I have been using this product for years and always buy more before I run out. That should tell you something.
This stuff is excellent and I use it inside and out. I have used it for years and won't use anything else for al my vinyl.
I really like 303. It does not leave any residue. It dries natural and restores plastic, vinyl and rubber surfaces. And of course it's a UV protectant!
This is hands down the best interior cleaner I have ever used!!
Aerospace 303 Protectant is perfect for rubber moldings and any rubber product found on the car. I use it to restore moldings around doors and under the hood. It gives a well preserved look to the rubber instead of a slick greasy or shiny look. I use it on each and every car and highly recommend it.
This is the best protector made by man. You get what you pay for with 303. Top shelf all the way!
I purchased my car a couple of months back and while it is in good shape the engine showed its age. I used the protectant in the engine bay after using poorboy's degreaser and I'm not joking when I say it looks new. Next time I think a will spray directly on and wipe off and not onto the rag first as the directions say, so it can get into the crevices better. Nice clean matte finish and new dirt doesn't seem to be sticking even after a month. I only used it on a couple black interior pieces but got the same great result. A must have product.
I use this for trim and interior. Leaves a nice satin finish, not glossy/slippery. I've gone 3 weeks without re-applying it to my dash in the hot Florida sun. Highly recommend this, I ended up buying 2 gals!
303 protectant simply the best!
This is amazing to use on dash and al interior trim. Not tacky, no dust collection.

I've been using this for years. My 5yr old mazda 3 looked new minus scratches that were self inflicted (this stuff can't protect against sharp objects while moving, heh). I'll continue to use it until someone can find me something better for cheaper.
One great product. Applied with microfiber towel on dash and doors. Nice, non-slick matte finish with no smell. Works well on interior plastic. Should have bought the 32 oz bottle.
There's a reason that everybody likes this stuff. Versatile high quality product.
Brought a tired looking black BMW interior back to life. The pebbled material on the dash and doors now have a rich glow that is not shiny but simply better than it has ever looked. It also worked on the black leather seats, but without the impressive results that I found on the vinyl and door gaskets. I like this product ALOT.
Very nice to use. Went on easier than some others (less drag), and wiped dry nicely. Got it for my hot tub cover, but after reading all these reviews will use on my vehicles. Seems to cover better than others with less product. I did use my Optimum Car Wash on the cover first. Great product!
The only 'final touch' I put on my vehicle interior and exterior rubber trim and moulding. Not to be used as a cleaner, but a finisher, especially in the dashboard.

After reading a review on this product from the site, I decided to go ahead and get me a bottle. To test out how well the product works I decided to do half of my rubber trim (around windows and doors) and leave the other untreated. Super easy to use with a microfiber towel and the treated area definitely looks AND feels a lot nicer. Brought back some faded looking pieces to like new condition. Also, the look seems to last as well as it's been close to 2 weeks now and my trim looks just as good as when I first applied it. I'm looking forward to testing out the product on my interior as well. Price may seem steep, but as they say, great quality doesn't come cheap!
I purchased this to use primarily on interiors, but have found myself using it on various exterior trim pieces, convertible tops, engine components, etc. This stuff works great. It leaves a like new, deep black, with a little added sheen.
This product is excellent. You can use it on just about anything and it works wonders. I highly recommend this product!
S%^t is the bomb! Enough said. Highly recommend.
This is the only product that I found to remove the polish stains from the rubber seals on my car. This was after trying several products that failed. It also restored the rubber to a like new, dark finish that continues to last many weeks after applying the product.
I've just recently tried this product based on a friend's recommendation. It works great. It returned some of the black trim I had inadvertently wiped with car wax back to its original look. I'm very happy with what it does to preserve the interior of my car.
Best Product under the Sun. Nothing protects like Aerospace 303. I recently traded in my truck, and the tonneau bed cover looks just like the day I put it on, 3 years ago. The dealer thought it was brand new. Works great on 4-wheelers also, especially the fiberglass. Nothing comes close to this product.
Best product on the market. I have used this product for many years, and I absolutely love it. I have used it from day one on the dash of a now 15 year old vehicle that remains outside everyday. Not one crack, not one bit of discoloration. Looks as good as the day I bought it. I like that the product doesn't leave a greasy, oily surface like most other interior products. And, I like that I can use only a little of the product (single coat) if I don't want to lot of shine, or that I can use more (multiple coats) if I want that look. I also use it on the engine bay, tires, trim, rubber, etc. A great product!

