Some people like trim dressing. I prefer Poorboy's Natural Look Dressing - can be used for a matt look or a shiny look, as required.

As above, I spray diluted APC (1.10) onto a microfibre cloth and wipe all the plastics down which should give you a natural finish.

Trim dressings....not too keen but Aerospace 303 is good as it provides UV protection, plus Werkstat Satin Prot is very popular.

Simon, do you use any other werkstadt products?

I have literally just sold my Prime AIO, Jett and Glos, good products but I didnt use them anywhere near enough.

Are you thinking of buying some?

Post by: craigy123 on April 13, 2011, 07:36:50 pm: As said wipe down with APC diluted 10:1 then apply a dressing, i highly rate Werkstat Satin Prot, nothing worse than a shiny dash IMO :happy2:
