303 is SOLD as a "UV protectant"..
The manufacturer "says" it "works" as such.
Users "claims" it "works".. But DOES it REALLY work?
Has an Independent laboratory done testing on it? I doubt it.
How can it work when it washes off with water?
It IS supposed to be water "soluble" and as such each time it gets wet with water it WASHES off..
Tires if you have not noticed ARE NOT "water soluble" and putting anything on top is simply going to rub or wash right off.
The only good thing going for 303 is that it supposedly does not contain petroleum distillates but I have not really looked into that claim (I would bet that the actual MSDS filed will most likely show a few petroleum byproducts since most all things do have some as a base)..
To gain any benefit you would HAVE to constantly reapply each time after it rains or you drive in rainy weather..
Realistically 303 is ALSO "snake oil", it is in the same category as majic potions for engine noises, K$N filters, carb spacers, vortex devices and plenty of other quackery.. But you are plenty welcome to continue using it if it makes you feel more secure..
^^^ I agree. Bought a bottle of it. Have used it and after getting wet neither my tires or anything else I put it on seemed to have any left.
