I personally use Meguiars #40 on all hard plastic/rubber/vinyl on my car... I really like it, waterbased UV inhibitors...
Black Wow is good stuff, kind of messy/greasy but the stuff you put it on looks great and lasts and lasts...
303... meh... not a fan...
The others I haven't used... but I have used a bunch of Chemical Guys stuff and never been let down yet... I also have used Poor Boys stuff and liked it...

Ive heard good things about black wow also, but it seems that I hear just as many bad experiences. Thanks for the advice though!

My two favorites for long lasting restoration would be the Black WOW Black WOW - 4 oz (http://www.detailedimage.com/Black-WOW-M41/Black-WOW-P370/4-oz-S1/) and the Chemical Guys Fade 2 Black - 13 oz (http://www.detailedimage.com/Chemical-Guys-M31/Fade-2-Black-P226/13-oz-S1/). The Black WOW must be applied really thin for it to work properly. A drop the size of a rice grain is all you need for roughly a 1ftx1ft area. The Fade 2 Black is amazing but the aerosol top makes applications a little more work. It makes the wheel wells look flawless again so that is where I use it the most. Both work really good but if you want the easiest to use formula then the Poorboy's World Trim Restorer - 16 oz (http://www.detailedimage.com/Poorboys-World-M1/Trim-Restorer-P35/16-oz-S1/) is a great choice. If you have any other questions please let me know.
