303 Aerospace Cleaner

I recently tried it for cleaning tires. Tires are relatively new (<10k miles). I diluted per the instructions (well almost :o ) 30:2. Instructions were 30:1. I was underwhelmed to say the least. I ended up reverting to a Dollar Store APC (Awesome - have you seen/tried it?)



Has anyone tried it (the 303 cleaner)? What did you use it on? What were your results?
 
I don't know if its the same one but I used some 303 cleaner that was in a spray bottle.



It was about the only thing that I used that cleaned my spa and shower, worked great.



I used it on my tires and they looked great but after a few days they turned brown.



Took me several weeks to clean the brown off and apply mothers protectant to get them black again.

I am underwelmed also. It may be a good degreaser (not confirmed by me yet) but its not a good APC. I think its all water and its abilities are all perceived in the mind. I should have asked for my $ back. What a waste.
 
Wow I'm shocked to hear 303 Aerospace cleaner didn't work well for you guys. I've been using it for a while in my shop and I think it works great. Granted the dilution ratio's are bit extreme , but I've found that using it full strength removed some pretty nasty brake dust that had been on the wheel for a good amount of time.
 
I have also been very disappointed in the 303 Aerospace Cleaner. I was lured by web page hype about it's safety, but it turns out that the product is simply ineffective at cleaning at the recommended dilutions of 20:1 and 30:1. I'll try the remainder of the cleaner at full strength for wheel wells, chassis, etc. However, I won't be buying another gallon of this stuff again.

Well, I'm glad to see it's not me :o It is rather pricey, but so is the 303 protectant and IMO it is a very nice product so I thought I would try it and based on the suggested dilution ratios it would have worked out to be affordable. Unfortunately in my experience it is worth even half the price. :down



It's ironic that ShineMGood mentioned water, because that is exactly what it looked like while spraying it on the tires. And remember I used double the suggested dilution.



Thanks again for the input.
