I guess Armor All has fallen out of favor for interior trim, vinyl what have you.  What do the members of the hive mind use instead?

Let chaos begin...

303 is the shiznit. E

Go ahead and buy the big jug and an empty spraybottle. You will find endless uses for the stuff.

Aerospace 303 rules, but it can be tough to find locally. The next best thing that you can get anywhere is the Meguiar's Ultimate protectant. If you do one coat, it has a nice matte finish, and two coats make everything shiny.

I've been using Vinylex forever and have been happy with it. I have heard a lot of good things about 303 as well.

I've had more luck finding 303 in sporting goods/outdoor stores in the boating sections. I've found it at Bass Pro,  Wal-mart (boating section) and so on. Boating and kayak guys love this stuff (myself included). 

It doesn't have any shine to it.

303 is readily available at Camping World or Gander.

303 is available on Amazon as well. I really like the stuff, works better than most out there.

Vinylex is good, 303 is good too.

I'm strongly considering buying the gallon bottle of the 303, as I have an Amazon order I need to put together soon for a few projects.   Is Amazon the cheapest pace to find it, or can it be found for the same price/cheaper IRL?

How glossy is the 303? I'm a big fan of the semi-matte/natural shine type finish. (But I usually buy the armor all version.)

I use a variable layer of dust.  Easiest thing ever.

303 and Vinylex both provide a semi-matte finish that looks pretty natural, it's not that high gloss you get from Armorall or some of the other treatments.

It's cheaper at Walmart (at least online)  $40 vs $47 or over $50 (depending on what Amazon wants you to see...)

Yeah, I read that Wally's online price was cheaper.    I'm just not sure if I want to venture into the store to see if they have it, and if it is indeed cheaper there.

Huh.   

Just Googled it again, and now Amazon has it for $40.36 with Prime one day shipping.

Pre-seat belt days my little brother cleaned my car for orange soda and a bag of onion rings.  He used Liquid Gold furniture polish.

First left hander I was looking at the pedals grasping for the wheel laying on the seat!

looked good though .....
