Is it just the lighting or is the pinnacle starting to fade slightly? Pinnacle is far left?

do either of them feel slicker or greasy to the touch?

thanks

 

[Bunky]

It looks like the differences between them has diminished but all are still obviously there compared to the unprotected area.

The lighting can be deceiving. All four are holding up fairly well so far and none of them have ever felt greasy or sticky to the touch. :bigups

Blackfire .......:bigups

What a surprise Angelo! :rofl


:autopia:

Thanks to everyone for tuning it, but the comparison test is officially over. Upon checking the dash the other day, all four were diminished for the most part. All four products held up exceptionally well with some doing better than others. As you could see in all the updates, each product provided its own unique look as time went by.

This. I would have liked to see what they looked like at the end of the contest.

 

[Rfulmer]

I bet after the test was over he wiped it down with Wolfgang Vinyl & Rubber Protectant

 

[Nth Degree]

So in the end who won?

The company selling the products that have to be applied monthly & the detailers who have a reason to tell their customers they need to come back for monthly service.

Nice comparison. I like the Pinnacle and Blackfire. I think the Blackfire gives it a more polished look where the Pinnacle seems to be more subtle.

 

[rzatch]

I'm also leaning towards the Blackfire. This test is probably longer than most would expect the product to last anyway so there are no real loosers here.

Would have loved to see this test in the summer where the sun is strong. Also add OPP to the list!

Does anyone have experience with the 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland leather dash and what if anything it should be treated with? I understand it is a "coated" leather. Is not exactly the same as the leather seats but is still leather with stitching. Tried to find out through Chrysler/Jeep if they knew what kind of processing the leather went through, etc. but they know nothing nor does the dealer. Seems this would determine what kind of conditioner to apply. It does not need a cleaner, just damp wipe.

 

[Matryx]

great comparison.

Has anyone else tried the Optimum Protectant Plus? How does it compare to Blackfire?

 

[dc52nv]

Amazing test. I'm wondering how PB Trim Restore would do against the same products.

 

[dd1101]

Great Thread... Good Job Stig!!!!!

 

[Hoytman]

I wonder how M40 and UIGP would have faired in this test?
