its not that one

its the dashbord and trim gell

I have been using the one below for 2 years now and have had NO problems ,its totally non greasy (i know i spread it with my fingers ) and it dries off ,with no polishing or wiping , with a shine and it does last quite a long time. The vinyl on the horseshoe which does lose its shine quickly is much improved.

I've always been a fan of autoglym leather feeder as it gets it really black but doesn't make it too shiny so the sun will reflect up into your eyes
