product for window trim, and dash on c6
starting to get some slight discoloration on the exterior window trim along the top of the doors and was wanting to know what the best product is to clean, and recondition the exterior black trim pieces. Also, what is the best product to use on the interior vinyl dash and door panels. Thanks

Here are a few to look into:
303 Aerospace Protectant
Lexol's Vinylex
Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care
Protecting the topcoat is the top priority in properly maintaining automotive vinyl. All the vinyl manufacturers agree on and recommend the following:
General Cleaning: Never use household cleaners, powdered or other abrasives, steel wool, or industrial cleaners, dry cleaning fluids, strong petroleum distillates, bleach or detergents. Use a medium-soft brush, warm soapy water, (such as Ivory soap), wipe or rinse with cool water and then dry. Stubborn stains should be cleaned with an alkaline (soap) based formula, not a solvent (acid) based formula.
Mildew Stains: To kill the bacteria creating the mildew, use a medium-soft brush and vigorously brush the stained area with a 4 to 1 mixture of water and ammonia; rinse with cool water.
Note: All cleaning methods should be followed by a thorough rinse with water using a sponge or wet cloth.
Obviously abrasives should never be used on vinyl. Strong petroleum distillates are a universal "no no" for both vinyl and rubber and waxes should never be used on vinyl.
Virtually all vinyl manufacturers agree that no type of silicone oil should be used on vinyl. Silicone oil vinyl treatments should not be used for several reasons:
1. Silicone oils typically attack the vinyl topcoat by trapping heat.
2. Silicone oils contain no effective UV screening ingredients.
3. Silicone oil formulas are greasy, build-up products which attract dust, and soil more quickly.
ALWAY'S READ THE LABEL! Product directions suggesting more than one coat for better cosmetic enhancements are build-up products and not recommended by vinyl manufacturers.
Recommended Vinyl Care Products:
303 Protectant. 303 is a beautififying liquid sunscreen which will keep vinyl looking like new. 303 contains no petrochemicals, silicone oils or petroleum distillates. 303 is not a build-up product. 303 is not oily or greasy and does not attract dust. In fact, 303 treated vinyl repels dust, dirt and stains, stays cleaner longer and is much easier to clean when finally soiled. 303 is the most powerful UV screening treatment available for vinyl, leather, and rubber. Regular use of 303 can reduce UV caused slow-fade up to 100%.
Lexol Vinylex. Vinylex is a one-step cleaner and protectant. Vinylex is a water-based product with special emulsifiers and wetting agents that deep cleans and brings grime to the surface where it can be easily wiped away. Vinylex contains DH60, a strong sunscreen to protect against the harmful effects of ozone and ultraviolet radiation. Vinylex is not a build-up product but does contain a patented bi-modal silicone for gloss.
AutoGlym Vinyl & Rubber Care. Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care conditions and protects interior and exterior surfaces with a tough, but flexible, anti-static barrier.Use Vinyl & Rubber Care on the dash, console, instrument panel, vinyl seats & door panels, vinyl roofs, tires, trim moldings, door seals and engine compartment components.
