UV Protection for PVC , Hypalon and seat coverings

I Have a 6.5m Hypalon Rib with PVC seats and a PVS sib.

These will be outdoors and exposed to sun a lot this year.

I was thinking of using some 303 Products Marine Aerospace Protectant on all of these surfaces.

Can anyone advise if this is worth using and will it help to protect these surfaces from sun exposure.

Thanks

Rib shop do a conditioner which also has uv protecting in it. That's what i use. My rib is under cover when not in use, but my mate leaves his in the little harbour all season near where we live and he uses the rib shop stuff as well

Been using 303 for years, but it can be slippery when wet.

Yup, 303 gets my vote, never noticed it being particularly slippery other then the first couple of days after application.
