What is the best protectant

[mx5]

For all of you looking for detailing products from Meguiars that CMA or Autopia may not carry, you can order online from them now. I am not sure if this would be considered SPAM. Sorry.

Here`s a link for the Meguiar`s Product Showroom. Upon initial inspection it looks like the prices are very similar to what my local autoparts store charges. Except for the #20 Sealant was $3 cheaper. Good info waxman!

Ordering online can be done at Eagle One. Especially good for those that can`t get their Satin Finish Tire Shine or their great Tire Cleaner from a local source.

Only if you`re THE Waxman for Meguires , otherwise no.

Hmmm...show me a link to the Satin Finish product on their site.

I have a written request into Eagle One and will get back to everyone as to the status of Satin Finish Tire Shine.

I would like to know which protectant is best for all plastic and vinyl material
inside and out and which one protects the best and last the longest

In my experience, I`ve found that pure olive oil cut with about 30% red wine vinegar does an amazing job of protecting vinyl and plastics. Regardless of environment, temperature, sunlight exposure, useage; you can easily expect to see upwards of 35 months of unbridled protection, with a subtle matte shine.

303 Protectant is widely regarded as one of the best protectants against UV radiation and is used by many to protect interior vinyl and leather. I`m not sure how to determine longevity, though. 303 is water-based. Any time you wipe down the interior surface with a damp towel, I would think that you would be removing some of it. I just applied 303 to my leather seats a few days ago and am pleased with the results. I`ll probably re-treat the seats on a monthly basis.

I have never used Ultima Interior Guard Plus (though I do use its exterior cousin), but I have read that it lasts a very long time. It is a polymer sealant that can be applied to vinyl, plastic, and coated leather. Given how well Ultima`s Tire and Trim Guard Plus has worked for me, I`ve been tempted to purchase a bottle of UIG and try it out.

I would have to agree that 303 ranks among the best for UV protection, longevity, and low-gloss good looks.:iagree:

303 is badass

I also have been using m40 on my cheaper jobs due to it`s decent cleaning power.

In terms of protecting i don`t think anyone would argue that 303 is top notch

Disregard my previous smart ass response, +1 for 303 Aerospace Protectant!

I used it to treat my tires a few weeks ago, today I had my wheels off doing some work on the car so I took the opportunity to hose them down and clean them up. The inside that hadn`t been treated sheeted water like unprotected paint, the side that had 303 applied shed almost all the water and beaded up what was left. The 303 side definitely had a more even smooth look it! Not shiny by any means but a very clean look.

Haha... yeah, you never know when some young novice detailer will try it and make a post stating... "I found the olive oil and vinegar to be a bit greasy, but it does last forever!"

(BTW, have you ever tried 303 on a fresh green salad?)

It`s a little bitter for my tastes Bill.
