Default What do you use to dress vinyl interior?

Just curious to know what you use to dress the vinyl interior. I have been using a supposedly low gloss product from Mothers but it really is shiney, and also it is water soluble so when I spray the windows to clean them, I get big blotches on the dash. What I would like is a very low gloss cleaner/dresser - any ideas? Thanks all.

I need something to get rid of that annoying white residue on my dash and door panels.

Will aerospace 303 take care of that?

This sounds good, but does it leave a natural flat finish, or a glossy finish, like armor-all?

Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Conditioner works very well on vinyl/plastic also. The spray version is easier to use on perforated surfaces than the liquid.

I use 303 ~ been using it for years on our boats...works equally as well on the vette. I buy mine from the local boating supply store. Great stuff!

Another vote for 303. Works amazingly well on auto interiors and boat vinyl & fiberglass which is in the sun a great deal. "SPF 40 for your stuff".

Lexol VinylX, now switching to 303. Both are probably tops in their field. I've used Vinylx for about a year on my truck. Great stuff. It cleans, nourishes/replenishes, and protects with an SPF.

Used it for years - great protection, very rich low gloss sheen and doesn't attract dust.

Aerospace 303 easy to use leaves a natural clean look and will get rid of those white scuff marks.
