I clean the dash, doors console, carpets, etc. with the 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover - 32 oz. Leaves no residue behind, highly effective and totally safe. If you want the better get the concentrated version of this cleaner (303 Fabric & Vinyl Cleaner - 32 oz), which is also today's daily special at www.DetailedImage.com normally $14.99, today $11.24 or 1 Gal is normally $39.99, today $29.99.

For UV protection and a matte finish try the 303 Aerospace Protectant - 16 oz or the Optimum (OPT) Protectant Plus - 17 oz. Both have solid UV protection, darken the finish without leaving a greasy or oily residue behind.

Let me know if you have any questions about these products.

I bought 303 based on the recommendations here, and I wasn't impressed. It left lots of streaks on the dash and doors of my 07 Z06. I haven't found a product that doesn't streak yet, but I will post if I do. So far I have tried ICE and 303. I am trying Meguires next. Just trying to save some people some money.

That is very surprising as I have had nothing but good results with 303. Perhaps you got a bad batch?

I've been using 303 on my vehicle interiors for years and have not encountered this issue.

did you prep the surface first? There could have been residual product from previous applications. Some megs APC at 10:1 would remove any old product.

Aerospace 303 and Adam's VRT are my goto products no streaking with ether one > if used correctly buff out before it starts drying out (don't use on a hot dash or in direct sunlight) the secret is to apply sparingly and in smallish sections about half the dash or door and buff out with a quality micro fiber towel . over lap on second application on the other half and blend in

I've been using Meguires #40 for over 15 years. Smells great, not greasy, matte finish, & UV protection. Also, it's very easy to use...not lots of rubbing/buffing.

I love the 303. It seems like it will streak if you do not use enough of it. Try putting a little more down and that may solve the problem.
