Does the "shininess" go away? Do you have to keep using it or does the surface (e.g., dash) dull more if it isn't repeatedly used? Thanks!

Well, the shine only lasts for so long, but it doesn't seem to be any more dull than it was prior to using the Lexol on it. I've used it 2 or 3x since I got the product and I do like it more than AmourAll. Not as 'slimy' feeling, in my opinion. I live in a rural area w/ lots of farming, so my dash gets fairly dusty periodically (like now when they're harvesting peanuts and cotton), so I don't use it a lot, just as needed. Looks great.

I have experienced no issues with fading while using this product on my leather seats.

I used it on my dash about a month ago, it's black vinyl. The shine still looks the same the day I applied it. It doesn't seem like I will have to use it anytime soon. I'll probably do it once a year if that. I don't see it becoming more dull by not repeatedly being used. Of course, not every dash is exactly the same material/quality but I think it will last a while for me.

It does not make car vinyl shiny. Quite the opposite; if you leave it on the vinyl surface too long, it may leave a white, faded look. It's a great multi purpose cleaner.

It is kind of shiny, but not too poly-looking. I'd say it's kind of subtle. If you want no shine at all, this may not be the right one, because there is some shine.

I use a tablespoon of oxyclean and hot water and let it soak overnight. Rinse and it's bright and shiny again.

It looks better if you use it for the under coat. If you do put it on top, paint another thin layer of color on top. It will be shiny again. Best of luck!

For the first 6 months the product gave a fairly good shine, but then dulled. The product last a year, but you need to spray several coats to get a thick coverage. If it is thin, it's is hard to remove.

Thank you everyone for the swift answer! Will you all recommend I use it just once a week than? I initially did not mind the peel, as it is actually clearing the dark marks of my pit and what not, it just got bad it all.

It looses it's shine, takes on a more dull gray color. But I haven't gone through extra effort yet to clean it with special copper polish or cleaner, That might bring it back to it's original condition.

Like most materials you could apply to protect that shine, this product will reduce the shine a small amount. It will protect the copper but probably prevent tarnishing for only a short time. This wax is very hard and quite durable but probably not the answer to preserving the brightness of your sink. You may try it and if it doesn'r work, mineral spirits will wash the wax away. A more durable solution might be to spray the polished shiny copper with a clear gloss lacquer (I believe there is a product called StayBrite in a spray can) designed for metal surfaces. Once again it will diminish the shine slightly but it will prevent further tarnishing for a very long time (if not forever).

It is not shiny. It is a permanent finish. For my cork floor I originally sealed with 4 wipe-on/wipe-off coats (very thin) and it looks very natural. I intend to re-seal with one coat about once a year.

Yes, it is a bit greasy (shiny) initially. But, after about 15 minutes to a 1/2 hour, it seems to soak in and then the shine is not that noticeable. For me, having very sensitive skin, this product give awesome protection and is worth a little shine. If I am concerned about it, I dab a little face powder on after about 15 minutes and the shine is gone.

Yes it will give it a polished look. Depending on how bad dull it is, you may have to do it fairy often for a time.

I've had mine for over a year and it's still amazing. Since it's ran off of electricity instead of a battery I'm assuming it doesn't get dull until it goes out. It's still as bright and effective as ever! :)

You will want to use the shiny side. I like the previous idea of marking it since sometimes it is hard for me to tell the difference.

I have found that you have to jiggle the nozzle sometimes to get it to engage, after that it is fine. Also, I have used this product since it first came onto the market many years ago and I NEVER had any issues with it hurting the paint. Remember to rinse the soap off with plain water first, then rinse again with the rinse filter engaged. This way you are sure to get all of the soap off and assured to have a clean, shiny, spot free car! It is a great product!

You allow it to absorb then wipe off so it didn't change surface. Don't let it dry on the surface because it can make it slippery. It's not an enhancer so it won't change the appearance either.

It is not shiny at all. I would compare the shine to a brushed stainless steel.
