<strong class='bbc'>What does the 303 smell like?? [/b]</blockquote>
It has virtually no scent whatsoever, unless you open a bottle full of it and put your nose to it. It leaves absolutely no smell, and you can't even smell it when you're spraying it. Like I said, you have to smell a whole pool of it to really detect the bad scent.

<strong class='bbc'>303 doesn't smell as bad as Vinylex but it is a comparable smell. It goes away pretty quickly though IMO. [/b]</blockquote>
I thought Vinylex smelled pretty good!!:rolleyes:
 
Here's a pic of an interior with Vinylex for comparison.

DK convinced me to use 303. I usually do not like anything on the dash as I hate the reflectivity of protectants. Yes, the 303 made the dash more reflective but not too bad and much less reflective than Vinylex.

303 on the rest of the interior has worked great for me. A very satiny look that's hardly noticeable unless you really look. Perfect, IMO. Vinylex is glossier which some people like (that pic of the Trans Am black interior is an excellent representation of what Vinylex does).

On exterior pieces like trim and tires, I do not like 303 at all. I prefer a bit more gloss on the exterior and 303 doesn't provide it. My fave exterior protectant is Pinnacle Vinyl and Rubber stuff but I also like Eagle One Concours and Vinylex.

So it all depends on what look you want, both interior and exterior. Use the products that do the job for <em class='bbc'>you[/i].

Do you use the 303 full strength on the leatherette?

I haven't put anything on my leatherette yet other than just using a damp cloth.

I usually use Vinylex on the dash but agree it is too shiny.

I picked up some 303 based on comments here and the great write up but haven't had a chance to use it yet.

Thanks
 
Just for the hec of it, yesterday I tried to give me dash a shinier look using 303 (which I love and always use). Normally, it gives a natural matte look, which isn't very noticable. I wanted to make it a tad shiny, so I applied the 303 liberally with a foam brush. I let it sit for about 10 minutes and then buffed it off. It is a tad shiny, but it does not glare in the sun.



Just thought I'd share that with you so you knew your options.

<strong class='bbc'> Hmmm, maybe I should do a little test on my rear bumper and try all three products on the bumper and see which one last the longest. [/b]</blockquote>
Spoken exactly like an Autopian, I LIKE it! Bring it on buddy! That kinda stuff is <strong class='bbc'><em class='bbc'>highly encouraged[/i][/b] around here. :xyxthumbs
 
I just started using 303 based mostly on the positive posts here.



Did my third apps yesterday on my tires using the E1 tire swipes. They do a great job allowing great control of thickness. I use one to apply and another to wipe off excess after 10 min.



I plan to do the dash next week.I currently use 3M Refresh protectant. It will be very difficult for me to convert, but I am always looking for the diffrent stuff to try .



My only complaint is with the 303 spray nozzle. Delivers too much doesn't allow good control. I will probably transfer to my emty Mequiars QD bottle for better spray control. IMHO the Mequiars QD spray nozzle is the best. I use it for my EFCP and PCM QD sprays sves a lot of product.



Good Luck:xyxthumbs
 
Hey folks,



I've read a ton about 303 and finally got myself some. I applied it on my relatively new Pro5, but found that it seemed to streak when it dried/soaked in. I know everyone has talked about buffing it... but if I wait more than 30 seconds it seems to soak in and there doesn't seem to be anything to buff!



Am I missing something here? Maybe applying too much? Too little?
