Another question, sorry guys just want to come out with the best possible regimen...

Most of our car's interior is made up of gray vinyl, what vinyl/plastic cleaner can you suggest that is safe for this color/material and doesn't cause discoloration? And also, what protectant should I use after applying the cleaner? I prefer to have a natural/matte look for the interior.

Thank you very much!

antay kulang maubos, then un mothers protectant na bibilhin ko. sabi sa AD nya-

Preserves and protects for 30 days! ...is a penetrating UV blocker, effective on rubber, vinyl, plastic and fiberglass. Constructed to recondition and maintain the original condition and appearance of dashboards, bumpers, trim, tires and more. Protectant isn’t an oily surface-coating film. It’s an ozone and smog resisting, UV shielding penetrant — a preservation agent that works on just about any uncoated plastic or rubber.

Sir, i've read an article that says that when choosing protectant, you should look for the non-silicone ones because silicone causes vinyls to crack. Please read below link:

Guys back to one of Arrjay0712's questions, how do you get dried cement out safely? Mine was parked in an open parking lot at the Fort. When I came back drops of cement were already dried on the car. Managed to remove most of them but a lot of spots in between the rubber and metal parts are still there.

*ArrJay0712: well that statement is mainly true, in most cases the silicones used in the protectants can cause vinyl and leatherette to crack when treated for a very long time, but nowadays the formulations have already been changed, most people say that Armor All can crack and yellow your vinyl and interior surfaces, but honestly like jon said before, even i still can't find any solid article to suppor this, but in a way yes i would agree with you regarding the silicone based protectants because its always better to be safe than sorry, Also using silicone protectants leave a layer on top which when removed can also remove the shiny surface of your interior especially when cleaned improperly, you could try, Quik interior detailer, NXT Tech Detailer, and Mothers Protectant.

*manny31671: sad news is that there have been reviews about F21 causing cracking in the Toyota Forum in the US, especially when used on the clear plastics and on dash panels

*Wh1stl3r: you could try Megs Body Solvent, Quik Solv, and Citrus Solv. I've tried all of them with good cleaning abilities, haven't tried them for cement though, but it did remove rugby contact cement.
