My brother uses this stuff, and for the price, it looks good and does smell nice. I have no idea on what's in it though.

Natural Shine?

I used that stuff for several years until I got a free bottle of QUD. To be perfectly honest, I am really torn between the two, but I think in the future, I will go back to Natural Shine. I like that it is great on door jambs, cleaning the plastic of coffee (in the cupholders) and whatnot. QID hasn't yet performed up to the level I like, but then again, there is a HUGE drawback to Natural shine: The Fog. (explained below)

It seems that every time I use QID, the next day there is a greasy fog on the inside of the windshield. This fog smears when I wipe it (I keep a spare MF handy to wipe glasses, windshield, etc), and can be quite dangerous. So, I have strayed away from it recently. Being a Vol. FF, I cannot afford ANY lack of visibility, especially when it is something that takes glass cleaner to fix...
So, if/when I am not actively fighting fires, I will be using NS, but at the present time, out of safety alone I am using QID. (I NEVER thought I would hear myself say that...)

Every so often I'll hit the inside with 303 Aerospace.

I do NOT like a glossy look, it causes too much glare. I use Megs QID and cheap Walmart MF's, wiping it thoroughly dry.

And last I heard, so does RockPick
Actually, I'm using both PBNL and QID... Both, in my opinion, are fantastic products.

hmmm... maybe once I get a few customers done I can invest in some PBNL (and the SSR line and the Nattys line, and the PWC, etc...)

The only thing i have found so far that works well and I like in my Mustang is PB Trim Restorer. It works very well in the Stang so I would imagine it would work as well in the 04-08 Trucks since the dashes seem to be very similar

Poorboys Natural Look and Meguiars Natural Shine. Flip a coin, I'm happy using both.

I only use 303 Aerospace Protectant. I work for a marine engine company and I am around boats all the time - the only thing we've found to protect vinyl and rubber in tropical climates (i.e. around the equator) is the 303. You can almost watch the vinyl or rubber disintegrate with the silicone based stuff like Armor All.

Whatever you use make sure it'n NOT silicone based. Microscopic silicone spheres act like little magnifying glasses to accelerate the suns degrading effects on vinyl and rubber.
