your favorite pick

[III]

What's your pick if you had to choose from the following below:
I've used 303 and liked it. However, I've noticed that if I apply it to my tonneau cover after the first rain it will streak down the side panels. After a good wash it won't do it again. I like the matte finish that it gives, but I was wondering if maybe poorboys might be better? I'm looking for something that can be used on rubber/vinyl.

1. 303

2. poorboys natural look

3. poorboys trim restorer

4. poorboys bold n bright

303 is the only one of those you list that I have used.
It needs to be buffed off after application. The more you buff it the better. It is not a wipe on, wipe off product.

I've used both the 303, and the Natural Look on my Tonneau cover. I like them both. Haven't tried the TR or B & B on the Tonneau, and probably won't. You have to be careful what you use on those covers. Don't want to use any products with a lot of solvents/PD's or silicones.

If you use the 303, or NL, buff it REALLY well to remove ALL (not just some) of the excess, or they will streak.

I have all 4 of those products, but I've never tried them on a tonneau cover. Based on my experience with using these products on tires and exterior plastic trim, I'd say that Poorboy's Trim Restorer is the least likely to streak after a rain. 303 streaks the most. All 4 of those products should be buffed with a dry cloth. I normally wait about 15 minutes between application and buffing.

May I suggest that you use some type of all purpose cleaner to ensure that the surface is clean prior to applying your dressing. I've found that some dressings are more tolerant of preceding layers than other.
