Is it safe to apply DLUX on interior hard plastic?

[AndyL]

I wonder if it is safe to apply DLUX on interior plastic despite the curing time issue that is discussed here?

http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/65704-dlux-interior-trim.html

My main purpose is to create a 9H surface for some specific hard matte, slightly textured plastic in my car as it gets hairline scratches easily. Currently, I am using Gtechniq Matte Dash C6 and top it with another vinyl and plastic protectant (Jeff Werkstatt Satin Prot) as I like a slight sheen/slight satin look to the surface.

I also have the Cquartz leather and vinyl coat which, according to the instructions, it can be applied to plastic and wood trims as well. But it doesn't say it adds any 9H hardness to the surface.

Any response is greatly appreciated.

Is it going to cause any damage to your interior plastics? No.

I wouldn't get too hung up on "hardness" ratings either. Most times these claims by other coatings are not really standardized, and don't mean much in the real world. It's marketing hype.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. That makes sense.

Another consideration is the interior plastic is not machine polishable and adding something that durable may be a bit risky.

If you are concerned about "messing it up" - do a test on a scrap piece of plastic, or do a test spot in a non-noticeable area in your vehicle.
