303 Touchless sealant

[PA DETAILER]

303 just jumped on the bandwagon...

Have you had trouble finding time to fully wax your car? 303® Touchless Sealant will save you hours! This Si02 formula is a completely TOUCHLESS quicker alternative to waxing your vehicle. Simply spray on, and rinse off – it’s that easy! It only takes minutes to get that same water beading protection you get from a full wax, saving you hours spent in the garage. It’s also great for those looking to prolong the time in between waxes, or ceramic coatings. Safe for clear coat, gel coat, fiberglass, plastics, windshields and wheels too!
DIRECTIONS:
Wash your car out of direct sunlight while surface is cool. While surface is still wet and out of direct sunlight, spray a small amount of product evenly across surface, treating one section of vehicle at a time. Only a light mist of product is needed. Immediately rinse section off. You will see water beading on surface, meaning it is now protected. Repeat steps on all sections of vehicle, and then dry thoroughly with a waffle weave drying towel or microfiber towel. Make sure to rinse product off each section of vehicle thoroughly immediately after applying product – do not let dry on surface, as water spots may occur. Water spots and streaks can also occur if too much product is used, and not rinsed off thoroughly. If water spots occur, rinse surface thoroughly again and dry.​

Wait...its on the market now, didn't even know this, LOL. I've had my bottle for monthes now but have only used it on my wheels as it's not quite warm enough to use down in the garage so I only "tried" it on my wheels, worked fine. Once the weather gets warmer I'll be using my bottle ASAP.

303 took their time developing this product, they know the trend is moving in this direction and wanted to have a great product and didn't cut corners here. I know they're known for their protectant but between their Speed Detailer, an underrated product to be sure, their reformulated Spray Wax and yes, it really is much better than their first effort and now this Touchless Sealant, 303 is looking to give the consumer a great product to make their paint finishes looking their best as well as being protected.

While I'm thinking about it they now have a compound, polish and finishing polish that are very easy to use, very low dust and produce outstanding results. I used all 3 on my Abarth last June before applying a coating and couldn't believe how my car looked, couldn't wait to apply the coating at that point, it was that good! I also did an early 70's Nova with all 3 products too, a non metallic red that came out really RED! Using these 3 products, along with the Spray Wax or Touchless sealant and maintaining with Speed Detailer will have your car looking it's very best!

Btw there will be 2 sizes available in the future for the Touchless Sealant, stay "tuned"

Tested this product last January on my car, knew it was going to be a winner! I'm glad they went with the larger sized bottle too, plenty for that large truck or SUV and enough for the wheels too.

I dunno about you guys, but that was some of the strangest looking beading I’ve ever seen in that video. Very stringy looking and the water didn’t seem to want to leave the surface no matter how much he sprayed it. I did not like that at all.

I like my paint to be water fearing.

Here is another review where the guy uses an actual garden hose instead of a paint sprayer to demonstrate the beading:

Maybe that was the problem. He couldn’t seem to get proper beading in that vid.
I’ll check this other video out. I see it’s from Accord dude. I remember watching his vids several years ago. He’s still doing his thing.

Yes, and no offense but that looks like the similar stringy beading that won’t get off the surface just like in Apex video. I’ve never seen beading refuse to leave vertical panels like that. It forms stripes? How is that good?

What kind of durability did you see? I plan to buy one of these types of spray for my grill and maybe wheels.

When I tested the product last January I saw great beading the first 2 monthes and acceptable afterwards but we got slammed with a blizzard on Feb 10th 2018, so more abuse to it. This is a great product in a great size, 32 ounces and then there's the price, winner.

I would imagine if you just took a hose and used the flow of water to sheet it the panel would end up dry. I’ Been a 303 fan since the mid 80’s when all they had was their protectant. I will probably order this product for wheels. All our cars are coated so I don’t need it for the paint.

In my experience whenever you have a panel get water misted on it as the droplets connect and become larger the larger drop runs right off leaving the lines like this.

Can you shoot a video sheeting a vertical panel with a hose?

Sadly I can't do that, I only have a Worx hydroshot, that was at my buddy's shop last January 2018.

Now you said your car is coated and you see no reason to use this except your wheels, this makes a great topper for coating, just sayin'

I love Apex Details, or should say I used to, sealant madness series. Ever since he moved to his new shop and can’t use free flowing water it’s just been really underwhelming watching him try to keep it going.

Still enjoy his videos, but it’s definitely not the same. His video on meguiars HCW where he used his IK9 to spray it was just really frustrating to watch and not at all an accurate representation of the product.

The paint gun he’s using now is a huge step up but it’s still not a replacement for a hose or pressure washer.

Edit: I’d also be interested in seeing a picture or video of how water behaves on your vertical panels. Here where we get rain often (lol) it’s not uncommon for me to come out and see they pattern on my vertical panels. The slow pour of rain just seems to do that with every single LSP I’ve ever used.

With a hose or something, the water runs right down. But when it’s from rain or mist, it seems to cling like in his picture almost always.

I’ Been a 303 fan since the mid 80’s when
all they had was their protectant.

I will probably order this product for wheels.

IMO:
•Similarly to some other water-activated Sealants...
-It’s going to be extremely difficult to keep this
particular Sealant from getting on the tires when
“doing the wheels” (unless they’re unassembled).

-As a result of this “overlapping”, what protectant
will you be using on the tires before (or perhaps
even afterwards, if need be) the sealing of the
wheels with 303 Touchless Sealant processes?


•Just Wondering:
-will 303 Touchless Sealant have any adverse
affects on a previously applied tire Protectant?

-what tire Protectants, if any, will adhere to the
303 Touchless Sealant that has befell the tires?

-will this Touchless Sealant actually need to be
touched (as in removed) from the tire surfaces
before the successful application of a tire Protectant
can be effectuated?

TIA.

I wish it would allow you to post a video from your phone on here. As far as youtube, I’ve never posted anything on youtube and while you’re probably gonna say it’s easy I honestly have no clue how to do it. I’ve never even thought about it.

All I have is pictures.
It’s been raining all day here. I went outside and took a picture earlier just after having posted in this thread. It had just finished raining and was sprinkling when I took this pic.

These next 2 pics I took just now. It was raining up until 20min. ago and this is what the same door looks like right now.

These next pics are the water behavior from the hose nozzle. These first 2 were taken a split second apart using burst on iphone.

You can see the same water in front of the wheel hasn’t hit the ground yet.

Nearly all this water rolled off.
