What is the best product to keep vinyl protected and looking good

[Express]

303 Aerospace Protectant is pretty good for the price plus it's non-greasy and readily available.

Another alternative is Chemical Guys' Silk Shine sprayable dressing. Was put on to this by Dave from Obsession detailing, when he did my XR8. Have used it ever since and love it on dashes.

From their website:

Why Buy This Product?
New satin shine look for tires, dashboards, and more
Makes car parts look factory-new, not greasy or shiny
Finishes dry to the touch
Does not attract dust and dirt
Use on any interior or exterior vinyl, rubber, and plastic parts
Safe for engine bay covers, hoses, and components
Modern matte look for cars, trucks, and SUVs
Durable weather-tek formula lasts for weeks, not days
Restores and prolongs original color of surfaces
UV blockers help keep colors from fading

Never used the 303 or Bowden's so can't compare how they work.

I've tried a few, 303 Aerospace is the best I've found.

I doubt that it would actually be made in Australia, but I like your patriotism. (and I do not mean that sarcastically).

All chemicals are made here.
The clothes are imported.

I am an old fart and I used the right stuff on my XB Fairmont for many years.

The dash still cracked.

If you want to preserve plastic, vinyl or other synthetic stuff, keep it outa sunlight.

That'll be 20 dolla.

Was that 'right stuff' you used Armour All by any chance?
Full of silicones and infamous for causing cracking from prolonged use.

The non-silicone water based stuff these days is full of UV protectors.
Technology has improved heaps since.

Well there you go. Happy to be proven wrong in this case.

I'm amazed it is made here as I didn't think this country had any manufactuirng capability left,
