Must be your first trip inside the wash and wax forum.


303 is the main protectant used around here but there sre others like Sonus and Vinylex.

For leather there are a few food choices. Townsend, Zaino, and Lexol seem to be the most used.

I like 303 on the interior vinyl, but I prefer Sonus Total Eclipse - it seems to finish down with a more matte look without extra buffing. Definitely use a dedicated leather protectant on the leather surfaces - brands as recommended above.

i still usually prefer vinylex for vinyl, but also use 303.

I would also agree that it's important to have different products for leather and vinyl/plastic/rubber.

To the list I would like to add Poorboy's Natural Look. It's similar to 303, but has a bit of a fruity smell to it. Thankfully, the smell fades REALLY quickly, but it's nice when you first spray it on. I believe it also has bacteriocides in it. So, I often spray it down vents to kill any mold or mildew.

I would also like to add Zymol Leather Cleaner and Zymol Leather Conditioner. I've used Lexol and it smells AWFUL, but does a good job. I have yet to use the Townsends products. The Zymol leaves a nice factory looking finish (meaning little to no shine) and the cleaner does a great job as well. Plus, you can pick it up locally at Target and some other stores. It smells good too.
