I've become a big fan of 303. I use it on the plastic panels on the MB, all rubber, it even does a good job on metal. I also found it doesn;t smear of harm glass when I get overspray on it I can buff it until it polishes out. Also, it does not contain any silicones which is a big problem when a car is repainted or used around cars being repainted .
