You can see here that 303 AP not only makes the trim much darker, but also fills in some of the deeper scuff marks for a cleaner look. All this while remaining perfectly matte with no sign of oily or dirty residue. Keep in mind this is done with a trim piece that was only wiped down with some ONR prior to the 303 AP application, so it didn’t receive a thorough wash or cleaning. As far as the 2007 reformulation other more toxic ingredients like diethyl glycol were removed, likely replaced with propylene glycol. Which is the same surfactant in Aerospace 303. So now Armor All is likely the same exact formula as Aerospace 303 hence why that Mike-in-Ornage guy will even admit that their very own Meguiars product doesn't have any real advantage compared to Armor All except the lower shine. Which of course can be replicated simply by watering the protectant down. When it comes to protecting your valuable surfaces, 303 Aerospace Protectant is a game-changer. Not only does it provide exceptional UV protection, but it also offers a range of other benefits that make it a must-have product for any maintenance routine. Protection Against Harmful UV Rays When cleaning the surface, it is recommended to use a mild soap or detergent that is safe for the material you are treating. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the surface.

Unlike many protectants that leave greasy residues, Aerospace Protectant dries to a clear matte finish. And because it’s water-based, this protectant is safe to use on all products, from your vehicle’s paint job and leather seats to internal engine parts.Remember to reapply 303 Aerospace Protectant periodically to maintain the protective coating. The frequency of reapplication will depend on various factors such as weather conditions, exposure to sunlight, and usage. Convertible tops, soft tops, boat enclosures, tonneau covers, vinyl caravan awnings…these are just a few of the places that benefit from this protectant that contains an SPF 40 sunscreen.

Aerospace 303 the percentage of silicone is actually stated in the MSDS. So that's easy enough. And simply do this test weigh Aerospace 303 before drying and after. Then do the same with Armor All. If you're unwilling to even do this, you have no standing to just assume I have no idea what I'm talking about. There's a guy, Mike-in-Orange, who actually works for Meguiars. And he also pretty much confirms all the plastic protectants are just silicone emulsions. PDMS dissolved in water.By following these steps and taking proper care of your surfaces, you can enjoy the many benefits of 303 Aerospace Protectant for an extended period. Maintenance and Care with 303 Aerospace Protectant When it comes to Microlights and other dacron covered aircraft It is a fact that in five months of continuous exposure to sunlight, Dacron will loose 85% of it's tear strength.

All of the thin milky protectants are just a PDMS (silicone) solution that is the active ingredient nothing else. Hence why as far as ingredients go none other are listed in the MSDS. The World's Most Manufacturer-Recommended Product: Because of its enduring cosmetic properties, the resistance of 303-treated surfaces to dust, soiling, and staining, its water repellency and unparalleled protective characteristics, manufacturers worldwide recommend 303 Aerospace Protectant.If you want a shiny engine bay its not the product for you , it should be used as a protectant and in most instances you shouldnt even visibly see it.

The powerful conditioners within the formula revitalize materials, restoring their natural resilience and preventing premature aging. Think about your outdoor furniture. Constant exposure to the elements can take a toll on its appearance and structural integrity. However, by regularly applying 303 Aerospace Protectant, you can protect your furniture from the damaging effects of rain, snow, and even saltwater. The protectant forms a barrier that repels water and prevents it from seeping into the material, ensuring that your furniture remains in top condition for years to come.

Matt: Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate it. I’m lining up some more similar “simple” articles that should be up shortly, so hopefully you’ll enjoy those as well. Use a clean cloth to remove any excess product. Wipe off any remaining residue to achieve a clean and streak-free finish. Take your time during this step to ensure that all excess protectant is removed. Below is a very short guide on how I like to use the 303 AP and a few photos to show the results. I prefer a dark matte surface on pretty much anything I condition and protect, which is why I use 303 AP for almost any sort of dressing or conditioning that I’ll be doing on a vehicle. For this guide, I used a small trim piece from my 93 BMW 325i to show what 303 AP can achieve in a very short period of time. The trim piece is roughly 6” x 2” in size for reference. Armor All still comes out on top even pre-diluted, unless PERL is at best case scenario and Armor All at worst. But the PERL being anywhere from 40-70% does not instill me with confidence since the range is so wide you don't know what you're really getting or CarPro isn't controlling their mixtures quite as tightly as they should be and need to state a wide range to cover their behinds in case someone tests the product for OSHA business reasons. I guess you can always let that gallon of Armor All evaporate but really why reconcentrate the Armor All when PERL will be watered down for use anyways? What I will say is Armor All's concentration of silicones isn't posted but can easily be inferred from a simple evaporation test. Considering post reformulation they removed the other VOC ingredients like diethylene glycol, basically antifreeze, the new formulation is not only more VOC compliant and less toxic but even easier to infer the actual silicone content accurately.
