Would anyone like to comment on whether or not Meguiars is better than the Lexol or vice versa?

05. So far so good, it was very easy to use. I sprayed it on, spread it around and buffed lightly after about an hour. It leaves a light natural sheen and no sliding.

Not a Blowhole
Lots of marine supply places sell 303 products.
ArmorAll does not "dry out" things literally, but it does have a negative effects on vinyl and rubber. My auto insider pals tell me that the FTC has considered acting against AA several times, but did not - perhaps market forces at work?
A chemist pal specializing in polymers summed it up as follows:
"AA chemnically makes your rubber and vinyl a junkie - once you start to use it, you have to keep using it or bad things happen. AA is especially an issue if you do not completely clean your tires and vinyl each time you use it - it acts with the dirt and brake compund dust to form a goo that can actually hasten dry rot of the rubber - by "leeching" out the rubber stabilizers and vinyl plasticizers".
************************************************** **********************
I avoid anything with high levels of either silicone oil (like the greasy look tire "treatments") or the water-soluble types like AA. I prefer products like 303, or products that use natural sunscreen/emollients - I am told that sesame oil is one such compound.

I'll have to agree with RR on that - not by means of chemical analysis, but my own experience and that of another car detailing enthusiast friend. AA is like crack-cocaine for your interior...once you start, you'll never get away
303 is the best. I've actually found it at REI before. (the outdoor camping store) It was in the section by the waterproofing sprays for backpacks and such. Though I've only seen it there the one time, I've not looked for it specifically each time I go - just kinda looked as I walked by where I found it the first time. But they DID have it.
