Don't put any kind of 'shine' product on it. That's all I can say. I drove for 6 months looking at a half-mirror/half-windshield before my Lexol Vinylex wore off.

Don't use Armor All. It's all water based junk.

Trust me I know what you mean. I have tried many different types over the years but this Meguiars Natural Shine does not gloss up like the rest do. When you first apply it it will look wet like it will gloss up but after it completely dries it is a very nice look not shiny or glossy at all.

So does the natural shine look like armor all low shine? I hate blinding gloss.

STP Son-of-a-gun. If you like a high shine, apply it and don't buff it off. If you prefer a duller shine, then let it soak in for a few mins and buff it down. It'll just leave a nice healthy look without the glaring shine that way.

I use Zymol interior cleaner & conditioner, leaves a nice clean sheen without being obnoxiously bright.

When I bought mine the dealership had the armor all on thick. Now I have a heads up display of my defroster vent

Anyone know what will take armor all off?
