i am not correcting or criticizing anything already said i would just like to add caution to keep silicone off plastic just as you do leather. never use a silcone base product on leather. and that is what i've been informed as to vinyl too. what i have gathered is that the silicone remove the plasticisers [can't spell it] from vinyls. as with rubbers certain compounds only work with certain chemicals so any time you have fluorcarbons in the water or? you can only use buna. i understand vinyl is much the same. UV and heat are also big problems for vinyl. use something that might help keep UV's under control.

the best way is to keep it clean, keep it covered, use a window shade and go look at perf. products, mothers or mequire's vinyl treatments.

again this is just what i've picked up as i have been doing research on painting and detailing.
