I have all this stuff to try out now... Well, I`ve used QEW many times, and two of those bottles are for my Mom. But the rest is all new to me.



I hit the wipers up last night with the 303 Wiper Blade stuff. It seems to leave a sort of coating on them, not unlike and Endurance/#38 kind of thing. But I haven`t seen it in action yet. I managed to do 6 wipers with one sponge easy. As long as you keep your wipers clean, you could do a bunch of wipers with one applicator.



I have used the 303 Shower Shield once now. It does seem to keep the shower clean, though it doesn`t induce a lot of beading. In fairness I was so eager to try it, I didn`t get the shower overly clean (I couldn`t find where my wife put the cleaning stuff, so I had to use APC+ and some terry towels). But after a week the shower still looks as clean as it did. No spotting on the glass or anything (though I do squeegy the shower).



I tried the Protect-All Shine Plus out on part of the counter. It really makes it feel smooth. I think it will make it much easier to keep clean. Stuff can just be wiped off.



The rest I still haven`t used. I really want to try the Wolfgang, but my car is just soo good looking still, the Nissan just got some #26 about 3 weeks ago, and the Regal just got NXT`d last week. Maybe I`ll QEW the Nissan and then Wolfgang it. I`ll try the 303 protectant probably on the Aurora, and I still need to #38 all the exterior rubber and plastic like under the front windshield.



I`m not sure what I`ll try the Protect-All on. It says it has carnauba wax and can be used on basically anything. They are free-sample sponges with the product in them.



Anyway, I`m certainly excited, and I`m certainly running out of space for detailing supplies. I have way too much stuff to ever use up...

Does anyone have experience using 303 wiper treatment? I have used RainX in the past and was not very impressed.

Some Rain-X wiper treatment? Or you just mean Rain-X? I think the 303 is more to prolong the life of your wiper blades, to keep them from chattering, and to keep ice from sticking to them. Whereas Rain-X is to coat your windshield so you don`t need your wipers as much.



I don`t think Rain-X is all that great, but after I started using Jngr`s application methods (apply it before washing the car, basically), I don`t have any hazing from it and it beads water off better than if I do nothing.
