Default CG Silk Shine

I got a couple question about Silk Shine...

1. Hows the clean ability? it's a 5/10 on the site

2. How is the gloss that it leaves behind?

If possible, can someone compare SS to 303 or 1Z cp ( i have both)

Thanks

Silkshine is a lot like 303...on dusty interior surfaces and even dirty ones are cleanable with silk shine...the gloss is very similar to 303

That pretty much sums it up. Not quite the cleaning ability of Cockpit but as good or better than 303 and has a nice smell to it as well.

I've used Silk Shine on tires and like it. Of course, being water-based, it won't last too long, but it gives a very nice satin finish. Just make sure you wipe it on good and you shouldn't have any "sling".

I started to use it on my tires last week and I love it. I used to use natural look but it would take 3 coats to really make it look good. With this stuff all I did is spray it on and use an applicator to spread it around evenly. It had some pretty good durability as I drove 200 miles in the rain and my tires were still pretty dressed.

I use SS on leather,dashes,plastics,tires,trim,even underhood. Dilute it 50/50 with water and it's even better.
