Okay to put wax on black vinyl wrap material between doors?

Whatever you do avoid armor all like the plague. It WILL crack your dash, trust me I know from experience on a previous vehicle. 303 is safe.

 

But if the weather/humidity is fine it's super easy to put on? I'm with you, easier the better.

 

I did some research and apparently armor-all reformulated to only have water based silicone ingredients so it will no longer crack your dash. However their reputation has already sunk and I still don't like how much dust it attracts. 303 is still the best.

 

I wash my truck with mud. Looks awesome AF when it's parked on a curb, slightly flexed, at the mall.

 

Wax away. Don't forget your back while your at it

 

If you really love your toyota use vinyl refresher it will keep it fresh. Really really fresh !

 

Yeah it's not bad then.

Very true. For interior look into Meguiars #40. Best smelling interior protestant imo as well.

 

Like Doug E. Fresh, fresh?

 

If you like slickness, PNS is NOT for you. Water beading is great, as is longevity, but it's not slick like some other sealants. It's really grabby when you are drying after a wash.

 

You might also like Megs #21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0. It's similar to ULW but it has some fillers. It's an older product, but still a great one. But it does stain trim- which is why I'd usually grab the ULW.

 

To piggy-back on this: if it does harden before you buff it off, reapply just a little more ULW and it'll come right off. Also, a little Quick Detailer will do the same thing without removing the wax that has already cured.

Would a mild dish soap work to strip the wax off of vinyl?

 

It would strip it for sure, but like robssol mentioned, it can dry stuff out. CG citrus wash is cheap though.

 

Don't. It will likely stain. Use a vinyl dressing.

 

Longevity and ease of use is what I'm looking for. If it's too grabby for me I can always hit it with some pete's 53 wax. But I plan to go wheeling often this summer so shine/slickness isn't on the top of my list, especially if I have to buff off pinstriping at the end of the season.

 

I'll have to take a look then. I like 303 for my exterior rubber/vinyl but not as much for interior.

 

Yeah definitely check out meg's #40. Also for exterior trim, look into solution finish. Been using it for a long time with great results. Seems to last considerably longer than 303, which I also like.

 

303 is overrated for exterior. Much better options out there that will hold up in rain.

 

Okay, then recommendations?

 

Gtechniq C4. It is more expensive but however I have gotten a year out of the bed rails and still doing good.

There are other dressings/products out there. Don't get me wrong 303 is fine for applications that aren't on the exterior. I got tired of 303 running every time it rained.

 

Did you buff it after applying? I noticed a little bit of running the first time I put it on but realized I didn't buff it.
