If you like it, that's all that matters. I've never found a use for it personally.
I'd have to mimmick 03mustang though... I'm not so sure that I'd use it on the steering wheel! I'm sure that all of the detailers here that either do this as a primary or secondary job will echo the fact that it *could* be problematic from the standpoint of grip on the wheel. Like most, I also won't do anything to brake or gas pedals from a coating standpoint. WAAAY too much liability there for me.
Just be careful!

I do everything except the actual wheel (the horn/airbag cover area, column, etc) and use Stoners or NXT glass cleaner on the actual part your hands touch, lol. I did say steering wheel column, lol.
It's actually good, but wait, you're commenting on it spinning off tires and my bottle clearly says 'Interior' Tech Protectant... maybe we're not talking about the same stuff? What I really like about it is it doesn't give a un-natural, or overly oily/greasy look (but only when re-buffed with a clean microfiber - it comes out perfect just like I like it). I've seen some pics of trucks on autotrader that just about made me puke their interiors where so oily it looked like they took a paint brush and painted it with 90wt gear oil, lol. I wouldn't even wanna get in a vehicle like that, that's just nasty.
Like even with tire shine, I steer more towards that 'brand new' tire look then that more wetter then water look, heh.

It was originally called Tech Protectant (no interior). As one of a few that tinkered with it pre-release, I guess my stuff is, shall we say, 'dated'.
I'm not much of an interior 'gloss' kind of guy but will occasionally wipe down with Vinylex (more for the sunscreen component than the gloss). Maybe they've tinkered with the formulation (Meg's does this *A LOT*).

Yea I'm not much for the interior gloss either (ok, I think I've made myself clear on that, lol) That's why I do the extra re-buff step with a clean fiber towl to take away most of that. I do like the slightly deeper color and it keeps the plastic from getting that dried out/aged look and keeps it showroom - that's all I'm really after. Hopefully the NXT also has some stuff in it to protect from the sun too...lol. Why else would they call it protectant?
BTW, I think we need a live chat for the detailing forum today, lol.

I've nearly slipped before... I try to make it a habit to never step on them, personally. I know they're there to use but, I just can't bring myself to scuff them up.

I found another one of those nasty gear-oiled interiors today looking at trucks on ebay....lol. For example what I'm talking about:
That's just nasty, ugly, and un-natural imo. My pic of my truck on the first page is a perfectly even matte/brand new looking and natural finish.
