Chevy Avalanche Fan Club 303 protectant and pics of similar products

After reading the Autoint report, I will not go back to using petroleum based dressings on my plastic such as the ones found in this thread:

I found out a few facts about PDMS. PDMS should be very safe to use on cladding, because it is commonly used in detergents, shampoos, conditioners, and cosmetics. Interestingly enough it's also used in silicone breast implants.

I bought a bottle of good ol Armor All Original and applied it about two weeks ago. AAO should be in this thread because it is a water based product which uses PDMS, just like 303. Upon reading the MSDS for AAO, I found it contains 15-25% PDMS. I'm not sure how this stacks up to the other product's percentages. According to roadfly.org's tests, AAO lasted longer than most products, including 303. So I'd have to say that it contains at least an adequate amount, if not more than most.

When I first applied the AAO, my cladding was in fairly good shape, but it was at the point at which I normally reapply a protectant (previous protectant used was NXT). After a good wash and dry, I put on one coat only by spraying it on a MF towel and then rubbing the plastic. After about 20 mins or so I came back and found the plastic had completely absorbed the AAO, so there was nothing left to buff off. So far since application it's rained a few times and been washed once. Here is my observations after 2 weeks:
1) It looks at least as good, if not better, than NXT or Eagle 1 Wet does after 2 weeks. When 1st applied AAO leaves a satin finish as opposed to Eagle 1 Wet's glossy finish. I used to like the gloss finish better, but now I think I prefer a satin finish. It gives it a clean, "like new" appearance, without standing out too much.
2) It does not bead water quite as well as petroleum based dressings, but still does a good job of repelling water.
3) Does not seem to attract dust nearly as much as petroleum based dressings.

Here are some advantages I've found to AAO:
1) It's cheaper that just about anything. 16oz costs about $4, compared to about $12 for 303.
2) More widely available than just about anything.
3) Same basic ingredients as more expensive products.
4) Lasts at least as long as anything I've used, so it's a good value.
5) Leaves a satin finish, which I now prefer for the cladding and have always prefered on interior plastic.
6) Does not cause plastic running boards to get slick which is a huge problem with petroleum based products.

After the last rain, I washed my Av and forgot to check and see if any of the AAO had ran down the sides of my paint. If any of it did, I didn't notice when I washed it (I washed it by hand) and if any did it apparently wasn't hard to wash off.
