Vinylex did wonders for my louvers and other rubber, plastic, vinyl

[shirazcupala@xxxx]

My car was a Phoenix car before I got it. Much cracking and fading 
everywhere. My advice is stay away from cars that have lived in high 
heat. I have learned the hard way both on cosmetic and mechanical 
issues.

So, my louvers WERE so faded out I thought I'd never recover them. I 
tried "Black Magic" but it wore off so quickly it just wasn't worth 
it. I finally got my bottle of Vinylex (the same folks that make 
Lexol). Well, this stuff is fantastic. Two months ago I used it on 
my louvers. Against the reco of the instructions I was generous in 
application because the louvers were so badly faded and dried out. I 
have not touched them since and they still retain the blackness. 
Further, I used the stuff on the black vertical "vents" just behind 
the doors. Those used to go back to grey within just days. Those 
too still are black. So then I used the stuff on my interior. I 
haven't touched up since that application two months ago. Same on my 
exterior trim lines. The one area where it didn't last as well was 
the tires. They are still better than when I've used Armor All or 
other things. For tires, just because of the extreme wear/heat, 
anything will require repeated application. I can live with that.

I rarely make product recommendations because I rarely find somthing 
that I like enough to put my name behind recommending it. Well this 
stuff is incredible. As you all know, Armor All just makes things 
worse. This Vinylex WORKS! Since I am not willing to promote any 
individual retailer, you can just do a search on the name and you'll 
be able to find online sellers for it. I've never seen it in a store 
here in Seattle.

As a related aside. Lexol (the stuff for Leather by the same 
company) has so far been only marginally satisfactory. Better than 
Armor All for sure on the leather, but not the perfect solution they 
make it out to be. Many web references I've seen recommend it. 
However, I'm anxious to try out a product called Leatherique. I 
understand from many web posts that Rolls Royce / Bentley owners 
clubs along with a few other similar caliber clubs swear by this 
stuff. Has anyone used this stuff? What are your thoughts on it? 
Versus Lexol?
