Disappointed in 303

For many years I’ve used Protect-All® to clean, polish, wax, and UV protect all the exterior surfaces of my vehicles including motorhomes, travel trailers, tow vehicles, toads, etc., but the experts on this forum tell us that we shouldn’t use products containing petroleum based ingredients on our tires . . . they will cause them to blow out or something. Although I’ve never had any tire problems attributable to Protect-All or the Armor All® I used for decades before, I decided to play it safe and get 303 Aerospace Protectant® when I ran out of Protect-All. The first vehicle I used it on was an enclosed trailer. The first thing I noticed was that it didn’t seem to be cleaning and polishing like the Protect-All. Then I could tell from the drag on the final towel that it had not waxed the surface. I looked more closely at the label and literature and sure enough the manufacturer does not claim that it cleans, polishes, or waxes; it is just a UV protectant. Since I’m now the proud owner of a gallon of the stuff, I’ll use it on my tires so they won’t blow out but I’ll go back to Protect-All for the other surfaces.

Fire suit on, popcorn and beer in hand, 303 fans flame away!
