Sun protection

[rcj5]

What can you recommend to protect the rubber, vinyl and leather in my Boxster from the sun? Also, does anyone in hot climates apply anything to the fabric top as a protectant? I've heard that I should avoid using products with silicone. Any advice?

Here's my list:

-Matte plastic: 303 Aerospace Protectant

-Shiny plastic surfaces (includes instrument guages, headlights, rear plastic window--oh wait, you dont have one! , and tailights: Plexus

-Leather: Lexol, but I understand Leatherique is superior

-Rubber: 303, BMW's Gummifledge, or Zymol Seal

-Top: Raggtop

Best weapon against the sun? A good car cover.

Lexol for plastic and another Lexol product for leather. For a time 303 was big for the cloth top, but then Raggtop came out. All of these products have UV protection. Jeff
