Im trying to figure out which one is better.
have you tried either or both? what are your thoughts? if you have some comparative pics please post those as well.

So far all i know is that the duPont is almost 1/2 the price of the 303.

I always cringe when I see the term "teflon" mentioned in conjunction with any product. True teflon is something that is baked (at very high temperatures) onto metal to make it non-stick. It just seems like a buzzword that marketers use to push a product. I'm not sure why you would want or need your interior to be non-stick.

Go with the 303-Aero.

Default Teflon Tire Shine

I was curious so I picked up a bottle of Dupont Teflon tireshine from Autozone. The directions say spray on and walk away but with the Z's low profile tires you can't do that. I sprayed some on a pad and applied it to each tire. I came back with a clean pad and wipped off the excess from each tire. I did a coat and let dry then did another coat on each tire and the tires look pretty good. I like to saturate the pad and get more on the pad than I need. Some ran onto the rims so I took a cloth and wipped it off the rim. One thing I noticed on the front rims after I got some of the tire shine on them is that brake dust washes off easy. Maybe I am just imaging things with the brake dust. I am now evaluating their claim that dirt and dust isn't going to stick to my tires.

I Zaino my wheels and it does cause the dust to stick less and wash off easier. I suspect that anything you put on the wheels along those lines will help with the dust retention problem.

Plus 1 ... 303 is THE product of choice.

I have used it for all my interior areas. Great protection. Also ... exterior .. anything plastic gets a coating every week. Great for the plastic areas in the wheel areas ..
