Matt finish is better for car interiors, reduceses the risk of being blinded by sun reflections and oncoming headlights.. Safety first innit....

Brasso's been around for 50 years or more...

Yes, originally they were but they seem to have been owned by the same company all along (Reckitt Bensicker) and now just branded as different types of Brasso products. You can still get the old Brasso in a liquid, of course. But the Duraglit type one isn't as I remember it.

I'm not looking for mirror dazzle but I do like shininess and pristine!

I gave the trim a polish but it was too dark to see any effect. Will report back tomorrow.
duraglit or brasso as long as it is the wadding polish and not the liquid brasso...
