AF dressle mini review (chicken content)

[Crybert]

Got this through the door the other day. Wasn't expecting it at all, must be part of the testers. It's water based and seems to go very far.

Its all purpose dressing for plastics and interior. Some of my plastics had faded a little so thought I'd try it out. I just used a microfibre to apply. Sprayed onto the microfibre then wiped on and buffed off.

Brought them up nicely and a little goes a long way.

tried it on the engine bay plastics and the front splitter and lower grille:

and some spicy chicken wings to warm me up! Bloody eyes were sweating after these

The product is good. it doesn't do much for the interior or the engine bay, it's not a bad cleaner but doesn't seem to blacken the interior of the clio very well. The exterior trims take the dressle better, I also tried some water on them and it sheets off which is nice. All in its a decent product and very easy to apply but one I won't be buying, there's just other ones out there that are a bit better. Not sure on pricing for this yet either.

Decent write up but from what I can see and what you've said it seems AF have not produced a very good product here, They already have Revive which for a Temp Plastic treatment is good so not sure where Dressle will find its market?

This just looks the same as Meguiars Ultimate Trim & Dash Restorer

Pretty spot on there. There are a lot of products out there which do the job better. It's too watery, I prefer a sort of gel like poorboys for temp plastic treatment. It's not a terrible product, just think it could be better. We will see how it lasts

Gotta agree the results don't look particularly great.

Erm, where are the after photos? The above look like photos of my trim once cleaned, prior to applying a dressing...

Might be the phone or the lighting but I can assure you that the car was given a good clean prior to dressing. The plastic trims(outer) you can see the difference however engine bay wise it made sod all difference.

Here's one where after I've applied I've rinsed it. The water sheets off

should add, I've done the lower grille in this one. It came up the best

Sorry, chap - my point was the look of the dressing after you'd applied it, not whether you'd cleaned first. I can see you've cleaned. The before photos look like matt, slightly faded trim (standard for UK cars). But the afters leave a lot to be desired (that's not an AF wax joke...).

Ah I see, confused I was..

yeah not great to be honest. Don't know if it's a finished product or not. I think it's to do with the fact it's water based. It's literally like water when u apply it. Just not thick enough IMO. Maybe AF will be along with some input.

I only came for the chicken

According to this, it is (presume you received one as well);

Interestingly, it says it can be layered (so similar to their tyre dressing). But who wants to go around their grills more than once?!
Auto Finesse - input would be appreciated.
