The Mothers protectant wasn't easy for me to find. I got mine at Ace Hardware, you can order it online, and I've seen it from time to time at different auto parts stores. If you can find some and like it buy a couple of bottles. I just like the nice matte finish it leaves, and it has a nice faint cherry smell to it not that nasty smell armor all leaves. I haven't really had any problems with either Mother's or Meguiar's products. I don't think you can go wrong with those. Off the shelf stuff they are the best IMO.
