    Has anyone had experience with either of these products. I am

    trying to determine which is better for cleaning and protecting the

    leatherette and plastic dashboard in my VW Jetta.



    Thanks,

    The only 2 protectants that I have ever used - both are excellent products - 303 will give a less shiny look so I like 303 more

    Completely agree with tdekany...I have both and they are both excellent but I give the nod to 303. The matte look is better.

    Personally, I use 303 on the inside of the car (because I hate the sun bouncing off of the dash, etc). On the outside, I tend to use Vinylex or NXT. All great products.

    I wasn`t aware that 303 cleaned; I thought it just protected.



    I liked Vinylex on my Lexus, but prefer 303 on my rhinoskin dash in my Audi.



    Vinylex does clean. Aerospace 303 has UV protection. I also like how you can use it on leather, whereas you can`t with Vinylex.



    Vinylex has a medium sheen, Aerospace 303 has very low sheen. I have bottles of both `cause I like having options.

    I didn`t like Vinylex. Streaked on plastic and looked greasy. I use 303 and Megs #40 and like them much better than Vinylex.

    I just switched to 303 from Vinylex because the 303 was closer to a matte finish than the Vinylex. I also noticed that 303 left a more even finish and the appearance overall was better than Vinylex. I`m using the remaining supply of Vinylex for the tires.

    In addition to using on my interior vinyl, I`ve used VINYLEX to remove polish spatter from exterior rubber and hard plastic. I have found it will last 6 month or so in Houston heat and humidity - normally 90+ degrees and 80+ humidity from beginning of May through end of September, with my vehicle living outside 7 x 24 x 365
