Default Review: 303 Aerospace Protectant

I purchased the 32oz. bottle from autogeek a while ago and used it the first time a few days ago.

The weather stripping around the removable top was practically white from wax. The rubber seals around the windows were also starting to look ugly from sun exposure and wax.

I sprayed 303 on a microfiber towel and started applying it to the weather stripping and all of wax that has been on there for months was gone. The seals around the windows also look new again. It's been 4 days now and it has gone through 4 days of sun and 1 pressure washing with no sign of wearing off. Compared to the STP silicone spray i was using before, this stuff is amazing. Another great thing is that it wipes right off of painted surfaces if you accidently get some on there while applying(which you will). One downside is the smell, it doesn't smell too great but it's also not a strong smell.

I also applyed it on my interior door panels which looked blotchy with light and dark patches. It left a nice smooth finish with no gloss. I'm not a fan of cleaning my dashboard with anything but soap and water but am now considering giving it a wipe down with the 303.

best part is it adds UV protection that MOST silicone and dressing sprays do not. In certain instances, they amplify the bleaching process from the sun. I personally use a small foamy applicator or microfiber applicator as you can bend them to get into tight spots. (Like the damn rubber molding between the rear hatch glass and painted targa area).

303 Aerospace Protectant is probably my favorite detailing product!! I use it on all of our cars...and just used it on the dash on my mother's 1999 Camry yesterday! Leaves a nice satin finish and provides much needed protection.

Love the stuff too. I am never without a bottle in my detailing supplies. One of my favorite uses is as a UV protector for my leather seats. I clean, condition, and then protect them with 303. Plus it gives them a nice fresh finish.

I use their cleaner every spring for my season starting detail, followed by the protectant ....
I've used it for the last two seasons. It is the best protectant I have found to date. I like its dull satin sheen.

yep
and definitely put it on your dash - that's the best use of this product. you won't be sorry. Don't leave the dash unprotected - it will dry and crack.

I've been using 303 for several years on my rubber and plastic parts. It keeps them looking like new. I wouldn't use anything else.

Same here. Been using 303 Protectant for 5 years now and wouldn't use anything else. I apply it with a sueded microfiber towel for a nice, even finish.
