If it's vinyl, then look no further. This stuff kills UV fading and keeps the top subtle.

I've been using 303 Protectant. It was recommended by Icemark. Found it at a Marine supply store. There were a ton of vinyl treatments and the owner claimed it was the best. So, a double recommendation. It is not inexpensive. However, it is great on the vinyl. Deep, long lasting, and does not seem to attract dust/dirt at all. Shine usually lasts 2 or so washings with an auto detergent. Great stuff.
