Hey all. I searched the forums (maybe the wrong one?) but didn`t see this in the product discussion. What do you guys use for vinyl dressing on your interior and do you use a different product for exterior trim and tires ect?
I bought some 303 but the stuff is a bit pricey to be smearing all over the SS every weekend. And I have also been getting a streaky spotty finish with it too.
Any suggestions on interior vinyl and exterior trim and tires dressing? Preferably something over the counter, but I would gladly order it for the right product.
Thanks!

I used 1z-einszett Vinyl-Rubber. For interior only Cockpit Premium would be a better option.

Is that made by Sonus?

You could get Lexol Vinylex which is available nearly everywhere, but it`s high gloss. You could always apply it and go back over it with a clean microfiber towel to take some of the sheen out. You can get it in spray form or in wipe form. (which is news to me)
Lexol Leather Care (http://www.lexol.com/vinindex.html)
Works well on interior trim as well as exterior. I`m sure there are other OTC options, I just can`t think of them at the moment.

My bottle of 303 lasted me about 4 years.

Meguiars Quick Interior Detailer is pretty decent for OTC

i use 303 aerospace by spraying on a clean foam sponge and then rubbing into the surface evenly, ive had no problems ...
try spraying on your applicator and working in .

I use Optimum interior protectant, the customers love the smell and it works great.

I also use 303 on a terry sponge or MF sponge. I rub in, let sit for 20 minutes, and then re-apply where it seems to have soaked up, then wipe down with a MF.
I also use Meg`s 40 on the outside trim, door seals (or 303). I just tried it on 1/2 of the interor, and find that its a bit too shiny for my likes.
For OTC. 303 on interior. Usually wipe it down with a MF after. Lately I have been using the Megs Ultimate Protection on exterior and am really happy so far with the durability. Used it on my retractable bed cover and thru one week and a rain storm, it still looks as if I just put it on.

Yeah, most of the time that`s all I use on interiors. I find that (for *my* vehicles in *my* situation, YMMV...) interior "protection" usually isn`t all that necessary.
For exterior trim, roughly 95% of the time I use either the Klasse twins or 845, *not* a dressing-based approach.
Tires- Z16 almost exclusively.
