303 aero vs DP protectant

[jrelh]

Hey guys, was researching for interior cleaner/protectant and consensus seems to have popular vote on these two. At least as much as i`ve been researching. I don`t want the glossy interior look, so I am leaning towards DP protectant from Autogeek.net, but does anyone else have any other suggestions or warnings on either of these two? And if I was able to pick these up OTC I`d just buy both and see which I like better, but I would have to buy these online, so that`s why I am holding out and trying to get as much info as possible.

303 is a great product all around!

Anyone else have any advice, or suggestions...?

Neither is glossy. If I were you, I`d go to the 303 website and order their sample kit for something like $4-5 and try the 303, plus a few other products. Plenty to do some dashes.......or, you can find it, perhaps at a local boat dealer to try.



I have both of these actually, but never tried them side by side. By popular vote, 303 gets rave reviews for protection, but if you used either of them regularly, they`re both fine.



Try the 303 sample. If you like it, then you`re set. If not, the go w/the DP. It only takes a few days to get, plus you`ll have a few extra products to try. In the case of DP, AG puts it on special from time to time, so you might score a package deal if you wait. But, I`d give the 303 a shot first.



See ya. :wavey

I was able to pick up 303 at a local RV store. I found that straight 303 left leather looking slightly glossy for my taste but that cut 1:1 with de-ionzed water left a nice, non-glossy look.

303 offers no protective value against oils and dirt on leather

303 has a time tested reputation for working as a UV inhibitor. DP is pretty new. Megs #40 is pretty good too. You can find either locally if you apply yourself. #40 can be had from body supply shops and 303 is available from anyone that sells boating/RV stuff.

Which protectants do you recommend?

How does it fair for regular vinyl/rubber trims?

Some people (including me) are sensitve to the smell of 303. I think it smells like the sweaty gym socks you left sitting in you high school gym locker too long. My wife doesn`t smell it at all. Kind of like a vinegar and BO combo



It goes away after 2-3 days, but whenever I use it I`m afraid that a customer will call back in a day or two to complain about that smell. So far only one woman has complained.

1z Cockpit Premium is a nice cleaner, protectant with a unique smell for most interior surfaces (not really sure about top coated leather). It leaves plastics more natural looking.

whole DP line appears on sale this week saw it on another forum

For a low gloss look, try Megs` Quick Interior Detailer. You can use it on everything. And the price is right.

Update:



So I bought this cleaning kit online, came w/ a sample of 303 aerospace protectant, which is extremely convenient. So tried it out on my interior, came out great. Just what I was looking for a non-greasy/oily look unlike the last product I tried. It was only a test product that came w/ a soaked spunge btw. Also is this cleaner suppose to be used as a once every 6month protectant? Or is this something that I can use weekly to clean the inside of my car, basically asking if whether or not if too much of this is bad for the interior. Because if I can use it weekly, was going to get a big jug and detailer bottles, and use it it for all the cars in the garage.



Also can I use the protectant on fabric/cloth, or do I have to get the one made specifically for fabric/cloth; since I see they have a seperate product for those surfaces.

You can used the 303 aerospace protectant as often as you like. I find myself using it about once a month or so. What kit did you get? The aerospace protectant is only to be used on vinyl or plastics.
