    Re: Dashboard Protectant Face Off!

    **UPDATE**

    Six days after initial application, each protectant is going strong with minimal dust attraction.














    Expect another update in one week.

    Right after the application 303 look like maybe the 3rd darkest, but after 1 week it now looks the darkest. Is that just in the photo or does it appear like that to the eye? Do you think that it got darker after sitting for a while or the others faded out?

    I was thinking the exact same thing, but in the beggining he said he used more 303 to cover since it did not spread as good as the others. Not sure if this had anything to do with it or not
    Get your shine on!

    Awesome test. Altho that would drive me nuts having a dash thats all striped up!

    Definately an interesting test and I look forward to seeing the results on the next update! Thanks Nick for doing this!

    Pinnacle Vinyl & Rubber Protectant to me looks the darkest. I still like the shine of all products used for this test.

    The lighting outside plays a role in how each product looks a week later, but it`s clear that the Pinnacle and 303 have retained their darkening affect on the plastic the most.

    I will be conducting some more extensive tests on Monday.

    I`vee been using the DP and Pinnacle but from the looks of your test I think that the Blackfire looks great. I`ve never tried their products but after looking at the pictures it`s about time to place an order. Thanks for the pictures.

    nice update. will also be waiting for the next one. there are differences based on the photo, but i wouldn`t feel like i went wrong with any of them. nice to see that the 303 that i already have is a front contender.
