Default Non glossy Interior Rubber/Vinyl protectant

Does anybody have any recommendations for a good interior rubber/vinyl protectant for the dash and door trims? It should not produce a glossy shine. In fact, it should produce a matte/satin finish.

Don't forget to try Meg's Quik Interior Detailer. One product cleans and protects(UVA & UVB) everything on the inside of the vehicle, leather, plastic, vinyl, NAV screen, rubber, everything but the fabrics. No gloss, no streaking and no smell, just a new look.

long time back, probably 6 years ago, I tried something from 3M. It was a new product range that started with a N.... I forget what it was. It was a nice matte vinyl protection.
Anybody remembers that?

Well I found this to be recommended for a non-gloss factory finish. Do you have any experience with it?
1Z einszett Cockpit Premium Interior Cleaner 16.9 fl oz (500 ml)
16,9 fl oz

Interior treatment developed specifically for the cockpit providing an original factory look. For use on dash, vinyl seats, door handles, trim, navigation screens, stereo/head units, and clear plastic. Cleans components and prevents fading from the sun and heat that occur over time. The gentle formula is water-based and free of oils providing a flat, original showroom finish. Non-slip finish allows for application on the steering wheel, shift **** and imitation leather seats. Great for use around the the garage and house.

We look at the dashboard and console more than any other area of our car's interior; therefore, it makes sense that we should give it some special attention. The dash and the deck under the rear window also take the brunt of damage from sun exposure. In order to keep your dash from cracking and fading, regular treatment is necessary.

Caring for the dash and console is easy. Simply spray and wipe with Cockpit Premium every time you wash your car.

Einszett Cockpit Premium will leave the interior clean and protected with a matte finish like no other product out there. This will truly leave you a matte finish!

Note this is safe on Navigation screens.

If you want literally no greasy or oily feel I highly recommend the Einszett 1Z Cockpit Premium. It definitely leaves a nice matte look and valuable protection.

Optimum and 303 are both great and leave a slight but non-greasy finish. Optimum is supposed to help repel dust. It did a little. 303 is awesome both inside and out. I use it on the seats and the tires and trim. Plus 303 has UV protection. Sonax Dashboard Cleaner leaves no finish. I've only tried it once so I'm not sure how it would hold up. No experience with Meguiars interior products but they sound really good. Less expensive too.

Thank you for the order! Both sealants are very durable and work great. I don't think I could honestly say one always lasts longer than the other. Both sealants should provide about 4 - 6 months of protection.
