I posted this question in the car care section, but after 39 views, no answer yet.
I know some of you have used the product, so I'm hoping for some info.
Here's the question -
It sounds like this product produces results similar to Armor All (that is, a shine on plastic/rubber).
How is it different, if at all, from Armor All? Better or worse? Things it will do that Armor All won't do?
TIA, Larry
I use it full strength on my tires only with a dedicated micro fiber rectangular pad and works well. I spray one nice shot on pad and wipe tire around twice. The has worked well for many years and leaves a nice semi gloss look.

For my tires, I have used Adam’s Polishes VRT for years and have been very pleased with the results. It can also be used on things like hoses, but really have not tried it on plastic parts.
Have not tried the Meguires product, but they do make quality stuff so it could be worth a try.
That was a great video. Between that video and the pics of your engine compartment I was convinced, and picked up a bottle of the Hyper Dressing at the local AutoZone. I'll give it a try at the next car wash.
I just recently started using Griot Garage's Black Shine tire dressing and have been very happy with that.
StocktonC7GS Thank you for sharing this video. I have always been afraid to use my power washer on my vette. I will now!
I agree with CorvetteMike2004 on this one…
I've always been afraid to pressure wash the engine bay even though I have a low pressure washer for the task. I'll give the pressure washer and the Meguiar's Hyper Dressing a try the next time the sun rolls out.
OP, thanks for the video and pointing to this Meguiar’s stuff.
Note: My cleaner of choice was Simple Green diluted 1:1. Sprayed heavy, let it sit for 10 minutes. Used a soft brush for gentle cleaning then rinsed with my pressure washer. I used my leaf blower to blow off most of the water then fired her up and took her for a drive to dry off the remaining water before I applied the Meguiar's Hyper Dressing.
Good luck Guys!

The before and after photos look great! What a difference there is with a light cleaning of Simple Green, a water rinse and the Meguiar's Hyper Dressing. Well done.
Since I started this thread off by asking about the product, and then buying it to try, it seems like a follow-up is in order. Here are two 'after' pics (sorry - no 'before' for comparison). I think I applied it too heavily, plus I used it straight out of the bottle with no dilution (which I think I should have done). I had to wipe/blot some of the excess. It's a nice look; I'm pleased with it. It gave a really nice look to the black plastic air intake pieces.
I prefer using 1 - 4 dilution but I do clean my engine bay regardless of use every month. I don't like the thick heavy glossy look which I also find dirt easily attaches to. I used a product similar the Maguire's decades ago. I found it through a detailer friend of mine. Bought it from a local detailing supply shop in San Diego. Those where the years I was really nuts with car shows. I once owned a Corvette that never saw rain in the 10 years I owned it. Two Corvettes that only went out of their garage for car show. Bought a 1990 Corvette Convertible 6 speed FX because I didn't want to drive my 1990 ZR-1 in rain. No more. I just like keeping my rides clean and driving them now.
Great video by the way and appreciate your many contributions. I learned a few tricks from the others you have posted on the web. And yes, Matt with Obsessed Garage is beyond OCD! I meet him about ten years ago at a Cars & Coffee. He just took delivery on a Porsche GT4. Wow! is all I can say about his cars. Interesting how he made a profitable business out of his obsessive behavior.
