303 Review

What's that smell?
Finally got a break in the rain, so I decided to do a bit of work I don't usually get to - detailing the rubber moldings around the outside windows and such. I used 303 for the first time and I have to say - it makes the rubber look NEW. No fake, glossy, "detailed" look (like the half-assed detailers do), just brand new rubber. I also did the mud guards and the rubber moldings around the bottom of my bumpers and it yielded the same result - new rubber. I have no idea of how long it will last, but for appearance, 303 is the ticket. Definitely a must-have.
 
Always wondered about the look of the 303...thanks for the review!

According to every post I've read, it protects quite well, and it also has the best sunscreen.

Thanks, Ace. Now I gotta go buy some! :)
 
The look is very subjective based on personal preferrence. I offer the choice of low/satin gloss or high gloss to my paying customers. On trim and mouldings I favor a low gloss...a bit more than what 303 gives.

303 is an excellent U.V. screen and protectant. Unfortunately I've found it to be lacking in longevity when it comes to exterior use. You'll see if it rains a day or two after you've done the window moulding it'll run and streak down onto the painted door surface. Even if you buff it dry to the touch I've still had streaking problems with 303 which is one reason why I no longer use it. On tires it last two - days max.

Stick with what you know works for you and what you like. If 303 is it for you, then thats one less thing you have to try and find.

Natty
 
I agree with Natty on the 303. A nice product for interior stuff, if you like a satin look. However, on exterior trim, the 303 will run down the panels at the sound of rain approaching. :( On exterior trim, about the only thing that seems to hold up for long is Black Jack Black Again. However, it is considerably "shinnier" than the 303.

Hmmmmmmm............ maybe Poorboys Natural look?
 
I just ordered some of Poorboy's products and Natural Look was one of them. Can't wait to try it out. I'll let you know how it holds up.
 
Sorry to hear that. It's always something, right? I guess i'll go with Klasse vinyl treatment next time. Still, it looks great!. If I were taking the car to a show, i'd use 303 for that one-day look.
 
ACE,

I agree, for a one day car show, 303 is just the ticket. I also still use it on my interior. I really like the matte finish.
