Meguiar's Natural Shine.

I decided to do a little cleaning on the inside of my car today. I wanted to try something new so on the way home form school I stopped by work and picked up a bottle of Natural Shine. I did not expect such results so I have no before pics but I will say this stuff works wonders. You can apply Natural Shine in either one or two coats (I used one) and I'm very impressed with the way it restored the life of my old interior. Comparing this product to anything armor all would be a joke, I have used armor all for years (never on the new dash though) and it would do nothing but add a fake oily shine to anything it was applied to.

Pic of the item being reviewed.

In the first pic my faded door sills now look almost new and in the second pic you see how the areas around my gauges now again has a jet black finish (which were faded).

that faded look comes from using armor all (most light weight silicone will pull the natural oils out of plastics dry rotting them) I'd be interested in seeing what the main ingredient is (is it silicone)

I need to get rid of the remaining armor all in the storage building (parents want to try some Natural Shine as well so we have no use for the armor all anymore), I was considering using it on the plastics in my engine bay but I don't need them drying out. I guess I will see if armor all can kill fire ants.

Already have tire foam though.


BTW I found one last pic I would like to show, after I have used Natural Shine I can asure you Meguiar's will be getting a lot of my business. I'm still looking to see if they make a polish for chrome but I guess they don't, I might try some Mothers and see how that works out (giving the car a complete cleaning and polishing).

they have this:

NXT Generation® All Metal Polysh

Anti-corrosive technology locks in the shine-- NXT Generation® All Metal Polysh cleans, polishes, and protects all wheels, stainless steel exhausts, chrome air intakes and valve covers, aluminum, brass, copper, silver, and all other bright work components. Meguiar’s Microscopic Diminishing Abrasive Technology (MDAT) removes built-up oxidation, tarnishing, and staining faster and safer than traditional harsh abrasives.
Never used it, though, so I don't know how it is.

they all have a "all metal "restorer" which is what I use on my tailpipe tips.

My brother bought Natural Shine for me last year for my birthday, and I'll tell ya I totally agree with Chris on this, Natural Shine is 1000x better than any armor all product, and the quality look that it leaves to our interiors looks amazing.

First pic is half of the radiator shroud detailed with the Natural Shine.

Second pic is the before, the speaker's dirty and the rubber ring is all grey and ugly.

Third pic is the after, the speaker's clean and (can't really tell in the pic) all shiny and looking like new.
