Which to get?

Looking to put together a small order from PB, and have a tough decision. I currently have 303 protectant (about 1/2 bottle) and just finished up a bottle of Vinylex. I wanted to get something new, but I can't decide on Natural Look or Trim Restorer. Some of the uses I am needing it for are interior dressing (leather as well), dashes, exterior rubber and plastic (somewhat grainy, it's the cowl cover). Any thoughts, that if you had to just buy one, which one you would get?
 
They are both great prtoducts and I have both. NL I use inside of the car for vinly and plastics and leather. TR I use for rubber, plasic trim on the outside of the car. I'm not sure that TR on leather would be that great but then Steve can answer that.

I vote to buy both
 
Both is good:D but if you were choosing one based on the facts that you have given, then Trim Restorer is what I'd get...

You still have 1/2 of the 303 which is better on interiors than exteriors and it seems that your real need would be an exterior trim product:bigups
 
I'm sure that I will eventually get both, but I am trying to use up the 303 before buying something else as well. I think Trim Restorer has the vote. Does TR work well on tires also? I don't like them real shiny, but a nice sheen is good. I might eventually get BnB also for the tires, but I also liked Vinylex on them the couple of times I tried it. 303 didn't seem to last long on the tires.
 
I actually traded my remaining supply of 303 with another DC member for an equal amount of Poorboy's Natural Look. He preferred 303, while I preferred NL, so it was a good trade for both of us.

Trim Restorer does work well on tires. It's fairly durable and produces a low sheen black finish. A little TR goes a long way too. I prefer to use BnB on my tires because I like the looks of a higher gloss product. The look of BnB is slightly shinier and more durable than Vinylex. I agree that 303 does not seem to last very long on tires.

Here's another suggestion you might want to consider. BnB can be diluted and used on interior surfaces. Steve can provide more specific dilution recommendations, but I believe that a 1:4 mix with water would be a good choice. BnB can also be used as a wheel well dressing. Just some food for thought.
 
I know it is not the answer you wanted but I would get both NL and TR.

NL will give a finish close to 303, nice and matte and TR does a very good job of dressing exterior trim. Like AWD says, you can also use it on tires, it just gives less of a shine than BNB would.

I have not tried it myself yet, but someone on a different forum claimed that diluted BNB gives slightly more of a shine than NL, when used on interiors.

Good luck with your decision :)