This is my FAVORITE product for dressing tires, plastic, rubber, complete engine bays and many interior pieces (even leather in a pinch). I also spray some on a disposable wipe and rub down my wiper blades every once in a while. 303 AP is one of the MOST used products in my detailing arsenal! You will not be disappointed.
I have an 05 sebring convertable and have been using this product since day one. My top and vinyl look like new and show no signs of deterioration
I bought this product awhile back and used it for my first time this weekend. I used it on my plastic trim as well as rubber seals which all came out looking like-new. The cars were 2010, and 2011 so they did not need major fixing but just the natural shine was lacking. I applied a coat and then went back over with the rag for an even finish and great "like-new" results.
This 303 aerospace protectant is great stuff, I used it on my mothers car interior which she,following bad advice had used baby oil on the dash leaving it bleached and very dry. fortunately I was just getting into detailing and warned her of this,causing her to stop using it. After I cleaned it with Einszette cockpit cleaner treated it with the 303 I check it after about a week and it is not dry and it has slowed down the fading.
Awesome...freakin'...stuff...period. Depending on how shiny you like, you can let dwell and buff off to a nice sheen or matte finish. All while keeping the UV protection intact.
Great product, very expensive however. It lasts 4 months on a canvas boat cover that is exposed to the elements. Requires two applications for a 35 ft. Searay canvas. It also has good H2O proofing for a sun umbrella canvas.
I will never use anything else for my vinyl & interior of my cars.. Great product very easy to use!
I'm working on a car restoration project and on every rubber or black plastic parts, I use this protectant first before finishing dressing it with the Chemical Guys Black on Black. Brings out a nice satin rich black finish. Also use this on my vinyl dashboard and door panels.

Great product for any surface I've used it on! I have polished/protected chrome, plastic, and even glass with it. It doesn't leave behind a sticky film like some silicone type protectant products use. Seems to penetrate and last a long time. Would definitely buy again!
Great product. Gives deeper sheen than armor all with none of the bad effects. Particularly effective on interiors.
used this on an 04 Envoy that was never treated and made the plastic molding look brand new. Defiantly keeping this in the supply box. A must have!!!!
Could be the best interior product out there.
This stuff works, is easy to apply and gives instant results! This made my windshield trim look new again. Also worked wonders on my Otterbox iPhone case.
This is the best product I've used so far. It makes everything look brand new.

This is one great product to use on the inside of any vinyl or rubber on any car or truck. I have even using it now on the vinyl siding and shutters on my house where the sun has faded the color. I now have a shiny house and shutters again.
Great for everything! Do yourself a favor and buy the big bottle. I wish I had because I use it on everything.
A great product in all around, be it plastic or leather. Works great to keep black dashboards dust free leaving with a matte finish not over glossy. It is great for the exterior trim as well and hold up after washes. It really seems to protect trim exposed to the sun.

Pro tip: buy the huge jug. Even though you need very little of this stuff while using it, somehow you'll find so many uses for it that you'll go through it more quickly than a Hummer sucks down gas.

The greasiness and lacking performance of similar products left me with a bad taste in my mouth. After hearing about 303 I knew it was what i was after. I use it on everything. Protects my interior and exterior plastics without the greasy sheen. In small doses it can leave a nice subtle sheen on tires.
I tested letting 303 soak onto part of my spare, heavily neglected and cracked 20 year old bmw dash. After a few weeks I pushed down on each side of a crack. It took WAY more force to cause the vinyl to crack. I was amazed. My crack free dash will be kept sprayed down with 303 at all times!

