I think 303 Protectant is very good I use it on my interior of our cars and on the boat. I still have armor all around the shop. Usually use that on tires or shining up the dirt bike.

I’ve used Vaseline petroleum jelly on my cuda and it has no cracks for 40 years. Hmmm. Never gave that any thought. Vinyl is a petroleum product, so it makes good sense (to me, anyway). Just not sure I'd want to sit on it.

Agreed with the Meguiar's #40. Just the right amount of sheen and good protection for the vinyl. I've been using it for years and buy it by the gallon.

Never used Vaseline on seats. I just rubbed it on the dash and then wiped it off after a few days. Seems to work fine. It’s not something you do very often.

Some years back I was in the boat rental business in Florida. Some of my boats that were less than one year old began to show cracks in the vinyl seats. The manufacturer sent a rep out to verify the warranty claim. He took one look and asked me if I was using Armor All on the seats. I told him yes. He told me to stop using it as it damages the vinyl. He suggested STP Son-of-a-Gun. There are a lot of alternatives since those days.

OH NO!By some of the comments on armor-all I been using it on my vinyl roof and upholstery for about 20 years,so far no problems.I guess I'm lucky. You got VERY lucky I used it on a black vinyl top on my old 1970 Cuda that sat in the sun most of the time in the Mojave desert, once I started using Armor All on it took less than a year after using it to start cracking, that was in 1975
