Best Interior Vinyl Cleaner/Conditioner
What Interior Vinyl cleaner/conditioners do you find work well? I'm sure part of my interior's UNIQUE aroma is a billion coats of Armor-All by the PO.
After thoroughly cleaning & treating the leather seats with Leatherique the smell improved significantly. I'm hoping a similar improvement can be had with 21st century vinyl products!

303 Aerospace. But it won't help the smell. Zaino Z10 smells good. For leather and vinyl.

This may sound odd, but I have used 409 for a more aggressive cleaner with successful results and have used Meguiars Vinyl protectant on top to restore the shine. It's not the greatest protectant out there, but it works.
I ran out of Vinylex a while back and used it in combination with 409. The results on cleaning were so successful, I didn't need to use 409 anymore and just merely slapped on any protectant I needed to.

I've tried everything, and the best semi-gloss finish that cleans and lasts is the Griot's Garage product. I know he's overpriced, but this is one instance where I'm willing to pay the premium. Works amazing on the rear wing of my S4.
BTW, you can get it at the local Advance Auto Parts store, where Griot's has a display.

I was excited to try VinylEx on the interior door of my 993, but was very upset at the shine it left behind. This stuff looks just like what I remember armor all to be. What am I missing? I want a no gloss/ or low low gloss matte finish on the interior so that it looks showroom, not soap on a rope Hai Karate vinny babarino. Thank you all in advance for your guidance.

The 303 leaves a matte finish not glossy. It's an OK treatment but I'm nos sure about its cleaning prowess. Vinyl stuff in our cars is pretty much done with infant outgassing. As Andy describes above, I use the gentlest regular cleaner necessary for the cleaning part, then 303 to restore an even non-glossy finish and color after it's all cleaned. It would be nice if some of these products really did block some UV, but the reality is that they just slow the dissipation of the plasticizers. The best protection is a cover that blocks sunlight, IMEO.