Excellent product. Brought my girlfriends neglected engine bay back to life after a cleaning. Even she was impressed. Also keeps my interior looking new. Worked great on exterior plastic that was faded and trim around my sun roof. Brought them back to black easily. Very happy with it so far.

I must echo the many other positive reviews on 303 Aerospace Protectant. I have recently used it on my 2006 Mercedes CLS 500. The results were as I expected (after seeing the hundreds of recommendations). You can either spray it directly on the surface you want to clean or get more precise and dampen a towel by spraying into it. You just wipe on. I use it on the dash and door interiors. The results are quite nice. A clean, sharp, dressed look, but no wet sheen or greasy feel. I can't say that I have tested its UV protection attribute, but I am glad that it is there. I have a few other interior detailers, but when it comes time to buy more 303 Aerospace Protectant is the one I will be refilling.
After spending hours on my customer's cars, there is always that presentation moment, where they walk up and I ask "Well, what do you think?". One of the most common responses is what did I use on the dash. Even in my own car, I'm constantly amazed at the beauty of the 303 as it glistens in the sunlight. That's right. It glistens. This stuff is awesome.
good product, not my favorite but it does darken interior surfaces without leaving a glossy finish, it's black matte when dry. it seems to be holding up great to sitting in the sun hours every day. it is good on all interior surfaces w/ the exception of radio components and leather seats where i find it streaks, i also use it on tires.
Aerospace 303 protectant is a must have for any detail enthusiast to have in their arsenal of products. I've found this product to work great on rubber trim, interior surfaces and it does a great job on engine detailing. No one likes a greasy feeling on their interior and this product does a great job of not only protecting, but giving great results without the grease.
Easy to apply, used on dashboard, plastic & vinyl trim throughout auto. Looks good, not too glossy.
Excellent for those who want a clean interior without a greasy film left behind.
Awesome for interior, under the hood, and black trim pieces. Non-greasy formula and easy to apply when using a MF applicator.
Great product gives perfect amount of shine and protects what more could you ask for. Don't use on a hot surface as it tends to get blotchy. But it says that on the package.
Great product! I was able to use it on the dash of my 06 TL and it also solved the squeaky rubber door seals!!!
Great protectant. Use it on anything from exterior black trim to the dash. Looks like new but doesn't leave greasy residue and it doesn't attract lint
I love this stuff and so do my cars, trucks and bikes. Detailed Image offered the best deal for a gallon and with the free shipping, it was an awesome purchase. Detailed Image was great to work with and I will be doing more business with them in the future.
Great on interior leather, dash board, vinyl, trim. Leaves a good not greasy finish with good protection. It is what I use if I'm not using leatherique. What is doesn't do well is cleaning clear plastic or on your radio screens/LCD screens. I use meguires interior detail for that stuff, but it rocks on everything else. A must have, my most used interior cleaner hands down. I would recommend everyone get some.
I've been using this stuff for awhile now. It not only protects, it also gives a nice finish. I recommend every car/boat/RV owner to pick this up.....and it's not limited to just car/boat/RV owners. Applications are endless! Really is great stuff.
I heard this stuff was a nice protectant so I tried it. It protects great, isn't oily, and lasts a long time. And best of all, my 12 year old faded black plastic looks brand new again. I mean really shiny, and stays that way for weeks. Heck yeah I'd recommend this stuff.
Use it on everything, even the BBQ cover stays shiny and bright, it is the best, we live in AZ And the sun is strong. Furniture looks new after 4 years...
This stuff is great and I use it on everything.
This 303 product works really well. They seem to have a great quality line-up. Nice black semi-gloss but not greasy. Seems to last better than VRT or Armor All. Great stuff!
I ordered the 303 product upon recommendation of my pool cover repairman. His firm uses 303 for maintaining customers' pool covers. I had used Armor All before, but am so much more satisfied with 303. Everybody keeps commenting that my pool cover looks like new. I hope I can preserve my pool cover for a few more years using 303, as a new pool cover costs around 2,300 Dollars and lasts, if not properly maintain, a maximum of 3 years. For my next conditioning it will be 303 again.

