I need to work with both products more to come up with any conclusions.

Based on my limited experience, I'll offer up the following:



330 reminds me of Optimum in terms of no dusting, no splatter, infinite working time, and the pad you select dictates the level of cut. I started by using a finishing pad on light swirls and it really didn't do much to correct them. A light cut polish pad did the trick. I have more to learn in this area…..



303 is a polymer/glaze blend -very high gloss. This really brings out the 'pop' in your paint. I like it MUCH better than my other glaze products (VM, Red Moose Glaze, Menzerna Glaze, and Imperial Hand Glaze).



I used about 3oz or so of each product on the caddy.

330 and 303 are both brown, and look very similar in shade. 330 is a bit thicker. Both are VERY easy to work with. So far, I’ve been very impressed with the Finish Kare line of products. They work very well for me.
