thanks for the heads up will take a look at online. Always looking to try new stuff. Did you guys every try Malco's Perfect 10 spray for the interior? It's a fast drying release agent & conditioning spray. I have been getting real good results on the S. My friend gave me a can from the exotic detailing place. Basically the shop he works at uses this stuff on Ferraris, vipers, lambos etc. It's for vinyl, leather you name it. The beauty of this stuff is that it sprays on then when you wipe it dries evenly no matter what. Plus you spray inside the vents and hard to reach places cause it drys automatically with no streaking. Also collects minimal dust. He's a pic of it. Never saw it stores before. Later.

Interesting sounding product. Malco is a brand I've heard of. I'm not sure that they sell directly to consumers which is why you can't find it in a store. You may be able to get it at a body shop supply store, but I think they mainly sell directly to body shops and detail shops.

I just did a google search and found Malco's website. Here's a link to their "find a distributor" page . . .

http://www.malcopro.com/distloc.htm

Just keep in mind that just because a Ferrari dealership, body shop, or detailer uses a certain product that doesn't automatically make it a great product. Businesses which need to recondition/detail a car care about one thing and that's money. So, they buy products as cheaply as they can and often use chemicals more powerful than necessary to quickly clean a car. Basically a lot of these shops don't care about the long term effects of some of their techniques or products. The bottom line is try it for yourself.

Incubus beat me too it .

I was just throwing it out there so you guys know about it and give it a try. I'm def going order some DP and give that a shot. It's always good to mix it up and try new things.

I like your attitude Mike! I try new products all the time. Some turn out to be winners and some just finish in second place. I rarely find one I would consider a loser.

The Malco product you mentioned sounds like a good one. The only thing that really turns me off about it is that it's an aerosol. Generally speaking I find products that come in an aerosol can to be a PITA. I wonder if it also comes in a spray bottle.

Not to my knowledge. Usually I just spray it on and they wipe it on the dash with a micro fiber mitt. It gives it a nice even coat and I do this with the top down so I can get to everything pretty easy. I'll snap some pics of my dash and post in this thread on sat when I clean my car. Later.

I generally agree, except for Invisible Glass. I always loved that stuff, but I saw some at Target Sunday that came in a regular old squirt bottle.

I must admit that it kinda turned me off. I'm sure it's still great though.

I have both versions of IG. As you might of already guessed, I prefer the one in the pump spray bottle. I just find it generally a little harder to control where aerosols spray compared to pump spray bottles.
