The plastic on my Z started to turn gray or a dark white. I started using this product and it turned all my plastic, rubber seals, tires, and leather seats like brand new. The cowl took about two coats or rub downs. This is great stuff. It's called "303 Areospace Protectant" here is there webb site for free samples. www.303products.com/main.php?infopage=freesample

Topless93 that looks interesting. Is it holding up over time??
I'll probably end up replacing the cowl grills, we redid all the black on the car, but the grills have one spot trying to lift like a bubble trying to work up it's right by the d-side wiper.

Hey Stehen, were going to have to stop meeting like this, this is Mike with the concrete mixers from Houston, and yes the 303 protectant is holding up better than anything that I have used before. I wipe all of the plastic ,leather, tires, and rubber seals every time I wash the car. Another great thing is it dosen't leave an oily residue like the other products on the market. I also use it on my ABS plastic kayaks. My Z also stays in the garage, so it's not exposed to UV that much. I put it on just about thing except the paint and vert top.

Yeah, well you know. Anyway why don't you try to come up to the KC regional in september, there should be some other Texas folks there. Think mad Mike Taylor is coming, since I owe him $20 and two beers for the Mr.K hats he got for me at Z-con. Mine is staying in our old truck shop right now till I get at least a Getto garage to cover it. All my old buildings out on the farm are just too open to keep it in and my big shop is piled full of junk anymore plus they dozed out my road for the new subdivision they're building next to me. Have the truck shop leased to the guy buying a bunch of our land in town but he don't mind me putting the Z in it. You can park 4 tractor trailers in it.
I hate the oily residue, don't like bright shine on any of the stuff especialy the dash. Plus most of the stuff on the market is nothing more than a dust magnet.
I'll get the sample packs ordered, may want to resell some thru my wash.
Ordered a dash mat for it yesterday, thru O'Reilly. About $47 and 5-10 days to get.
Wow, my signature finally worked!!!!!!

That might not be a bad idea, I've got some customers in KC. I'll have to check into it.
