303 is pretty good. I have never used it on my dash as I think its got a little too much gloss, but i love it on my hot tub cover, it protects it from the UV and keeps it from drying out.

Also, it doesn't leave a glossy finish...more like a sheen. Great stuff!

Heck I think it leaves a matte finish. I think after it "soaks" in for several minutes, you should wipe it with a dry MF and it will be matte. (at least it does for me)

As offered it leaves a bit of a sheen matte surface. If you want just clean and new looking, then use Poorboys Natural Look. We offer both, and they sell like hot-cakes on Sunday morning. No wrong choice ....

I just did my interior, seats, door panels and dash with 303 and it came out perfect, looks new, not really shiny at all or artificial looking. Just a clean new look.

Scott,
Are you still looking for product demonstration ideas? If so, it would be nice to see a dash done with 303, PBNL, SCG Dash Away Interior Spray & DP Interior Protectant. Thanks!

I've used 303 for years on the canvas tops on my four Miatas, with excellent results. I've always used various other products for the interiors on each car; however I believe it's time to try the 303 on the interior. Especially on the Vette, since it should be less reflective and shiny and that glare on the windshield really annoys me now that I have the HUD shining up there too.

Any suggestions on where to locate some of this 303? The guys at my AutoZone store aren't familiar with anything that doesn't screw on, bolt on, or plug in.

If you have a West Marine nearby, they carry it. Can't beat the Geek for service though!

Thanks for Geek-ing me.
Just went there but didn't know which product to buy.
Left an e-mail message asking for guidance.
Since you guys all speak so highly of him, I'll probably buy what he recommends.

I love this place.
No question goes unanswered.

In my experience, ACE Hardware carries it, as do most boating/marine supply stores such as West Marine. That way you can get it immediately and forgo the shipping time!

Picked some up at Wal Mart and I beleive I have seen at K Mart. Says it has UV protectant which is excellent. Work good. Personally I like Pledge furnature polish.
