- Why do so many youtube detailers use this? simply because it is amazing!! this is by far the best interior plastic and vinyl restorer and protectant i have used to date!
Super easy to apply, super easy to remove and lasts for weeks before you need to re-apply.

303 is Water based, the h2o (water) molecules will evaporate and eventually will dry. The other added chemicals including the UV protectant will remain. Plastic has electrons, protons, and neutrons, therefore, changing the atomic structure/ static discharge will prevent dust from settling. A good example of how 303 works are like using Bounce Dryer Sheets, Static Guard, and Scotch Guard reducing static making fabric not clingy. Be sure to reapply 303 after car washes and heavy rainfall. If used on car paint surfaces, it provides a nice shine and UV protection while in dry weather, once it rains, 303 will wash off and there will be some streaks. The streaks are the 303 product that did not get completely washed off, but it does not harm the car at all. Just rewash your car by hand and then use 303 again. Get a windshield screen or dash cover to protect your dashboard. 303 has no color additives and does not restore color, it enhances the plastic polymers or pigments making it appear to restore the color of the plastic. The only product I know that does an exceptional job with Exterior black plastic is Cerakote. For Interior use because it contains a Black Dye is Turtle Wax Ceramic Acyrlic Black Spray Wax to keep the interior door and floor panel's black trim looking great. Rub and buff the Turtle Wax in. It will cover up light minor scratches and scuffs caused by people who drag their feet instead of picking them up when entering/exiting the car.
Thanks for this, very insightful and useful info 👍🏻
Been using 303 for many years I love it ,the dash on my LR discovery D4 is brilliant as it gets exposed to very high temps when we travel to Spain.I usually coat everything including tyres and everything rubber about once a year, we have three cars and they all look fantastic.
Like the idea of using it as a tyre dressing! Might give the RS a coat on the tyres tomorrow 👍🏻
I think you're supposed to clean the interior first before you apply the 303. On your doorpanel you can clearly see the stains through the 303 near the doorhandle. Clean the interior with interior cleaner or with Poorboy's APC+D with 1 to 15 dilution and then the 303 to get the best results.
I was just about to say the same thing it's not a cleaner it's a protective LOL
Watched this vid using a mirror. Made a whole lot more sense here in america.
😂👍🏻
Thank you for posting this. I am glad you had such good results, just remember this is for protection and not intended for cleaning, I find best results by cleaning with a cleaner first and then using the 303 next.
Brett Schiewe absolutely agree, I just like to see how well these interior detailers do in terms of cleaning as well as protecting. Normally, I use meguiars APc to clean the surfaces first before applying a dress coat, but like I say, curiosity gets the better of me :) thanks for the kind words and tips 👍🏻
I have used 303 for years. It was initially designed for use on aircraft so it should work great.
That’s cool, I didn’t know it was actually designed for use on planes! It does work great though I must say. My favourite interior detailer by some margin 😃👍🏻
303 is an excellent product. I have used it to also treat my weather mats after a good scrub with an apc. Brings them back to better than new level. I have not used it on tires though.
Alex915 yeah it’s awesome, I was super impressed! I’ll give it a try on my ST tyres, see what it does 👍🏻
I have used on tires and feels has restore conditions. My tires were dry and squeaky but now they feel more responsive and elastic
Well after watching and reading loads of stuff about car interior detailers that also add protection like you sied this product kept coming up and after watching your video not all the guys from across the pond I thought yeah take heed of your own so now I'm going to get 303
You won’t regret it! It’s great stuff! Just remember and wipe off the excess with a clean microfibre after applying it 👍🏻
@@DaveRebuilds 👍
I love this stuff! I won’t use anything else on my car (interior and exterior)
Yeah I agree, it’s pretty awesome stuff
I’ve been watching your videos over the last few days. I have to say, I really enjoy them. 👍
Thanks dude 👍🏻, much appreciated
my car had a squeaky belt , someone suggested this stuff, and it worked !!
Really? That’s cool, didn’t think that would be a thing 👍🏻
th-cam.com/video/F7ZoCE6m-Co/w-d-xo.html@@DaveRebuilds
How does this stuff smell? Something to keep in mind for future vids. I never hesrd u mention it
Good point. I’ll start doing that in future product vids 😃👍🏻
The protectant is meant as it's titled as, not a cleaner. You'd probably want to hit the "greasy" marks and fingerprints with diluted APC or dedicated interior cleaner THEN use 303 Protectant for better adhesion to the materials.
