I second Lexol. My Passat had "leather seating surfaces", so I used the vinyl cleaner on the other parts like the backs and sides.
303 Aerospace Protectant for the dash and other trim parts. Cleans nicely and has zero oil or residue. Uses on the bottle include vinyl so you could use it on the seats, but I've just always stuck w/ Lexol for that since I had it around.

Yes, Vinlyex work great, especially for me s2000 convertibel tops because it was vinyl as well. Speaking of Vinylex it also works great on plastic, can we apply vinylex on our headlight for protection, because It does have uv protection.

Remember, Lexol has multiple products including Vinylex and Lexol. Lexol's Lexol is for leather as implied on it's bottle and Lexol's Vinylex is for vinyl and rubber surfaces.

For interior, I recommend either 303 Aerospace Protectant or Vinylex. The difference is just the shine. Both have UV protectant. Vinylex is more shinier and 303 looks like it is more matte but still has a shine.

Since I bought both to try out, I prefer 303 for interior as I like it's finish more and use Vinylex on the exterior rubber trims such as tires and rubber trimming.

You can't go wrong with either one though.

Zaino Z-9 and Z-10 for now, but was considering swapping to OPT Protectant Plus or 303 cleaner and protectant.

I use Meguiar's on my leather. I like that it doesn't try to shine it, makes it soft, and keeps it smelling new.

Thumbs up

Zymol Vinyl is excellent. Less expensive is their Vinyl Cleaner and Vinyl Conditioner, but is a two-passes job.

Cheers, JV.

Do any of you guys use any type of prectectant for the headlight, my car is parked outside of the sun most of the time at work so I am wondering if there anything I can use to block the UV.
