Is there and interior protectant that has absolutely no shine to it?

I had a customer last week with an 2010 Audi who didnt want ANY change of appearance to his interior vinyl . He did let me use leather conditioner on his leather (Optimum leather protectant)but was adamant about wanting the rest looking exactly the same so I didnt use anything.

He also gave me areally nice tip and I will be doing his car again so I would like to find something that will protect but have NO shine.

Figuring he liked his tires nice and matte , he said "oh I like my tires real shiny "LOL go figure !
 
Poorboys World natural look is one that I have used for a matted finish. The trick is to apply and buff using a cotton towel. Makes a like new look, no shine.
 
1Z Cockpit Premium works very well hard surface's and also the Blackfire Twins ( Blackfire Interior Cleaner and then use the Blackfire Interior Protectant for that matted type of look.
 
Another cheap alternative that I use from time to time is baby shampoo and water mixed. This leaves a nice finish. If it's good enough for a baby, it's good enough for a car!
 
I can go along with both the 1Z CP and PB's NL recommendations in regards to leaving a mostly matte finish. Though I really would lean toward the NL over CP when it comes to "protection" and initial cleaning for that matter. IMO CP is a great light cleaner but needs to be used weekly.
 
Even baby shampoo is soap. It may do a good job of cleaning the interior, but the soap may discolor and dry out the vinyl trims.

Most baby shampoo is rated as "5" or moderately hazardous to baby skin. I'm a grandfather so I know these things. :)

Prima Nero works well on my charcoal interiors. Wipe on, buff off. Not even a hint of a shine.

A product line that I need to investigate further. Rarely hear a negative user review on any of their products.

If you want an inexpensive locally available option just pick up Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer.

Often forget that one. I've even got a bottle. Indeed a nice option.

I LOVE Poorboy's World NL! I usually don't even buff. Just a nice very thin application and it will dry to a matted finish.

That's always a good product to use. I'll bass another OTC product... Eagle One Nano Interior protectant. Works well and is a matte finish as well. Sometimes it's a little hard to find.
 
WOW really? Nobody said Ultima Interior Guard Plus. This stuff is amazing. It goes so far and feels so soft. It can be used on leather for a matter finish too. It makes the vinyl and leather look like new, but it feels so much softer. You can even use it on leather steering wheels because it isn't slippery. The stuff is matte and it should last longer than any of the shiny ones that I have ever used. It last according to Corey(CEEDOG) for like 3 months on vinyl and plastics.
 
Thanks so much everyone for your suggestions! So many to choose from!

I will have to talk him into using anything at all because he doesnt want it to look any different , no shine , no sheen or darkening...NOTHING!Its a black interior too, I forgot to mention.

I have a couple natural looking dressings but know he wouldnt go for any sheen whats so ever. Real nice guy but he knows what he wants and doesnt want and is very fussy .

I just want something on the interior to protect it. A couple things suggested didnt offer any protection, although I do appreciate the effort !

Looks like I have a lot of products to research now .Thanks again everyone for heping me out with this! :yourrock
