0 ChargerMatt Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I use it on the door panels, but on the dash I use LC. It's not as shiny and looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BlueGenCoupe Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Its best to apply it at full strength and buff off with a MF towel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BRZN Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Leather Conditioner matte finish SVRT gloss finish Levelling with a microfiber towel will knock the gloss down on both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yep, I use SVRT on the doors (water proof) and LC on the dash and center areas. I just knock the shine down with an MF towel. Works the bees knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 vm1971 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Is it still "correct" to say that the LC has a higher SPF, too? (dash in sunlight, etc.) i use it inside for the matte / better than factory look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Chris@Adams Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 SVRT is not recommended for interior use, use LC instead. Adam's Leather & Interior Conditioner - 16oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Diggerdan11 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Its best to apply it at full strength and buff off with a MF towel! I use SVT all the time on my dash, doors and trim but i buff it off with a towel to get rid of some of the shine. I use the LC on just my seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ChargerMatt Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I was told to use the SVRT on my interior.... It's a matter of opinion. There's no harm on using it on the interior. The only reason you shouldn't is because of the glare is can cause. But if you knock it down with a wipe down or just use it on the door panels, no harm no foul.

0 Blue04SSS Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I use it on my interior on certain areas like the door panels for water repellant. But like stated the glare is worse than LC so i use that everywhere else, plus the spf is higher in the lc so it will protect the dash and other areas from fading better than svrt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Blue04SSS Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Is it because of glare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 egott_91 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Adam strongly discourages use of SVRT on interiors. I believe in version 6 of the videos, he states that he doesn't use the VRT because it has more shine than he likes for the interior of his vehicles. I use SVRT on the upper half of the door panels, but that's it since that's the only spot water hits if it's raining and you roll the window down.

0 thedak Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Old VRT on the dash for a succulent gloss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 THE Mook Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 SVRT is ok to use on door panels. Too much glare otherwise. You want it on door panels because of the water repellent property. LC should be used everywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Yes, it's NOT because it will harm the interior surfaces, it's because it's shinier... As stated above, I use it on the doors because I drive mine in all sorts of weather and don't want to see the runs of the LC or original VRT. I did it before SVRT was out and my doors looked like a hooker stuck out in a rain storm. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dipolley Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Like most everyone said, and to reinforce what Mook stated, SVRT can be used on interior peices. However, it is not as effective as Leather Conditioner. SVRT is shinoer that the Leather Conditioner. Leather Conditioner is designed to protect, enhance, and revitilize your interior panels and leather, reintroducing vital moisture and protecting it from the sun. SVRT has SPF 35, where the Leather Conditioner is SPF 65, making it a much better choice for the interior, where the glass can amplify the harmful effects of the sun. Leather Conditioner is also perfect for convertibles and motorcycles. If you chose to use SVRT on the interior for its water-repellent (not water-proofing) properties that is fine. Use it on your lower door panels and on your Weathertech floor mats in the winter time. Be careful and let it dry a bit longer than ussual as it can be a little slick right after you first put it on. Tack it down with a Microfiber Utility towel after applying. Avoid using it on your pedals. Also if you use SVRT on the dash have polorized sunglasses as it will reflect...a lot. (This is why I don't use it on the interior.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Vincenzo Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I use SVRT on my doors because if I roll down the window at a drive through in the rain, get out of my car in the rain, stupidly leave the windows down in the rain, etc, the water beads off really well. LC tends to leave streaks when it gets wet, in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
