It's my product of choice when it comes to vinyl, leather, tires, etc.

I have heard great things about 303, so I clicked on the link then saw it was $23! I'll keep using my Meguiars Natural Shine that I pick up at Walmart for under $5.
Keep in mind I'm not trying to "sell" anybody anything, but I will tell you this; IF you're concerned about truly preserving whatever it is you're protecting - I can personally vouch for 303.
Our spa has sat in the hot Sacramento, California sun for the last 7 years and I regularly treat it with 303 and it doesn't have a single crack, split, etc., in the vinyl.
I've heard other people on different newsgroups say, "Meh...it's O.K. but there are better products at protecting surfaces, blah, blah, blah..." I've challenged them to tell me what those products were and I heard...nothing but crickets.
Yeah, it's more expensive but are you trying to preserve what you're treating?...or just make it look shiny?

I think it depends on your particular situation, im not keeping any car for more than 6-8 years and my stuff is garage kept.. for those that park outside in the West, something better than Armor all may be needed. And say a hot tub cover that sits in the Sun ? sure, clearly.
