Nope. Lexol was splotchy, Vinylex was too shiny and outgassed a lot, Aerospace 303 was just right.

Default I have tried it

Its a bit to shiney to put on the dash, but I often put it on viynl areas that don't get alot of sun. People like the smell, and the shine looks just right in the shade.

So the 303 was OK with regards to lack of shine on the Dash?

Default There is some shine. I can see the dash at night some, especially if the windows were just cleaned.

I jsut grabbing lunch right now. If I have a chance later I'll try to get a better picture.

Default Thanks!! I've been using AutoSport Vinyl Protection which does a great job with no shine,-->

but it smells like coconut for at least 3 months after application. It masks the smell of the leather. I'll give the 303 a try.

Default There is some shine, but it's not too heavy. I'd say a 5 or 6 out of 10. Also, the stuff LASTS

FOREVER. Seriously, you could put it on 4 times a year and be okay. I'm used to having to use interior vinyl stuff once every 4 to 8 weeks. I find this really high quality stuff. I also use it on the black part of the door sills. Here's a link to where you can purchase it...<ul><li><a href="http://www.carcareonline.com/harly_polyguard_11202.html">Harly Poly Guard</a></li></ul>
