Review Prima Nero Protectant

I received this as part of the free gift when I purchased the Rupes UHS pads and polishing compound during one of the Vega deals.

Figured I would give it a shot this past weekend as I was doing an interior detail of my daily driver.

For those looking for a matte finish then this is the product one is looking for. It made the interior plastics and vinyl look new without gloss just as the product description states.

Product link and description:

Prima Nero Vinyl, Rubber, Plastic Protectant

Prima Nero is a water-based vinyl, rubber, and plastic protectant and dressing for both interior and exterior surfaces. The appeal of Nero is its finish: it's a concours-look with a matte silkiness on vinyl dashes and plastic trim. Nero leaves tires with a look of newness, adding almost no gloss. If you are looking for the glazed donut shine, Prima Nero is not for you. UV inhibitors help defend against sun damage. Prima Nero is detergent resistant for excellent durability.

The consistency is thin enough to come out of sprayer with no issues. It has a blue hue to the milky type consistency.

Prior to application, I gave the dash a wipedown with Meguiar's quik interior detailer to remove any dust and any remnants of the previous protectant. I placed a tape line in the center of the dash. Gave the microfiber applicator a spritz of product and applied it onto the surface.

It darkens very little. I had a hard time capturing it on the camera. This is after applying the protectant. I waited the recommended 15 mins after I finished the entire interior.

Was applied on the right side

Here's the completed interior after letting the protectant sit on the surface for 15 mins and coming back for a final buff.

Overall I enjoyed using it. It has a very light darkening effect on the surface. It left a matte finish with almost no gloss just as the product description states. I will see how long it lasts before it needs a touch up.
 
Great review Guz. I like Nero and got a bottle from someone that didn't care for it. I still use it on occassion and feel it does a great job. Durability is not all that bad.

The difference being that QID has a light cleaner in it. I typically use this to remove dusting and clean up the dash prior to any protectant I apply. Good stuff indeed.

Nero looks good in the daylight. No signs of crazy reflections off the front glass on my way into work this morning.

ironically most of my clients prefer the matte look of QID...I personally would rather use Natural Look and love how it looks on my vehicles, but most people prefer the subtle QID look
 
Thanks for the review. Very informative. I have tried lots of interior dressings. Additionally I really like some of Prima's products ( Hydro Max ). But I have never liked an interior product as well as Optimum Vinyl Leather. I just really like that one. I think it is very underrated. But I will give Nero a try
