Looking for recommendations on what others use for a vinyl conditioner/protectant on these older cars.
I've been using Vinylex for years, but I'm down to my last few ounces (bought a bunch before it went out of production).
I use 303 on our boat for UV protection, but I find it doesn't really "condition" the vinyl.
Recommendations and experiences are appreciated.
Cheers

I have become a fan of Jay Leno’s interior protectant fwiw - I like the UV protectant on my dash with a non greasy finish.

I went looking for an SDS, to see what was in Vinylex and it's interesting what's not out there. There is a document from Energizer holdings that doesn't disclose anything (which seems illegal to me based on what my company is forced to disclose), but there's also this product from Kimball Midwest: https://www.kimballmidwest.com/80763
Maybe it's the same stuff, just sold under a new manufacturer.

I've never seen that before. I may need to try that out.Maruscmn wrote: Sat Feb 22, 2025 5:42 am I have become a fan of Jay Leno’s interior protectant fwiw - I like the UV protectant on my dash with a non greasy finish.

VINYLEX appears to be a registered trademark (or at least was).
Looking a bit further, they offer this as well..

Ive tried countless brands and just ran across this at a Walmart and figured I would try it out. Ended up recommending to all of my friends for the lack of strong sent and the natural finish with the UV protection.Gaspowered wrote: Tue Feb 25, 2025 1:26 pmI've never seen that before.

For several years I’ve been a fan of Griot’s Garage products and I do like their interior protectant.
Non-greasy, supposed to be UV protective, leaves behind a finish that seems just right. Not too shiny, not too dull.

I am a long-time user and a fan of Griot's products, so naturally I agree completely on your analysis of their interior products, both the Interior Cleaner and the Interior Detailer.Spokayman wrote: Mon Mar 03, 2025 7:17 pm For several years I’ve been a fan of Griot’s Garage products and I do like their interior protectant.
