Alternative to 303 Protectant?

I like the 303 Protectant and i use it for a LOT of different things ... both interior and exterior of the car, but are there any comparable alternatives that i can pick up (maybe even locally) to use on customers cars? the stuff is rather expensive and because its to multipurpose, it ends up getting used quite a bit. What else is there that's maybe cheaper that i won't be afraid to use all the time?



thanks

I avoid silicones, so 303 is the only way for me. I do have some of Zaino's tire shine, but am unsure about the silicones, and it says on the bottle not for interior use.



There's a Boater's Supply near me, and they sell the 16 oz. 303 for about $12, and the 32 oz. for under $20. There's even a gallon size for refill.
 
Give Vinylex a try. I'm interested in ordering some of it, haven't used it in a while but is a top notch protectant
 
I used Vinylex for quite some time. I was very impressed with it, it was just not shiny enough for me. Its not really that cheap though.

Try West Marine's Vinyl Protectant. It looks, smells, and has the same consistency as 303 and is definately cheaper. It is a tad bit shinier, but definately nothing over the top.

Good ol' Armor All apparently is totally safe to use these days. If you layer it, you should get the shine you want without breaking the bank every application
 
Don't get me wrong, i'll still use 303 Protectant on my BMW, but i may just go the Armor All route for my family's cars and some customers. The picky ones of course will get 303. Tell you the truth, i had been thinking Armor All, but wasn't sure about any apparent side effects or whatnot ... but as cheap as it is, i'll go ahead and splurge ... lol



thanks

EO Protectant is good too. I use the lotion, so I don't the overspray. it seems to last through a few washings and rain pretty good if you let it set for a while before wiping off the excess. Not as shiny as some other stuff though, so I don't know if that would suit you or not.
