I have a bottle of each. What are people's experiences with either for interior and exterior detailing? This would include vinyl (dashes, back of seats, etc.) as well as exterior rubber and hard (black) plastic trim.

Thanks,
Neil
 
I've not used the 303 but the vinylex is a great product, it does shine a lot but that's what I like
 
no no no no....I think Armor All is by far betetr...HAHAHAHA....sorry I just really bored and I felt like saying something dumb
 
Another vote for the matte look of the 303. The fact that it has UV protection is a plus, too. Never used Vinylex, but if it leaves a shiny finish, I don't like it.:p

On the paint, man. Not on the tires or the dash. It took me an hour to scrub the shiny tire dressing off of 4 new tires after the tire shop messed them up with some shiny crap. Obviously someone likes it since they sell the heck out of the shiny stuff. :confused:
 
I'm new to the site and just tried 303 and Vinylex for the first time because of the recommendations I've read and, how's this for a "poltically correct answer", I like them both! (for different reasons):

303 - for the interior, on dash, doors and leather seats too! Gives a slight satin sheen, nothing slick and greasy. Doesn't attract dust.

Vinylex - on the tires, and I must say that of all the tire dressings I've used I think I like the Vinylex the best. Gives a nice satin sheen. Just what I've been looking for. If you want the "wet look" then Vinylex isn't for you.

Just my opinion but I wouldn't use Vinylex on the interior and I don't think 303 gives enough sheen to the tires.

This is a perfect example of why there are so many different products on the market. The 303 look is just what I was looking for on the tires.:)
Like I said, the shiny stuff sure is popular, though.
 
charles one thing about Vinylex, it is only slightly more glossy than 303 and not at all like armor all or meg's natural shine. Also you can buff out the shine of Vinylex giving it almost the same look as 303. I like both and depends on the situation. My own black interior I use 303 especially like it on the black leather.
 
I offer two types of finishes one the I use Vinlyex for the high gloosy shine and a 3M product that offers a natural type of finish. I let the customer tell me what they like
 
But what about interior and exterior durability? Will 303 wash off (I think I saw that in a post somewhere) if I use it on exterior trim (hard and soft rubber)? And what about that hard black plastic that is around windshields and rear windows?
 
I use Stoner's Trim Shine on the outside trim, Vinylex isn't bad, it just doesn't last quite as long. I do the trim before I do the paint, that way the trim cleans up nice.
