What is Interior Dressing?

Interior Car Dressing Application

Interior dressing for a car refers to a type of product that is used to enhance and protect the surfaces inside a vehicle. Most people will know them as the product that gives the greasy or slick feeling to a car’s interior. Contrary to this popular belief, not all dressings are like this, and in fact higher end dressings are very good at leaving little to no residue while also providing protection to the plastic panels of a car. In this article, we’ll go over what they are and what products we recommend using for DIY use.

Product type and ingredients

Interior dressings typically come in the form of a spray or liquid that can be applied to the surfaces of a car's interior. They may contain ingredients such as silicone, wax, or oil, which help to add shine and provide a protective layer.

Surfaces they can be used on

Interior dressing products can be used on a variety of surfaces inside a car, including the dashboard, seats, door panels, and center console. They can help to protect these surfaces from fading, cracking, and other types of damage that can occur over time due to exposure to sunlight, heat, and other environmental factors.

Disclaimer

It's important to note that not all interior dressing products are created equal, and some may be better suited for certain types of surfaces than others. It's always a good idea to read the label and follow the manufacturer's instructions when using any type of automotive product.

Product Recommendations

CarPro Perl:

This product is perfect for those looking for a satin finish. You can dilute it to the level of shininess you would like, and if you can spray it on with a regular spray bottle.

Meguiar’s Hyper Dressing

Product Link: https://amzn.to/3O6eXAo

This product is similar to CarPro Perl, but the difference I find is it has a little bit sweeter of a scent, and can be used to give tires more of a wet look. You can always dilute it to make less shine, but it is better used for more. It comes in a gallon size, so it will last quite some time.

Suds Lab Interior Dressing

Product Link: https://amzn.to/3W1QHRZ

This product is a great mix between Hyper Dressing and CarPro Perl when it comes to mixing the shine and satin finish effect. It isn’t effective as tire shine, however it will suit you greatly as an interior dressing. Widely available in the 32oz size.
