Hey guys,

I came across the 303 Automotive Protectant:
Amazon Amazon

And I was wondering what is the differences between the 303 Aerospace? Which is better for the car's interior? (Seats, dash, plastic, etc).

I want to give 303 a try, as I am hearing good stuff about it. Currently, I am using Meg's Interior Quik Detailer for interior cleaning.

303 aerospace is not a cleaner it's something you apply after the surface is cleaned.

Yeah I figured. But I hear 303 is good for UV protection as well as bringing the colors back. My dash is rather looking dull, hoping 303 can make it look new again. I detail with Meg' UQD all the time, it claims to have UV protection, but idk. =\

I use the 303 wipes for the dash. One will do both cars. The spray for everything else. I use the 303 seal protectant for the door seals. It is like roll on deodorant.

On the advice of this forum I tried the 303 protectant after 30+ years of using ArmorAll... I am very impressed with the 303. I like that it hides all the little scratches without leaving that greasy residue that attracts new dust. ArmorAll would evaporate off my dash in a few days and then leave an oily residue on my windshield which was a pain to clean off.

I'm a fan of 303. Been using wipes lately, but difficult to get coverage even -- less streaky. What applicators do you recommend for even coverage? I'm considering switching from the wipes to a spray bottle.

Just spray directly onto a microfiber towel, spread the product onto the surface you wish to cover, then flip to the other side of the towel and wipe away any wet spots.

Picked up some of this stuff last week when I was in USA.. looking forward to using it.. I bought the wipes and the spray haha

I noticed my sunroof seal is rather dried out.. its not horrible so I'm wondering if I need something else that will inject a bit of life into it??

Or will the 303 that I already bought do just fine?

I'm a fan of 303 protectant, but for rubber convertible, sun roof moldings. Wiping on dielectric grease is way better. Plus in winter for door seals, and they won't stick at all. Out of all the convertibles I've owned I've never had seal problems using dielectric grease. That includes my 03 sc430,70 mgb, BMW 128, camaro, slk 350. This in Michigan, Houston, and west Kansas environments.

I bought a bottle from Amazon after reading the comments on this thread. I bought it for the dash protection etc..
Question: Can I also use this particular product on my leather seats? I understand there are various lines so I've included a pic of the bottle I own.

Yes, you can use it on your leather if you'd like. 303 will leave your leather looking darker and with a bit of shine, which is not something I prefer on my leather, but some people like it.

+1, it'll give it a slick feel as well, which I'm not the biggest fan of.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I'm not looking to darken my seats nor make them look or feel slick, so I won't apply the 303 to the leather.
