303 Products

Does anyone have any experience with 303 products? From what I gather, it seems to be great to use on Jeep tops and boat canvas. Was interested in it for my Jeep, but I don't want to buy into a gimmick.

I like the aerospace protectant a lot. I used it on my interior plastics and exterior surfaces. Provides a matte shine, no greasy finish and lasts reasonably well. I have not used their other products.

You don't use it on your top?

I use Raggtop products for my vert top. They sell products for both vinyl and fabric. I've only used the fabric product and it works great. You use the cleaner first then when rinsed and dried, use the protectant. For the protectant or any of them, be sure to cover areas you don't want the product touching. It won't ruin anything but its annoying to clean up. Once done, the water beads and rolls off very nicely. Lasts at least a few months.

Hmmm looks like good stuff. I was originally thinking aerospace so I could use it on the dash etc as well since the top of the door panel has already faded. I have bestop's line of jeep top care but I'm not sure I am all that impressed with it.

Both 303 and Raggtop will work great

Love 303 products. Use them on my skis and boat - never thought to use it on the convertible top. Granted, it never sees the outside world enough to treat it more than once or twice since we've had it.

Has anyone used the high tech fabric guard? I was considering doing my cloth seats with it but don't know if its worthwhile.

+1 303 Aerospace on interior plastics and some exterior rubbers. Lasts for months and gives the dash a factory new look, instead of overly shiny like some other products. Don't have a ragtop to comment on

Also, I had a tough time finding it, eventually found at ACE.

Yeah, good to know. I was going to order it online but maybe I'll stop in Ace on the way home one day.

I use 303 as well. Last time I cleaned up my Corvair I used it on the convertible top and it still looks great (cleaned it about a year ago and it's been in the garage since).

I used it and looks good. I really like that it protects from UV damage!

I use 303 in the shop for interior trim, outside plastic trim, and even to detail under the hood (hoses and plastic parts).

A little pricey, but it does go a long way...

Yeah I used it a few weeks back on my jeep, inside and on the soft top and plastic trim. Its pretty nice stuff and leaves a pleasing finish. I can't comment on the longevity of it yet. Top still looks good though. Interior has lost most of the shimmer but I haven't had the top or doors on for quite some time so I'm sure that accelerated the dissipation of the product. That or the plastics were so dried out they soaked it all up

Yeah, its a bit pricey but what do you want from a "aerospace" product?? When you find some thing better LMK... But I doubt it
