Darth Camaro 12/27/15
The other day, after giving the car a "Final Wipe" getting rid of the few remaining `missed spots` and making the finish perfect, it was driven through a moderate rain for several miles. Imaging my surprise when after the rainwater dried off the car, I noticed something missing. Can you see what it is in the pics?
Picture #1 and the tires give a clue .......
The answer is dirt and road film.
On pic #1 you can see some dirt and debris collected where the edge of the trunk meets the bumper cover and there are a few water droplet `tracks` on the back bumper itself. But on the fender and quarter panel [i[right behind the tires[/i] there is nothing. No water spray marks, no dirty drips and no apparent road film built up. Even on the windshield, where normally you would see a clean area in the windshield wiper`s path and a clear line of road film where the wipers don`t reach, but on the Camaro, there is only a thin line of dirt where the driver`s side wiper stops and no discernible difference between the wiper-swept area and the untouched areas, both look equally "clean."
Before using the 303, these areas would be coated in dirt and road film after a short drive in the rain, but now - not so much if at all.
Needless to say, I am impressed. Now granted, I have realized that I am a "Flavor of the Month" type of guy and I get excited trying new products and I like many of them to the point of being obnoxious about it (like my roughly year-long thing with Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions). But I have to say I think the 303 is better (with what knowledge and information I have now) than the TWHS.
The 303 applies better, removes better (only requiring a multi-step removal process if you use lousy towels like I did) and now the kicker - it seems to repel water and road film FAR better than anything I have ever personally seen.
I`d say the 303 has found a permanent place in my garage for the foreseeable future - at least until the next "Big, New Thing" comes along.
