Guys, I have reciently posted a couple of posts concerning an interior cleaner and protectant that you would use. There were lots of suggestions with '303 Aero Space protectant" being a favorite on this forum and Meguiars APC + .

However if you can't find/get a product it is of very little use to anyone! I checked every where in Frederick Maryland today to no avail. I am very tired of searching for the proverbial product/s at the end of the rainbow so I would like to ask this question again.



I ordered a gallon of Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner Plus (+) today from a paint store in Frederick Maryland. No Fuss no Muss!

Absolutely no one in this same area has any knowledge of "303 Aerospace Protectant".



What is an awesome protectant that is compatible with APC+ as a base?

(Available on a national level)! I do NOT wish to search for the impossible dream anymore, just find some desent products sold where there is a a chance of "doing it right", at a reasonable price!

Online. That is where I got mine. I don't think is any better than the OTC products that I can find at Wal Mart, Target, AutoZone, etc. Maybe its my eye.
 
You need to go to a marine store...I got mine from West Marine. Luckily I live 5 min from the Atlantic Ocean ;)
 
Weird, even Canadian Tire carries 303, and they don't carry anything worthwhile...



Buy it online. :)



Oh, and to answer your actual question: Meguiars Quick Interior Detailer.
 
Yeah marine supply places!



There's a boat dealer down the street from me that stocks it.



Or you can order it online!



303 is definitely some good stuff. So is Megs APC but i hate the way it smells.
 
If you absolutely must buy an OTC protectant and can't find 303 (try Marine shops as suggested), Meg's #40 VRCC is a nice protectant as well.
 
For most detailing supplies, its well worth just buying them together at an online store



I barely ever bother checking stores to see if they have products I use, because I know they don't. Only exception is Armor All Tire Foam.

Strokin 04, I owe you! Thanks very much for the link. I found it about 30 miles from me.





Patrick, I absolutely hate air conditioning, so the attributes of "Lack of greasiness and protection" are perfect for me.



Al-53, you were right ! Thats where I found it , a "Marine" store.



Thanks to all the others who took the time to help.

PS. Patrick I love it when it is HOT (with low humidity). Last summer I was giving my neighbor a ride to pick up his car from a shop when he asked me to pull over, I did, he said turn on the dam air or I'm walking, LOL (It was over 100 in my truck)! I had forgotten that not everyone likes heat like I do!!

You my friend are a sick individual!! LOL

Today was about as warm as I like it. Probably around 78 or so.......Any hotter and I start complaining, and the job suffers!
 
I found 303 at my local hot tub store -- by using the online dealer locator. Also, if you have an Ace Hardware, you can order it online, and they will ship it to your store for pick-up (free).

I'll check this out kkreit01, thanks, when you say for "Free" you mean from the manufacturer (price) to the local ACE, right?

I pay more attention now !!



I went to the Marine store in Rockville Maryland today, never again!! First off, I called they said they had all sizes!

They do, but you have to order the 32 oz an up containers, but they don't tell you that till you get there!!!!!!!!! The drive because of traffic (unbelievable) took just over 2 hours (round trip).



The only thing they had was a16 oz spray bottle that was something like $4.00 and some change, so I got it. What the hell I'll give it a try.

When I got home I read the receipt, it was $14.00 and change!!!!

I called the store, there answer was the following: The "1" must have not printed out on the price tag! Well, it is my fault for not paying attention to what I was doing, so, I have no one to ***** at but myself, but I better not say how I feel about it!!
