I can honestly say that you wont find a better product. Try it on the tires too. While it may not look that striking at first, you learn to love the look. Becase when the tires now look like clean, black rubber, not like they were slathered in grease, and this maked the whole car look much more profesional.

Brad; Where can you get this stuff and does it have the same problem as the Armour All where you get that hazing on the inside of your windows if you use it on the interior?

Like I have said before, the hazing is from the out-gassing of the vinyl and such, not the protectant you put on it. Silicon dressings (armor all) which attack the vinyls natural protectants, may enhance this fogging affect slightly.

These gases atribute to the new car smell, which i rememebr reading somewhere, is ever so slightly hazardous to your health But hell its worth it.

Just finished detailing/protecting the whole interior. Well, 303 really works wonders on this interior. The plastics are a tad dull, but with the 303, they look much richerwithout looking shiny. I was most impressed with the 303 on the leather seats. While I thought they looked good, the burnt orange seats looked a little flatter than i had hoped, not any more!. Wow, the difference is subtle, but the 303 really makes the seats look much better.

Just did the same, but only on the interior plastic surfaces. It does make a nice difference. Plan to do my new tires, before they go on, too.

I highly recomend you use it on the leather, you really dont need to use Leather Conditioner on your car's leather, and it will be more of a waste. 303 protects the seats better and moisterizes them to a degree. again, this is what i have found over the years and after talking to some chemists, seems to be the better aproach.

The (charcoal) seats in my Z have already been done with a good leather treatment. Figured 303 might be too much of a good thing. Later on, perhaps.
