I use leather conditioner on the entire interior of my car. Looks MUCH better than the way vinyl protectants make things look,plus it makes your car smell leathery. I started doing it so I could have a *one size fits all* interior regiment. I use the same stuff on my leather seats as I do the dash,door panels,etc. Works great! As a matter of fact,alot of pro detailers do the same thing since most vinyl protectants make everything look too shiny and greasy,and/or smell strange. I can`t stand having the inside of a car smell like hard candy.
Amor All Leather Protectant has been my favorite for years.

303® Aerospace Protectant
Amazing, not sticky, shiny or greasy. 15 year old Tacoma dash looks brand new. I've been using it a long time.
Amazon has pretty good pricing

303 by a long shot!!
Surf City Dash Away which is currently available at Walmart for around $9. Excellent cleaning ability yet gentle at the same time. Has UV protectants and the professionals use it.

I use it. Too soon for me to say it does anything. Beware though, that this thing has a very narrow temperature range for storage. Basically it has to be stored inside the house most places. They also make a big deal about how it should only be applied in a well ventililated place. Plenty of people would apply it in the garage, if left to their own devices, So I figure it must be pretty toxic.

Is it shiny wet looking (I don't like) or satin/dull (better).
I been using Vinylex but understand 303 is less shiny. I just don't find 303 OTC.
I like some of the other Surf City products, never noticed (wasn't looking) the Dash Away product.

The Surf City Dash Away isn't shiny at all. Great cleaner for steering wheel, shifter, door panels and of course the dash. Here it is in action:

Like 303, but it is a little pricey and not something that I use on a regular basis. Every couple of weeks I have been using lately Mequiar's Quik Interior Detailer, it is not greasy, has a nice matt finish, and it easy to find and inexpensive.
I also use a California Mini Duster just to keep up with the dust and lint as my car has a black interior which looks great when clean but show every speck of dust.

Thanks... I think I'll pick up a bottle and give it a try. Sure was a lot of pics in the link, & sure was some nasty cruddy looking parts of the interior... one should never let it get that bad.

I've been pretty happy with the versatility of Mothers VLR for cleaning and protection.

I have a year or so old bottle of 303 and I was going to use it on my engine bay a few weeks ago. This stuff definitely spoils. I sprayed it and it looks to have gelled up or something. Smelled rotted and/or *spoiled* as well. I never was impressed with it when I'd first bought it,so I'd put it away and forgotten I'd had it. Formula F2-1 and plain old Armor All gave me better results.
What ever happened to 'Nu Vinyl' Protectant?
Remember the TV commercials?
