Never use Armor All on anything! 303 is one of the best. The key is to gently clean the top prior to applying the 303. It's easy to make burnishing marks on the top if you rub too hard in one spot.
Follow the directions on the 303 to the letter, don't use too much, use even coverage and buff off excess right away. If you apply several coats in the first few weeks, it will build up a good layer of protection and really soak into the material. Sometimes I finish it off with Griot's Vinyl Dressing, which has a bit more sheen.

Seems like most RV places have the stuff. It is on Camping World web site. I just found some at their local store.

Sorry to disagree, but I will use nothing but Armor All on my Challenger dash pad and vinyl top, as I've done for 40 years. I've owned the car since it was 6 months old, and I still have the original uncracked dash pad. How many E-body owners can say that? My vinyl top was perfect also, but I had to replace it because some roof rust bubbled through it.
Going to go out tonight and give them another coat of Armor All...

A friend who owns a detail shop says no to Armor-All because of alcohol content...
It's not alcohol content, it's silicone based that's the problem.
