Default Should I use Turtle Wax Interior Protectant on my Car?

I got a bottle of "Turtle Wax F21 Interior Protectant" for Christmas. It says to use on leather, vinyl, plastic and rubber, to restore shine and protect from UVA and UVB rays.

Heres a link: http://www.turtlewax.com/main.taf?p=2,1,3,4

I believe I had heart from someone on this forum that those interior sprays aren't really that great, and that some can actually damage. Any opinions?

I use that stuff all the time on the exterior of the vehicle. It works great on tires and rubber trim. I've never had a problem using it on the inside either.

People love to spread rumors. Do you really think a major company that has been making car related products for years and years is going to make a product that will harm your car? Think about it. Use it and enjoy your gift.

As long as there is no alcohol in it you'll be fine.

As for applying interior dressings, I prefer to spay it onto a foam pad and then apply it to the dash. After the whole section is covered I lightly wipe it off with a microfiber towel.

Yea it's good stuff i've always heard good things about it. Definitely won't cause you any problems.

TIP: If you do choose to spray it directly (instead of applying it with a cloth) just be careful it doesn't get on glass. It's just a bitch to get off with its smearing, etc.