Agreed, that’s what I do if I’m detailing a car, but watching the TH-camrs who say it’s the best thing ever, they don’t wipe the panels down first which I think is bonkers 👍🏻
@@DaveRebuilds It’s a great product in terms of its purpose. But I couldn’t get use to its “slick” feeling on my door cards. I’ll give it another shot but really buff it down this time. ✌🏽
@@JJS432 yeah you don’t want it to sit on the panel very long before buffing it off or that slick feeling takes ages to go away lol👍🏻
Helps to clean the body oils off before applying a up protectant
Windshield glass has plastic in the middle, which blocks 100% of the UV, and side windows have UV-blocking chemicals added that, varying by the manufacturer, block like 95%. So why, on modern cars, do we need a UV-blocker on the interior? BTW, I use 303 on tires myself, and generally like the product.
Cool, that’s good to know 👍🏻, thanks! Use it on tyres? That’s awesome, will give that a try 😃👍🏻
Good video, thanks. I am going to get some of this. But ... I could still see fingerprints on the passenger-facing surface of the dashboard, lower right, where a hand was pressed against it, and the 303 didn't blend it away. What's up with that?
It could just have been a spot that I missed or that was still drying? I have found that it’s best to use an APC first to clean the plastics before applying the 303, it makes the finish last way longer as the 303 gets a better contact with the plastic 👍🏻
The detail geek loves this stuff
Yeah he does and I totally understand why 👍🏻
I use it on my R/T stripes and plastic trim. Works great
Awesome 👍🏻
@ItachiTheSuperSaiyan yup, keeps them from fading.
Great video review this mate! I have just bought some 303 for my car interior and it is really good!
thanks dude! yeah i agree, it is probably the best i have used so far (use it almost exclusively now!) i do rate the meguiar's interior detailer as well though :)
@@DaveRebuilds It's going to be a tough one to beat that's for sure! You can't go wrong with Maguire's products either! Well worth the money! Keep up the good work sir :)
@@naterock1 thanks dude, much appreciated :) i should (hopefully) be receiving a special delivery from Turtle wax this week with their new (not launched yet) graphene coatings line so stay tuned for that :)
@@DaveRebuilds Oooh Nicely done! will do , thanks buddy!
@@naterock1 anytime! it's thanks to all of you guys and girls for subscribing and watching the videos that got me noticed by Turtle wax to get the products, so it's all thanks to you guys
I know this is old but always clean before using 303 I've been using this for years on all my rubber and plastic
Did I test on windshield wipers I know it's silly but was bored bought 4 wipers one set for my car and one set for wife's car let's just say 3 years later wife's wipers still look and work like new mine not so much that was putting 303 on every 3 months
Yeah I know, I should have cleaned the plastics first, but thought I’d see just how good at cleaning it was as well as protecting👍🏻. It’s my go to detailer now and has been for a long time, it’s awesome stuff! That’s super interesting about the wipers, might give that a go myself as replacing wiper blades it a pain in the butt lol, thanks for the tip, really appreciate it 😃
It leaves a finish nicer then from the factory, the untrained eye won’t really notice a difference
Yeah I love this stuff, by far my favourite interior detailer 😃👍🏻
I want to like the all surface cleaner i bought but it honestly sucks. Left a white mark on my radio screen. I did not let it dry either, wiped right away. And it sucks on windows even though it says its great for windows. Ill have to give the protectant a shot after seeing your results.. My wife is going to kill me seeing another bottle of car detailing stuff come in from amazon 😂
Lol my wife is at the point now that she just rolls her eyes when I buy new products 😂. Try meguiars all purpose cleaner, it’s fantastic at cleaning plastics! I have a link for it in the description if you’re interested in that as well as the 303 👍🏻
@@DaveRebuilds hahaha atleast we take care of our rides! My wifes car is spotless... Because of me. I take it every week for its vaccum amd wipe down or she lets it get out of control. Typical woman 🙄 lol
@@DaveRebuilds and i love Meguiars products. I have the quick detailing spray for the paint and love it. Ill add that to my list. Lol
@@tylerc7037 lol yeah it’s great! The APC comes in a 5ltr tub and you just dilute it 10 parts water to 1 part APC or if you need it stronger, no more than a 10 to 4 ratio 👍🏻
Does it damage clear plastic? i saw a comment on amazon that said it damages clear plastic like where your gauge cluster is
Yeah I wouldn’t recommend using any products on clear plastic other than soapy water as clear plastics can be a bit “picky” as to what chemicals they like👍🏻
I didn't know the VW Group owns SEAT. The control panel in the center is almost exactly like the one on my VW MKVII GTI.
largol33t1 yeah, VW owns Seat, Skoda, Lamborghini. A Skoda interior is almost identical to the seat as well 👍🏻
Porsche Audi and Bentley or rolls royce idr which of those 2, also Ducati
@@todtalk3912 rolls royce is under BMW umbrella.
