303 Automotive Protectorant Review

[Pats300zx]

I picked up a few of the new 303 products to try on my last order. I have always been a big fan of 303 Protectorant and have used it for years in the marine environment on my boat's interior. It has been my "go to" along with Marine 31 Vinyl Cleaner and Conditioner. Between these two products my boats interior looks like it came off the showroom floor even after 17 years. I love the look of 303. It leaves a nice finish that isn't overly greasy or shiny. I feel it's perfect for car interior vinyl to give it that fresh look. The UV protection is also a huge plus.

303 states that the new bottle and packaging on the 303 Protectorant is the same formula as before. I can say I compared the smell and consistency to an old bottle of 303 that I had and they appear to be the same.

Nothing works better on clear plastic to prevent yellowing, hardening, and clouding.


Application

I applied 303 with a micro fiber applicator and worked it into the dashboard and vinyl on my 2006 Dodge Ram's interior

Scent

Very mild and not overpowering

Thoughts

1. A great look that is not overly greasy or shiny and just a step over a matte finish.
2. I have used it on my engine plastic as well with great results. I typically just spray on and walk away.

Nice review and I have found it to work well for me on my vehicles and travel trailers.

I use 303 on my all my interior (dash and leather). I've been thinking, could you use it on leather furniture? I have a leather chair that sits right in front of a window and its starting to fade.

I use in on tires as well, I dont like high gloss and I think 303 makes the tires look more like a new tire than a shined up glossy one.
It lasts between car washes so is good enough for me.
