Just used it the other day for the first time. I`m very pleased.



I applied the 303 protectant to the leather, plastic and vinyl interior parts of my 98 Montero and the results are great. The product leaves a very light shine (definitely not gloss). It`s easy to appy and doesn`t seem to attract dust.



After about a week, the interior still looks great! I`m very happy with the results and will continue to use it.

I agree...and it that it does not have silicones that can attract dust....also great UV protection....great for interiors on rag tops that get a lot of sun exposure..

How would 303 compare against Vinylex? Because thats what I am using but since everyone raves about 303 I`m thinking of just getting 303 instead..

the visual difference is vinylex shines more, 303 has a satin finish, which IMO is classier and safety wise there is not the reflection/glare

The www.autogeek.net site has it for what seem like pretty good prices. I checked, and the cost is lower than with CMA, though the shipping may be different. Here`s the direct link:

There is generally a coupon code floating around for a 10% storewide discount. I did a quick search and didn`t see it, so perhaps someone else will chime in with the code.

If there`s an RV or marine store close to you, check there . . . even if it`s a coupla extra bucks for the bottle locally, you`ll probably still be ahead once you figure in shipping.



The 303 website has a retailer search; you can find out if someone near you carries it: http://www.303products.com/main.php?infopage=retailersearch

True Value Hardware stores carry 303. Many stores do not even know they have it available but ask them to look it up on their computer and they can have it shipped to the store for you (at least you don`t have to pay shipping this way).

303 has the edge on Vinylex by a small margin IMHO. Vinylex is noticeably shiner; 303 is flatter but gives textured surfaces a sense of depth. Actually for concours prep last year I mixed both products to emphasize/de-emphasize certain interior details. And I got a perfect 100 score on my interior, so you never know! :)



303 is terrible on mirror-smooth plastic, though. It leaves a lot of smears which are tough to get out. Plexus rules for smooth or clear plastic and vinyl!



303 is OK on leather, but IMHO you are better off with a special leather product like Lexol.

I love 303, but we cant get Vinylex here.



It gives vinyl a deep supple appearance.



Im impressed use it every now and then.
