Hi,
I'm new to Meguiars car care. You definitely got me with Ultimate Quick Wax. I absolutely love it, stunning product!
Now, I drive a 2006 Volkswagen Phaeton, which has besides a lot of leather also so called "soft touch" plastic (feels soft to the touch and it' s matte, but gets sticky and shiny if treated wrong. If this happens then it's too late. The only option left then is changing the parts. Since the Phaeton is sometimes consideres as "Entry level Bentley" you might imagine the costs of replacing all the soft touch parts.)
Now, interior plastic care is much more confusing than exterior care for me. I asked some detailers, and got different replys. Some said I should use no interior care products as these might cause the hard plastic to crack and the soft touch to bloat. Some others meant, that I should definitely use interior detailing products, cause If I wouldn't the plastic would crack. Some mentioned glass cleaner, but I can't imagine that that is a good idea, I mean glass cleaner contains alcohol which in my opinion causes the plastic to dry out.
So I was thinking about Quick Interior Detailer or Natural Shine Protectant. Since I have wood panels (as far as I know painted with some kind of "plastic") - would these products safe to be used on the wood trim as well?
Do QID and Natural Shine Protectant contain any silicones or maybe "outgassing" ingridients? I sometimes spend 12 hours in my car driving, and I do care about the health aspect of the products used. Since I usually keep the cars I like for a very long time, I would be interested about long term effects of using / not using Meguiars interior care products as well as interior dressings in general.
Looks like keeping the interior in perfect shape is a bit more complicated than keeping paint in perfect condition.
Thanks, Alex
