What is the best protectant

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.

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

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.

GTechniq - now that would be a great new line for PAC to carry, (as VISA Card trembles in wallet!) seriously - that would be a great line to pick up!

303 may work well for interiors but for exteriors it is not a durable product at all IME. Even over night dew made a drippy mess out of 303 on my trim.
ARe you (OP) looking for ONE product that will be great on the inside as well as the ouside ?

Someone is paying attention.
Which one do you suggest for INTERIOR and EXTERIOR applications?
I'm seeking.
Some of the pros here may laugh at this, but I found some Nu Vinyl when cleaning out the mom-in-law's house and applied it on the exterior components of my Ford Fusion. Still looks awesome after a few weeks of terrible winter weather.
