nonotechnology formula combined with Sun- Sto p ? provides the highest level of UVA/UVB protection for leather, vinyl, rubber and plastic surfaces.
5. Scent:
This is the best part!!! It has that LEATHER scent. Reminds me very much of Zaino Z10 "Leather in a Bottle".
6. Amount used:
Very little is needed... 2 light sprays did the one entire seat.
7. Availability:
Like most Turtle Wax products, F21 SP is available at almost any Auto Parts Store and, of course, Walmart!
8. Price:
Cheap. 32 oz is about $6.50 at Walmart.
9. Similar product comparison:
Here`s where I`ll get into trouble. I`m going to compare this product with 303 Protectant. Now I know that 303 is the "benchmark" for interior protectant products. It has the perfect, non-streak, UV protected finish. All true.
If F21 SP isn`t just as good, it`s darn close.
10. Recommendation:
Highly recommended.
11. Overview:
I have always been skeptical of TW products ever since the days of the original TW Paste Wax products that you put on your car, they left a nasty white crust, that you had to scrape off and the car ended up looking worse after that before!
But, as you can deduce from my review, I really like this stuff!
And, if you give it a try and disagree, please send your un-used portions to me. I`ll gladly take them off your hands.
P.S. Excellent for tires too.
