Best vinyl protector what do people use

[markw81]

I’m looking at restoring protecting my vinyl dash and all interior trims.   
My new ride is a 2004 Camry and always been garaged (same family for 19 years) but mine is now going to be outdoors.  
Ive given the trims and dash a deep clean using Bowdens Own Agent Orange (was beyond due and removed a build up of grime and other stuff.  
 

But now want to protect it for the future and do not want to use Amour All.  What do people recommend that will nourish and protect and not just give it the fake armour all shine.

My go to product Is 303 Aerospace Protectant. I have also used and liked the Meguiars Quick Detailer product too.

There are so many products to choose from to be honest, but the above two are pretty much all you need for your situation.

If you are talking about leather care too, then it's another kettle of fish.

But, for vinyl, plastic and rubber I would go with the 303 because it also nourishes and protects rubber. Meguiars doesn't do rubber, only hard surfaces.

Armor all is rubbish and out dated. I don't advise using it. You want a matt,  non greasy, non glare product, especially for the dashboard.

Here's a snippet of product information for the 303.

**Keeps surfaces looking newer, and lasting longer
**Provides superior UV protection to prevent cracking & fading
**Leaves a dry, matte finish – no oily or greasy feel
**Helps repel dust, lint and staining
**Protects all vinyl, rubber & plastics
**Brightens surfaces

Originally engineered for aerospace and aviation applications, new 303® Automotive Protectant provides superior UV protection for any rubber, vinyl, and plastic surfaces of your vehicle, such as your dashboard, windshield wiper blades, and even your tires. Unlike many protectants that leave greasy residues, 303® Automotive Protectant dries to a clear matte finish without that sticky, shiny slick feeling.

303® Automotive Protectant not only protects against fading, discoloration and cracking from harmful UV rays, but repels dust and stains, too. Simply spray on and wipe dry for a beautiful, matte finish. Best of all, each application will last up to 30-45 days.

Great for use on a variety of surfaces such as: vinyl, plastics, synthetic & natural rubber, leather, eisenglass, PVC, gel coat & fiberglass. Ideal for use on your dashboard, other vinyl/leather interior surfaces of your car, tires, windshield wiper blades and more! 

DO NOT use on unfinished leathers (such as suede), fabrics (canvas), floorings, clear plastics, gauge panels, or headlights.

Usage Directions
Use only on clean surfaces.. Out of direct sun, spray surface with 303® Automotive Protectant and WIPE COMPLETELY DRY with a clean, dry microfiber towel.  Can also be applied directly onto microfiber applicator or towel before using. If streaking occurs, too much product has been used. Use a wet towel to remove excess, IMMEDIATELY wipe completely dry.

Note: this product does not air dry. Extra buffing with a dry cloth INCREASES bonding, repellency & longevity. Apply every 3-5 weeks for maximum UV protection.

For the best results, we recommend following these easy steps:
Step 1: Make sure surface is clean and dry before using.
Step 2: Spray product directly onto surface, or spray onto microfiber to apply.
Step 3: Wipe dry with a clean, dry microfiber towel. Use a wet towel to remove any excess.
Step 4: Evaluate your results. Extra buffing may be required for optimal results. It is recommended to re-treat every 30-45 days.
