Default Using Protectorant

Does anyone use Protectorant on the inside also. Seems it is a good idea to use it on all the material, inside and out to keep it rejuvenated. Any comments?

I use 303 for the SPF protection. Most of the inside is good on my 05 but the plastic door panels are fading slightly.

The best protectorant I've found is Auto Glym rubber and plastic coat.
No residue or oily leave behind.Use in on all vinyl or plactic surfaces.Even under the hood!
If you are talking about the inside door panels,this is not what you need.
Best is the use of Woolite diluted applied with a sponge.Blot dry with a lint free towel.

Roadmax, it sounds like you want to use the convertible top protectant (sheds water, dirt, etc. and provides excellent UV protection) on the inside of the top as well. The stock Z top is a two-ply affair. A vinyl layer bonded to a twill fabric. The chemicals meant for the outer vinyl are not compatible with the inner fabric and are not really needed. The three ply all fabric tops sometimes need a stain and mildew treatment on the inside if it is a light color. You can use a light spritz of this, but it’s best to just leave it commando style letting it breathe.
