Dressing Your Car’s Interior
June 21st, 2009 |It does not matter if you love cheap used Hondas or any type of Mitsubishi vehicles, the one thing all car owners love to take care of is the interior of their car. Face it, we spend a lot of time in our cars driving back and forth to work or running the kids to whatever event they have to go to. This is why consumers love to dress the inside of their car as well as the trim and tires. Choosing the best products however to keep the interior of those cheap used Hondas looking spiffy can be a bit daunting, especially when you are faced with the variety of products that are currently on the market. What do you buy to use on the leather seats of Mitsubishi vehicles? And can it be used on the dashboard as well? Let's take a look at some of your choices.
There are two kinds of dressing you can use for the interior of your car to make it look sharp: water based and solvent based. Both of them have their place in your car and they both have pros and cons. The best way to look at these dressings is like this: use the water based dressings for the interior of your car and use the solvent based dressing on the exterior. Water based dressing will break apart water that comes in contact with it, thereby causing your vehicle to lose the look you are going for. Solvent based dressings tend to repel water. They also provide dull vinyl and rubber on the outside of the vehicle a nice shine, and they last longer when they are exposed to the elements.
Water based dressings are very easy to use and can be applied straight from the bottle. They will provide you with everything from a matte finish to a high gloss depending on the product you use. However, if you do not like the results, you are a bit stuck with it until the next time you apply dressing to your car's interior. You cannot dilute a water based dressing with water to dull down the results. If you want a good water based dressing that is dry to the touch when applied, you need to use a water based finish that professionals use. They usually do not cost any more than the standard retail dressings and can be found in specialty car shops.
Solvent based dressings are very good at restoring the faded trim and plastic on the outside of your car and they provide these trims with UV protection. You simply apply the dressing from the bottle with an applicator until you get the desired finish. The more solvent based dressing you use, the glossier the finish you will get. High-gloss on tires simply requires you spraying the finish on the tires and letting it dry. These dressings can be used on rubber and vinyl on the outside of your vehicle as well.
