Do I need both? or one or the other? Altenatives that might be as good or better?

The detailer sounds good but does it provide any UV protection for dash, seats?

 

total eclipse is spf 40... i dont think the cockpit detailer has any-
the detailer is a cleaning type product and the other is a preservative type. you need both.
or vinylex or 303 are other products that do not require separate products to clean and preserve.

btw, just noticed that you mentioned seats- the above i would not use on leather...
for leather lexol (you need two separate products- cleaner and preservative), or townsends (same- you need two)

 

Thanks. Someone made the comment that leather products could be used on vinyl but not vice versa. Is there a single product that would work on both assuming everything is new at least at this point and doesn't really require cleaning? Or am I just looking to get out too easy.

 

imo, short cuts are not a good idea if you want to protect your "investment"...
i always get the best quality products that i can find to keep my car looking new always (this one is 5 years old and looks at least as good as the day i picked it up).

 

Well I had to ask. Put an order in for Lexol and Vinylex this AM.

BTW Wanabe. Haven't been here too long but I already appreciate all your work on this Forum.