I have got to try this!
Yeah it’s really good. Best interior detailer I’ve used to date 👍🏻
Just received mine last Friday, used it on my Seat Ateca too. Found it smeared a bit, hard to remove compared to Son of Gun but dried to nicer matt sheen, perhaps I didn't put enough on the cloth?
Try it again at weekend.
David Johnston I found that putting too much on made it harder to get the good Matt finish. Did you use 2 cloths I.e. 1 to apply and 1 to remove? I found that helped to stop the smearing quite a bit 👍🏻
@@DaveRebuilds aye on with a microfibre pad and off with microfibre cloth. Will use two cloths next as pad may retain too much product.
Finish was great, just hard work compared to SOG or Dash Dandy.
I use one of those small kitchen pads using the spongy side,I find that you use less 303 than a cloth also you can cut the sponge to small sizes to get into small spaces.I love this stuff and have been using it for years.
@@blackvulcan100 good idea, will give that a try 👍🏻
@@blackvulcan100 yea I bought a couple packs for less than £1as I use them for tyre gel, tried one and works fine for the 303
Can this be used in the engine especially rubber hose
Yeah it can indeed, it’s really good at detailing engine bays 😃👍🏻
Should we use this before or after using a wax for interior?
You use this instead dude. Give the plastics a clean with some all purpose cleaner and then protect them with this stuff👍🏻
@@DaveRebuilds ok thank u will try that!
@@vlonecat4352 😃👍🏻
can i use this to clean in engine?
I would use an all purpose cleaner first to remove the heavy dirt/oil, then use the 303 to dress the plastics 👍🏻
What type of Aroma does it have?
Don’t think it has much of an aroma, it’s not really scented like say meguiars or turtle wax detailers
What’s the difference between this one and the blue 303
I think they blue one is a paint sealant, not 100% sure tho as I haven’t tried it
@@DaveRebuilds the name of it is 303 protectant interior and exterior
@@joseb4723 interior and exterior trim and plastics 👍🏻
@@DaveRebuilds so does this 303 that you reviewed right? And another question I have a 2018 Ford Explorer I want to clean the seats but not sure wich leather cleaner to use
@@joseb4723 I use it on interior and exterior trim and it works really well👍🏻 there are so many 303 products I’ve yet to review tbh. I really rate meguiars leather cleaner if that’s helpful? They also do a leather balm for after the leather is clean
What you got over spray on glass spray it on the towel
I usually do the glass last when cleaning a car so I don’t tend to worry about overspray, that being said, I hear your point, it would make more sense 😃👍🏻
Thanks
you're welcome :)
Bought some 303 and it works decent so I went to buy more and NOW THEY HAVE 303 FOR EVERYTHING !!! Paint , plastic and rubber , tonneau cover , I THINK I'M DONE WITH IT , NOT GOING TO BUY A BOTTLE FOR EVERYTHING ON THE VEHICLE. THE AEROSPACE SPRAYER BROKE AND I COULDN'T USE IT - $16.99 A BOTTLE . Just believe this is getting carried away . Just MHO👎👎👎👎👎
Lol, yeah I only use the bottle in the video, I use other products for the paintwork etc. It is good and goes a long way compared to its competitors, but cleaning products can get expensive if you let it, trick is to find a product that you love and stick with it 👍🏻
It's a protectant not a cleaner. You should clean with a cleaner and then go 303
Agreed, I use meguiars APC mixed 10-1 first then the 303 to protect. I just used it to clean to see how good it is at cleaning 👍🏻
should you apply the protectant immediately after using another product for cleaning it?
@@kimchijiji6490
Yes
I had difficulty understanding the speaker. Sounds as if he has marbles in his mouth.
Lol. Out of interest, is it because you find my accent hard to follow, or the quality of the microphone isn’t good enough?
