Protecting Dash and Door Panels

[Erik]

I have a 2007 EX-L. What should I use to protect the Dash and Inside Door Panels?

I see several references to vinyl and 303. Am I correct in assuming that the dash and door panels are vinyl?

That is correct. You can use it on the dash and some parts of the door panels. Don't apply on leather and fabric trim.

303 protects against UV and doesn't leave a greasy look. You can purchase it online but I also found out that some ACE hardware stores carry them.

303 is a good protectant. The products that I prefer are Poorboy's Natural Look and 1Z Cockpit Premium.

Natural Look is a great all around protectant, and works really good on leather as well as vinyl. Has a nice scent, almost like cherries.

1z Cockpit premium is more of an interior quick detailer, and I use this on all of the hard plastic (Console, radio area) and steering wheel. It leaves a "like new" look and is not oily or shiny.

I found 303 at a marine dealer. I use it on my Miata's vinyl drop top, and I found it to be quite durable.
