Definitely not glossy. Just excellent protection.
Check out the manufacturer's website for information and where to buy: http://www.303products.com/main.php?infopage=protectant
I use it on my tires, rubber seals around doors, interior plastic/vinyl. On tires -- doesn't leave a glossy wet look (that some prefer), but just makes it look like brand new rubber.
Widely available in US. In Canada, it's available at Zellers (not a Wal-Mart Canada, not at Canadian Tire).

Some marine stores carry 303 but I think it's just a protectant, not a cleaner. They do make a seperate cleaner but I've never seen it in stores and haven't tried it. Pep Boys carries Vinylex, which is both a cleaner and protectant. I've used both 303 & Vinylex without any problems.

I just saw a Maguiars (sp?) product that was a foam leather cleaner/conditioner, I used to use one like that that BlueCoral put out, it was called "DriClean" worked really well, plus it didn't leave the leather looking glossy afterwards, don't know why they stopped making it, I will have to try this one I saw to see if it works the same! Anyone tried this product?

How did the Lexol turn out? I know it's a great product for what it does, but did it retain the stock 'matted' look on the dashes? I'm turned off by even the slightest 'gloss'.

Re: good interior cleaner and protectant I could buy?
ok just tried lexol....
since this is the first time ever to apply and conditioner on the interior it did turn into a blacker...lil gloss finish...
I dunno if this can be avoided cause almost every cleaner will give the interior a lil gloss, but its a very slight gloss to wear it doesnt shine alot when the sun hits it..its more like a blacker black color on my graphite interior.
what i liked about it is that it didnt leave a slippery or oily feel to the interior...feels just the way it did before...
another difference..i dunno if its just me, but I applied some on the titanium finsh of the car and it made it feel ike it has just been waxed....kinda like the feel after you wax your car.
so in way you can feel the extra protection it gives.
maybe theres a cleaner out there that will keep that stock look, which I did like but I have searched everywhere and I havent found anything......
if you want to keep your stock "new" look, this isnt for you...but the way I thought about it is.......
I cant just keep cleaning the interior with cloth and water, as much as i liked the new unconditioned look.....I have to put some kind of protection on it.specialy here in Fla.

No shiny [bold]leather[/bold] for me either, it eventually gets that way on it's own, no need to help it! I guess I will try that Maguiar's product!

ABQ_G35,
The Lexol 'Leather' cleaner and conditioner does not make the seats shiny at all. They are great stuff. It's the 'Vinyl' stuff that we're not sure about ... at least for me.

Re: good interior cleaner and protectant I could buy?
yea i'm talking about the vinylex.which is just for the interior not leather.....
when you guys find a interior conditioner and cleaner that keeps the new look on the interior let meknow...
ofcourse this has to come someone that has a new G that havent used any interior conditioner
seriously though I dont think theres any conditioner that would keep that NEW look on interiors....
303 aerospace is the only other one that I know of but coundt find.....
somehere has tried both...any difference in the "glossy" look between the 303 and vinylex???
if not its gonna be hard to find one that will keep that "new" look , cause looked and did my reseach on this....
sooner or later your going to have to put some kind of conditioner on the interior to protect it
