Dashboard treatment

There are several threads touting the virtues of 303 Aerospace Proctectorant for the dashboard, but has anyone had good results using Vinylex?

I use Vinylex to clean then 303 to protect. If its not too dirty I just use 303 to clean and protect.

Thanks. What kind of finish does 303 leave behind? Is it shiny like Armorall or is it a matte finish?

303 leaves a nice sort of matte finish. Not too shiny, but not dull. Hard for me to explain. Looks really good. Doesn't make things oily like armorall does and can be used on pretty much every part of your car. Get some and try it. I picked mine up at a local market type store (don't think they have the store anywhere else but Hawaii) so I'm sure they have it at some local stores in your area.

I use 303 on the dash, rubber seals around the doors, trunk and the plastic around the moonroof. This stuff is awesome and last a long time!!

I just picked up some at ACE hardware yesterday.

I was quite impressed with the results. It left a great matte finish (basically just looks really clean) that isnt the least bit greasy. Another nice thing is that it didn't streak on the hard plastics like the other protectants i have used either.

So, are you all talking about the 303 Aerospace Product? They have so many choices, there is a special formula for the wiper blades..... What is best for the dash?

For the dash, we are referring to 303 Aerospace Protectant.

Is there anyone who uses the 303 cleaner first and then the protectant? How does the look compare to cleaning with just the proctectant? I bought the protectant. The store where I bough it did not have the cleaner. I'm trying to figure out if I need to track down the cleaner and use that prior to the protectants?
