Whatya Think,



I was in the supermarket yesterday and Weiman's

Lemon Oil caught my eye. Could this be the trick for

our interior wood.



Website : http://www.weiman.com/lemonoil.html



What I like about this product :



Weiman® Lemon Oil contains only 100% pure natural Lemon Oil.



And because sunlight’s ultraviolet rays can cause wood

finishes to fade and crack, Weiman® Lemon Oil is formulated

with UVX-15 Sunscreen to guard your furniture against direct

and indirect sunlight damage. Weiman® is the only leading

brand of Lemon Oil on the market with a sunscreen.



As with all Weiman® products, Weiman® Lemon Oil contains

NO Pore-Clogging Silicones or Waxes, so there is never any

buildup.



Our exclusive formulas combine six natural oils (Lemon, Walnut,

Sesame, Safflower, Avocado & Almond) to protect, condition and

preserve fine furniture.



Anyone have any experience with this product?

I am pretty sure that most interiors with wood trim are also protected by a "clear coat" so lemon oil would not be my first choice.



On all my cars with wood trim I use #9 and a paste wax or Plexus.



It would seem that lemon oil would just oil up on the surface unless there is no protective top coat

I agree.



Maybe if you have an older car with a non-coated or treated wood it would probably work well. Otherwise, I think it would just make the wood trim greasy and wouldnt do anything for gloss.



Instead try a good wax and QD, Plexus is also good but any sealant or wax will work well.
 
Thanks Guys,



Tried wax, plexus, QD, Pledge, etc and still have not

found the look. I think Pledge looked the best though.



The reason I went with Pledge in the first place was

because it was recommended by Exotic Wood dash.



They love it and they said they tried many a polish.



What I did not like about the wax, Plexus, and QD

was that it enhanced the hair line scratches when the

sun hits it.



I'm not sure if todays wood is topped with clear coat

or polyurethane.



Weiman's also makes a regular cream polish. Maybe

better than the lemon.
 
rd,



Yeah, when the sun catches the fine lines the scratches are then only enhanced. Sadly though it is very difficult to remove those scratches because of the tight spaces you have to work with.



BUT......Dremel tool to the rescue. If you have one of these then you can get that flexi-tool attachment and their polishing wheels and safely work these areas. Tape of all the vinyl/leather and work #9 around while keeping it wet with a quality QD.



If you don't have a Dremel tool, the deluxe model, then you all need to get one as they come in handy.



You may also want to try the NOVUS plastic care system. This stuff works great and I have even polished out scratches in some of my CD's.



Lastly, have any of you tried good ol fashion regular Crest or Colgate toothpaste to remove scratches from plastic?? When I used to build and compete in modeling contests I would rub out scratches in the plastic windshields of my car models with Colgate or Crest regular toothpaste and the stuff really worked and left my models with that clean fresh smell:up

Thanks for the tips Ant.



I called Weiman,s back and the nice lady got a

hold of the Lab & QA dept. They said that the

small amount of lemon in the product will

in no way affect the polyurethane or other

clear coats long term or short.



I bought it this morning. For $3.49 you can't

go wrong as you can use it in the house if

you don't like it in the car.



I'll give shine report in a few days.



What I like about it is that it's made mostly

from stuff at a health food store.
 
Nope, No Good With The Lemon Oil.



Promotes spiderwebbing.



Went back to Plexus. Just as well. Plexus is great

for all the other plastic components in the interior

like clear instrument visor, radio, speaker grills, door

handles, etc plastic parts.



Well,, no hurt in trying before the season starts.
