Alot of newer vehicles have the vinly dash but then door and front of dash are plastic. What is recomended for the plastic areas. Is #40 vinly/rubber ok or do y'all use something else.
Also, what abou the rubber trim around the windows and seals inside door.

I personally would not use #40 (or any other vinyl/rubber product) for interior plastic due to potential smearing and streaking. I normally just use a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with water for these tasks.

On the other hand, the rubber trim around windows and seals would be a good place to use #40.
 
I guess #40 is ok.

What I use is:

1Z Vinyl-Rubber Care and Protectant - for vinyl / plastic, interior / exterior

1Z Rubber Protection (Gummi Pflege) - for rubber seals.


I also use Pinnacles vinyl for interiors cause of the smell, and Poorboys Trim Restorer on trim.

Others also use PB Natural Look, but I don't have it.

Most tho, use 303. I have it but it's not better than others I mentioned here.
 
Are we talking about smooth plastic (like fake woodgrain and aluminum), or textured hard plastic (as often found on molded door map pockets)?

For smooth plastic, I don't like to apply dressings. However, I do like using UV protectants on textured plastic. 303 Aerospace and Poorboy's Natural Look are my favorites for that application.
 
I use Poorboys Natural Look and wouldn't change! It's the best I've tried and I've tried many.
 
For the items in the 3 photos, my choice would be Trim Restorer for the exterior mirror housing and Natural Look for the interior pieces.

I second 1Z
Awsome stuff!!
 
1Z

Go with the 1Z Cockpit Premium... Use it to clean ALL of my vinyl/plastic. Has a very clean smell to it.

I follow with 303, then wipe it to creat a matt finish.

Nice stuff that 1Z!
