Looks like there's a 'smart gel' and a 'smart detail' on the smartwax website - the gel recommended more for rubber trim and tyres. Very interesting. Thanks for the tip. My other half's FL1 looks like it's in dire need of some.

when i finish my current supply of car stuff, i'm going to look at smartwax stuff

not got muuch plastic on the outside of the FL2 though, only mirrors and those c pillar bits, and the roof bars, plastic strips, OK a bit of plastic, but not as much as my old FL2.1  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

yes you can use in inside,but there is a product for interior called smartdressing,it smells like coconut,its a fair bit cheaper than the gel to,its ok as a dressing on tyers to.,but dont last as long as the gel,and after rain/dew u get run marks in it,so dont use it on exterior plastic,the gel the one for this.hope this helps colinrr. bought from performancemotercare/loads on e bay to. Current: Freelander 2 GS, Orkney Grey, Factory fit privacy glass, design pack and Clearview pack.

Unless I missed it, the interior applications are gloss, now as the interior at the moment is a matt finish be very carefull what you want to end up with.
A shiny dash will play havoc in the sun.
