anyone here uses Aerospace 303 UV protectant? I friend recommanded it to me, said it can be use on everything and anything ( paint.. leather.. plastics.. lens... tires... Rims... convertable tops...) Apparently it will UV protect my car so that the plastic and paint wont faint overtime due to UV. Restore the interior shine and what not. Since it is water based ( instead of Alochol based like armorall) it shouldnt cause any long term damage.

Wonder if anyone else uses this... maybe something worth looking into. I used it on the leather and dash, so far everything is shinny and smooth, i like.

 

Lots of people use it for interior and exterior vinyl and rubber. It is generally regarded as a quality product that provides exceptional UV protection and all-around conditioning for the vinyl/rubber parts.

I have never read anyone here or on autopia.org recommending its use on paint. Everyone uses a quality polymer (like Zaino or Meguiar NXT) or carnauba wax protectant system.

I guess there's no reason not to use 303 on tires, but most people use a dedicated tire shine or dressing product.

Aerospace 303 can be bought on their own website (they even offer samples!), from a number of third party websites, from spa/tub suppliers, from marine/boating suppliers, and from some auto supply houses.

Good Stuff!!

 

"said it can be use on everything and anything ( paint.. leather.. plastics.. lens... tires... Rims... convertable tops...) Apparently it will UV protect my car so that the plastic and paint"
False... you should smack your friend . it can be used on fiberglass, leather, plastics (interior or exterior moldings), and tires... Do not use it on Paint... it DOES NOT condition it only protects but its good stuff (i wouldnt waste it on tires and i would use lexol on leather sicne it protects AND conditions).

 

haha I'll smack him and tell him that tomrrow. or Just telll him cuz he already sprayed that stuff ALL over his S2000 today. Does it cause any paint damage? or just a waste of time ( and money)

 

303 protectant can go on your paint, but I don't do it because it feels is kind of a waste. I bought it for interior and some exterior purpose such as trim, headlight...etc. but not paint.

I have heard that it makes contaminant (dusts, bird crap...etc.) less likely to stick to paint surface, makes it easier to clean

Here is a cut and paste of 303 web site, link is http://www.303products.com/main.php?...echaeroprotect

"303 Aerospace Protectant will give your vehicle’s paint job that “always wet look” for a superior shine. "

 

OK--I learn lots of new things every day on this forum. I still wouldn't use it on top of my NXT, I'm more confident in a product that's specifically-designed and well respected as an automotive paint protectant. On tires--it's kind of a waste, since UV degradation of the sidewall is no problem on high-perfomance tires driven hard and replaced in 1 1/2 years or so.

 

Wax or polymer does that!

 

LOL... ok if you say so. have fun putting on 303 on your paint!

 

I would never put 303 on the paint. Zaino and probably the other polymer based finishes already add UV protection, so the 303 is unnecessary.

303 Protectant is great on all the interior finishes. The dash looks great with it.

 

Anyone in Aerospace will swear by this product.

Do a search I think you will find some good reviews here.

 

Best stuff I have ever used on my dash. It works great and doesn't leave you dash with a glossy silicone look as armor all does. It also doesn't etch the piano black plastic as the alcohol based systems can.

 

I use it regularly on my Miata's top and the door and trunk seals. Works great, lasts a long time. Have been using it for about 4 years.

 

Lasts a long time too -- great product.

 

Great stuff. Just use one rag to put it on and another, dry rag to take out any streaks or any leftover product.

 

If you want a 32oz spray bottle, Amazon was the cheapest. If you want a gallon, someone on ebay was selling it with free shipping.

I plan on getting it on ebay to try out and maybe the gallon later on.

You can get it a bit cheaper on eBay if you look.

 

yah,

when i posted that years ago i think i paid 34bucks shipped for it...

beers

 

Inflation eh?

 

Well I ordered it today. Look forward to getting it and spraying it on. $23.70 shipped from Amazon for a 32 oz.

 

I swear by it, best protectant I ever used. The best part (for me at least) is that it doesn't leave that dust attracting 'bling-bling' shine, that I loathe so much. I've found that it will last through several washes and still hold up also. You can typically get it at marine supply stores (Boat US, etc), or from www.properautocare.com

 

x2, and it is not shinny and does not fly off when you drive it.

I just put it on today. No smell and not a lot of film or shine left behind. It does make the leather a bit slicker than without it.

I don't like the standard spray bottle. It only does 'stream' and not 'spray'. I ended up wetting the microfiber towel and wiping things down in many places.

What I found is that the standard spray splatters and if you don't get all the little splashes they can dry and you have to rub really hard to get them out.

So how often do I have to redo the interior? Once a month?

 

How well does this work on the scuffs that are put in the plastic on the lower sills of the door and the plastic near the seat cushion?
