We have a brand new Cedar Creek. We want to keep the decals looking new. 303 is a UV blocker for tires with no petroleum distillates. I'm thinking about wiping down the decals after washing with 303. Would seem lots easier than keeping up with waxing. Any thoughts?Thanks Al

I recall a post where someone had done the same. He noticed that the 303 brightened up the surrounding fiberglass due to spill over. Sounds like a careful job would be necessary.I used the stuff on my WeatherTech floor mats. It brought them back to looking new but, wow, are they slick. Maybe not the perfect stuff for every situation.

Wash 1st, then wax, followed by 303 on the graphics and misc. plastic trim and metal parts. Depending on exposure to sun, you may want to put the 303 on several times a season. I use synthetic marine wax because it's designed for a harsh marine environment but everyone has their favorite. Gotta keep up with waxing, esp. for a fiberglass sided RV. It's a chore for sure, but well worth it.

On my last RV a 2005 model I used the 303 on all decals and when I traded it in in 2016 the decals still looked new. I must say though I think the decals on that RV were much thicker than the ones on my new RV but I am using the 303 on the decals on it also.

I think aerospace 303 is likely the best product for decals, tires and vinyl trim on rv's and vehicles. Not cheap, but the uv inhibitors do a great job protecting stuff. Since I discovered it I gave away all my Armor all protectant.

303 is good stuff. Use it on decals, slide weather seals, all exterior plastic & the epdm roof.
