VINYLEX TESTIMONIALS






I've used Vinylex for quite some time now and it's something that I recommend all my friends use regularly to keep their car in first class condition. In the hot sun and humidity here, it is critical that your dashboard and interior be conditioned and protected against the effects of solar heat and radiation. It only takes 3-4 minutes to do, and it will pay huge dividends in the lifespan and appearance of your car.

Here are a couple of testimonials from others that have bought Vinylex recently:

Great cleaner and protector (2008-08-12)
I used this product on my BMW leatherette interior and rubber surfaces on the exterior. Also works with plastic under the hood too! You get superior results for just a little money. I also used it detailing my wife's woefully neglected SAAB right before a trade-in estimate and made the car look worth much more than a previous estimate. This stuff is a must own if you want your car looking great. And one more good thing is that I keep it in my car's trunk all summer and the heat doesn't appear to spoil the Vinylex's effectiveness.

Great Stuff (2007-11-18)
I keep cars for a long time. My current vehicle is 10 years old, and I've always used Vinylex on it. The vinyl dashboard really looks as good as new.

I used a popular silicon based product on the car I had before this one, and the vinyl on the dashboard cracked after five or six years. Like the other reviewer said - Vinylex does not contain silicon.

Works great on the dash and bumpers (2007-10-31)
I bought Lexol Vinylex because I saw it mentioned on a Subaru owners chat room. I found that it did put my dash back to the way it looked and felt when I drove it away from the showroom. I did the black bumpers on my Subaru Forester and my neighbor, who has a classic car, came over and asked me what I used. It is supposed to keep the plastic/vinyl from cracking. I am very impressed with Vinylex and I will keep using it. I give this product five stars.

Great Product - hard to find (2007-02-19)I've used this product for years. I stay with it because it offers non-silicone protection (I understand silicone can promote dash cracking with age), non-greasy touch (nice for not slipping off the steering wheel), and a non-glossy look to the dash. Non-glossy means it won't collect dust the way most shiny products will. It has UV protection. Just try it.

Well, I could not have said it better! Try Vinylex, and for leather, try Lexol products. Again... they are value for money!

INTERIOR LEATHER MAINTENANCE WITH LEXOL and VINYLEX


Our cars are HUGE investments these days, and many of us are planning to keep them for a few years. Proper care of the leather and vinyl interior is critical to prevent your seats and dashboard from cracking, fading and deteriorating.

I have used Lexol and Vinylex for many years, and have found them to be outstanding products. They are highly concentrated, so using just a little bit goes a long way! DON'T OVER DO IT!!! A few light coats are better than one heavy coat!

What I always liked about them is that they NEVER made my seats feel or look slippery, greasy or sticky. They just left the laethaer and vinyl feeling clean and natural and beautifully conditioned.

Go to: www.lexolasia.com for more detailed information about Lexol and Vinylex.



I found this website that evidently is for professional Auto Rental companies and offers a lot of advice on how to keep the rental cars in good shape. I guess they use Lexol... here is an excerpt from a recent post:

"Avtorentacar.com presents you “Secrets in Auto Detailing Products for Mobile Car Washing”, an article written by Lance Winslow. We hope you’ll find a lot useful information in here.

All the professional auto detailers and mobile car wash operators realize that every dollar they save on auto detailing products is a dollar earned. Most professional auto detailing products are not over costly, but the costs do add up. Efficiency in the use of these products will definitely help your bottom line.

Wash & wax soap is the most commonly abused product by your auto detailing crews as they end up wasting it. The secret is to use only one cap full per five gallon bucket, it depends on how dirty the cars are however if you are soaping the whole car figure two or three cars per cap full, so it can last a month in a mobile detail operation.

Degreaser and cleaner; well you will want to use it fairly strong for whitewall figure a pint will last about 10 cars. You can cut it for rims and other uses but not more than 3/4. Heavy-duty degreaser; This works better for rims etc, I would use this instead and the other for more mild issues. Otherwise you will use too much and not get the desired results

Glass cleaner; You can buy distilled water and mix it with RTU or ready to use glass cleaner 50% / 50%. If you use window cleaner concentrate then mix it 75% distilled and 25% product.

Leather cleaner & conditioner; I recommend using Lexol and I would say you will spend about $15.00 per month cost on products. It will last a long time with a gallon, so unless you waste it and use too much further you should have a gallon for a couple of months anyway.

Clay bars; they last a long time, but you have to keep them moist and not allow them to dry out. If you are doing a lot of fall-out type removal then you need two Clay Bars, use AutoMagic products if they are available. Always keep them in a small container with moisture inside.

New car scent; A gallon of new car scent will last a few months, never spray on dashboard plastic always two squirts under each seat to conserve product, as any more is a waste."

I would not recommend saddle soap... it's alkaline and will damage your leather. Lexol is pH balanced to the exact pH of leather and will never damage your leather.

Lexol will leave your leather feeling soft and supple, but never leave it feeling greasy or sticky like some other products out there. Believe me, I have tried a lot of them, and I prefer Lexol! (You can also use it on all other leather products from shoes to briefcases to furniture... it works very well! Just don't use it on suede.)
