Vinylex by Lexol



Has anyone ever tried this product?

What was your experience with it? Good, bad, ugly? The website says that it's good on vinyl, rubber, and plastic.

I'm going to snag a bottle of it my next trip by Pep Boys. Thought I'd give it a whirl because I like their leather conditioner so much.

stuff works great! i use it on all my interior plastics, my exterior plastics (doesn't run if you buff it off really well) and my engine compartment after i wash it, and sometimes my tires if i have nothing else. Its waterbased so it doesn't collect a bunch of crap and be a pita to get off. Holds up well. I didn't know you could order a gallon of it. I use it very often so i go through it relatively quickly. Did you happen to notice how much?

i'm the other way around from you though. I like their vinylex so much, i'm gonna give their lexol a try

I've used it and it is ok. Price is good too. I prefer 303 Aerospace though. Don't have to buff it down. Isn't as shiney as vinylex. More of an OEM shine. Dries 100%. Can't feel a residue at all.

yeah i've been meaning to try that stuff also, but have never seen any in stores to pick it up. Usually i wait until the last minute when i'm out of vinylex, and run to pepboys and pick up another bottle

i also used mothers vinyl stuff before and it was pretty good also.


o yeah, i also use the vinylex on my front end bra and mirror bra's

Thumbs up

As far as the interior, it's the BEST I've found. I use it all the time.

I snagged a bottle of it earlier and did my tires out in the parking lot of Pep Boys. I LOVE IT. Great stuff.

I'm going to do the interior tomorrow.

Just curious. How much is the 303 Aerospace?

303 is like... don't remember how much for the 16oz bottle. check properautocare.com for that

A gallon at west marine is like $70. It is mainly used by people with boats because it has great UV protection. See if you have a West Marine by you and if you don't, then call around to boat supply places. They probably have it or can get it.

Intel was hilarious when i took him in West Marine for the first time. I was walking past him, and I hear him gasp and grap a bottle of 303. I was like BIG DEAL, but he lives for this stuff

That reminds me. I need to go there this week to get some Meguiar's plastic cleaner and polish.

Wonder if they can order me a gallon of Meguiar's #34?

You can get both off of the Meguiars website. I just bought a gallon of #34 Final Inspection...

Plastic Cleaner

#34 Final Inspection

Hope this helps... #34 is god's gift to those of us that are total fanatics about our paint.
