[The Guz]

I received this as part of the 303 giveaway.

Again I used the same hood I used for the 303 Quick Wax review as seen here

http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/98469-review-303-automotive-quick-wax.html

The hood was polished with Ameridepth as I was toying around with the new Rupes LHR15 Mark II to strip anything that may have been on the hood. I followed that up with a couple IPA wipedowns.

There are the products that I put up against 303 Speed Detailer

From left to right:

Meguiar's M135 - yes this is a polymer detail spray that is stated to be hydrophobic

303 Speed Detailer - stated to leave a protective coating per the product description on Autogeek's product description page

303 simplifies auto care with this versatile quick detailer and protectant. 303 Automotive Speed Detailer removes light dust and dirt and imparts a protective coating. The clear coating repels dust, dirt and stains, and it has powerful SPF 40 UV protection to help prevent oxidation and fading.

Meguiar's Mirror Bright Detailing Spray - A new product for 2016.

Adam's Detail spray- I know a lot of folks are not going to like it as part of the test because it's not sold through Autogeek.

Again I used 3 prays of product on a microfiber towel and applied it to each section. Buffed off that area.

All went on easily and all wiped of easily. All products left the surface slick. In my opinion, 303, Mirror Bright and Adams were all on par.

In terms of slickness this is how I would rate them

1. 303 Speed Detailer
2. Meguiar's Mirror Bright
3. Adams
4. Meguiar's M135 - from experience this one gets slicker after the recommended cure time.

I left the hood out in the rain as stated in the 303 Quick Wax review. It appears that 303 Speed Detailer does leave something behind on the surface. Beading on the left is from Meguiar's M135.

Overall I really enjoyed this product. It left the surface feeling slick as well as leaving it glossy. It is slicker than the 303 Quick Wax. I didn't pay too much attention to the scent. The bottle has a nice misting sprayer. Went on easy and buffed off effortlessly.

I would recommend this one.

I agree with your review, its a good quick detailer. It hasnt changed from its original version.

I bought the original when it was BOGO and it made a great drying aid. Smelled good too.

I found this product (original formula) also worked great on my stainless steel fridge, dishwasher and stove. It has found a permanent spot under the kitchen sink.

Thank you for the review, and for including M135 in the shootout. Still a solid product after all these years. Love the smell, too.

From your experience, what's the drop off time (aesthetically speaking) with the 303? I noticed most lost its luster by the 3rd day.

It was hard to tell given that the hood is silver in color. But I can say that after a week they were all not as slick as day one.
