Default Can I use bumper gel on interior trim?

Dear All,

Can I use Autoglym's Tire & Bumper Gel on the interior trim of my type 44?

Tried it on a bit of my passenger door card and it leaves a nice glossy finish.

The bottle says nothing about its suitability for interior use, so I was wondering whether there could be some hidden danger in using it on my interior.

Thanks for the tip..

But I suspect the Autoglym gel should be safe to use on the inside?

I used some shiny-shit bumper gel on the rear inside panels of my car once, trouble was it was my wedding car and shiny-shit rubs off on white shirts !!

Will be ok but if it leaves a film take the excess off with a cloth . I either use autosmart vinyl gel , tango or auto grim viny and rubber stuff ( good stuff this )

Sonus cockpit detailer! Less shiny and leaves a nicer matt finish.

Yep, you can use trim gel, but it just looks to shiny and if you don't wipe the excess off, it'll just attract more dust and look worse in a week.
