Name: Prima Nero Size: 16 fl oz (also available in 1 gallon size) Price: $12.95 ($49.95 for 1 gallon size) Price per oz: $0.81 ($.39 if purchased in 1 gallon size) Package: Blue bottle with spray head included Color: White Consistency: Watery Smell: Pina Colada, I think Review Part 1: Interior Dressing Test Vehicle: 2009 Nissan Cube Test Panel: Drivers front door panel (black plastic) Method of preparation: Entire panel was cleaned with Meguiars APC mixed 10:1 to ensure the panel was clean and free of any other dressings. Method of application: The directions state Nero can be applied directly to the surface or via a applicator. I chose to use an applicator to ensure that no over spray went on anything and that all the product was used and not wasted. I lightly spritzed the applicator and applied it to the panel evenly. As per the directions I let it sit like this for about 15 minutes. Then I came back and buffed it with a clean microfiber towel. Observations: 1. When the product is first applied it is very shiny, however between letting it dry and buffing with a microfiber towel the shine is toned down to a very satin finish. 2. This product definitely leaves a satin finish and not a matte finish at least on my plastic panels. It is slightly shinier than 303 AP but much less shiny than most other interior products on the market. To be honest it is my new favorite dressing since I always though 303AP left a little to be desired in terms of looks. 3. I would not dress the steering wheel or shift knob with this product. Although it dries completely and is not greasy with constant hand heat and contact it has a tendency to get greasy. Pics: Nero on the left, cleaned undressed on the right Nero on the left, cleaned and undressed in the middle, 303 AP on the right Whole door panel dressed with Nero Whole dash dressed with Nero Pros: 1. The satin look is easily my personal favorite look when it comes to interior dressings. Not greasy looking, but you know it's there. 2. Price, especially when ordered by the gallon, you just can beat it especially since a little product goes a long way. 3. Smell, it smells great but doesn't linger. This just makes it nice to use. Cons: 1. Not really a con, just a note. It MAY turn greasy feeling if used on steering wheel or shift knob. Review Part 2: Tire Dressing - Coming tomorrow due to running out of light for pictures. :sorry: Also stay tuned for reviews of Slick, Amigo, and Hydro coming soon!!!
Thanks for the review especially the pic against natural and 303 which I know. I would interested to see how long the sheen lasts. It looks a bit shiny for me but would really need to see it after a few days. I have been using DP TIP (will buff off to a matte finish) as of late.
