Default Pics of interiors with 303 aero please

Can I get some interior pics from those who use 303 aero. I just want to see what it looks like before i go and order some. Also, if anybody has pics where its on their tires, that would be great too. Thanks.

Also, how does 303 aero compare to the Zaino tire treatment?

I already have some interior cleaner from a dealership where i used to work, so, i don't want to waste $10 on something thats not going to be comparable or better. Thats $10 that I could spend on something that I actually need.

This was a pic I took at the car show my Z was in on Father's Day. I did the interior with 303 but you really can't see the results very well.

Trust me. It is good stuff. It is WAY better than Armor All. Usually stuff from the dealer is just a money maker for them. Go for it dude!

I had a feeling that Dr. Bonz would be the one to answer this, thanks Doc.

The dash, the doors, the black part of the kick plates, the rear strut, the black vinyl/plastic that makes up the front of the rear strut, the glovebox door, the sub encloser area etc.

303 is the best you'll find for your interior. I love it - looks great, not greasy, not too shiny. That said, do NOT use it on the door panels. Use the Bonz car for example. Your doors will look like this in direct sunlight regardless of application method. Do a search and you will find a couple of threads on the subject with more pics.

Yes, but they are going to look like that in sunlight no matter WHAT you use. 303 at least will protect them against fading.

No offense intended Bonz, I just used your panels as an example. Mine looked exactly the same after the 303 and it really pissed me off. I've found that you can use a strong cleaner/degreaser and you get your nice, even, factory finish back. I'd rather replace the door panels every 3 years from fading than have the blotchy/spotted look.

I've used 303 on the door panels a couple of times and the panels look fine; just like the day I bought the car.

I put the 303 on a cloth & wipe the doors down.

Default Try Murphy's!

You'll love this: I found a great interior cleaner: Murphys Oil Soap! I use just a little mixed with warm water in a bucket with a cotton rag. It cleans well and leaves the vinyl looking like new (and smells good too!), without adding a shiny or oily look.

Yeah, but you got the special "No defects, No problems" version.

I use armorall on the doors and dash. I know everyone bashes Armorall, but I love it. I like a shiny dash and door panels. I dont find I get the blotchy look on my doors. They are like any shiny surface, some parts reflect more light and appear brighter, but as you change your viewing perspective it all looks even. Thats what matters. For those of you who "wash" your panels with soap, are they getting that dirty? Typically I wipe down the dash once a week, but the doors stay pretty clean, just curious....

The best price I've found for a quantity of 303 Aerospace Protectant is from 303. www.303products.com

They sell a 1 gallon refill AND a 16oz spray bottle for $52.90, plus $10 shipping.

Just about all the on-line stores sell the gallon for ~$67.50 and the 16oz for ~$12.95. for a total of $80.45. Plus shipping.

So, if you want to save about $27 or so, check out the 303 web site.
