Best UV barrier?

I'm looking to do what I can to fight back against the texas sun. I want to find the best product out there, that I can spray on or wipe on to all the plastic and rubber surfaces. But there must be thousands of them to choose from. Which one is the best? Which one actually offers the most UV protection?

303 Aerospace Protectant will likely be hands down favorite...

I wipe before every trip and alternate between 303 and starbright vinyl guard. I would think by doing that and the limited hours on the water overall would be sufficient. It's the off time I think would be the biggest issue, I'm always covered when not in use. And I know what you mean about the sun, I'm in Fredericksburg.

Have your local upholstery shop make a set of seat / helm covers. I know they can be expensive, but you will love them.. Only uncover the seats you need at any given time..

Thanks for the replies. I do have a boat cover, but it doesn't cover the "steps" on the front and rear of a pontoon. That is still exposed. Plus a cover does let some light through, and over the years... well you know what happens.
