I have remnants of lot's of old products laying around...

Zymol for when I want to 'escape' to the Caribbean with a pina colada scent.

Back to Black (and nameless others), when I want to relive rubber rejuvenation memories from my 86 Carrera days.

Vinylex, which frankly works pretty well with UV protection and not too shiny finish. Easy to find too...

But the 303 bests them all - easy on, easy off, nice finish, strong protectant formulation and UV guard. It's less of a "look" thing in that 303 really does protect, hence the primary use on boats that get BEAT with water, salt and sun. I use it on all vinyl and rubber, interior and exterior. Even tires if I am feeling racy and want to tart up the 'ol girl.

PS, for those of us in Canada, it's also available at Crappy Tire.

Well, I can only echo the raves. I have been threatening to use the stuff for years and finally bought a bottle online this spring. I have tried just about everything but 303 leaves them all in the dust.

no pun intended!!

I've found (through several 911s) that the vinyl on the dash is what is outgassing. When you have a leather dash they don't.

That's such a dumb statement that it probably doesn't even merit a comment. But maybe in a hope to get through: I own a Miata and am on my 2nd 993 in the last 6+ years. I think I have a very decent ability to compare the two cars. Miata is a better car in many respects, 993 in other respects. Certainly Miata is a better autocross car. Go chew on that for a while.

/\ +1 Please don't make me post some vids from a PCA event in my '96 NA. Momentum car vs. HP car. Miatas are very capable, just takes a different approach to drive fast.

Sign up for emails at Autopia (The Perfect Shine) and they send out sale emails often and carry 303.

I've been using it for 10 years or so, starting on Jeep tops and interiors.

Does 303 Protectant actually clean plastics as well as UV-protect?