303 is known for superior products.
Amazingly effective.
It's all been said! Great for dashboards and other trim exposed to the sun and UV rays, as well as engine bay!
Other interior surfaces like buttons/radio/gauges I prefer to use Meguiars Interior QD (also awesome stuff).

Love this product. Simple, easy to use, and looks great. Great for convertible tops.
Like everyone else has said, buy it. Great finish and not greasy or overly shiny. I use this product on many different surfaces.
Was recommended for my hot tub cover. Quick and easy to apply.
303 aerospace protectant is not just another liquid tire and vinyl dressing. This is a reformulation with out dimethyl silicone a product known to case staining of fiberglass aero parts on cars and kill OBD 1 & 2 sensors that monitor the emission system.It should be used liberal however around any emission control parts in the engine compartment. Its great on door seals even house showers. Do you want more proof ask why it is sold at camping supply stores to coat rubber rafts and other various items. Ask a trucker who drives o degree weather aand has to depend on certain rubber parts not to freeze and become brittle.
Would I buy this again. In a heart Beat. Thee number one rated vinyl and rubber protectant for all automotive and camping use You can also use it on you windshield wiper blades to keep them clean and working in proper order. I am sure the military also has uses for its extreme use 10 stars!!!

GREAT STUFF, just use sparingly and it is amazing
Simple wowo product and keeps interior/engine bay and trim nice and clean
Yeah this the stuff for almost anything. Thinking of putting it my bath water.
I saw that 100% of reviewers said they would buy this product again but yet I was skeptical that I would set my sights too high. Wrong! This stuff is incredible and my next order will contain a big jug of this stuff. I'll never be without it again.
hey folks...did you notice that there are no negative reviews? the power of the detailing public has spoken..there is no better indicator!
When i was detailing-uneducated, I used to use armor all for many interior tasks. Now I use a good interior cleaner followed by 303 protectant and I find it looks just as good (if not better), but without the greasy feel. So far it is lasting longer than armor all and I use it many other surfaces/materials. This is a staple in my cleaning aresenal now.
This stuff Made my entire 21 y/o interior (Dash, door panels, etc...) look new again....I'm definitely gonna order this product again...next time in a larger size.
Used this product on 14-year-old bumper and door moldings making them look new once again.
A great product in all respects, be it on plastic or leather. Works great to keep black dashboards dust free. Renews black trim that looks "grayish". Also works great to quiet down interior squeaks between plastic panels.
All-around excellent product that truly restores the facotry new finish! Highly recommended! Thanks DI for another great product!
Stuff holds its weight among protectant products. I used hand in hand with Fade 2 Black, and boy does each piece really shine, it stays clean for a good while too!!
This stuff delivers as promised. Using it on tires, interior, trim. Sure glad I bought a gallon!
Fanstatic product. Amazing on fiberglass. I used it on a black 1988 boat that had never been wax, it restored the color to a like new finish.
If you dont have it, you should...I use this on not only my vehicles but friends and family too just because I feel bad that they don't have any. Very good product. Must have for everyone, hands down.
Hands down one of the best all around detail products. I love its versatility and not only that...The product does what it says!
I originally bought this just for my corvettes and camaros. It worked so well I bought a gallon and now use it on all my vehicles. After I'm done with the interior I'll take the rag and wipe it over the tires it works perfect on them also.
Best interior product I used in a long time. Not only protects but gives just the right amount of shine and most of all, it lasts.
I think the product is great, however it seemed to leave a bit too much of a treated look than I would have preferred. On the exterior though, it is great.
This is a fantastic product. I have used this on an Acura TL's interior products which are notorious for a chalky/dry look. It leaves a uniform shine without being too glossy or greasy and attracts practically no dust.
Love this stuff! Why I did not buy this by the gallon is beyond me; I will not make that mistake again. I've never used anything like this before! Awesome product!!
A very nice, easy to apply interior spray. I like how well it blends into the dash...unlike an armor-all type of spray which is very oily and is a pain to make it look even. This product spreads super evenly and leaves behind a very nice finish.
Great on tires, I like the fact that it protects my tires from the sun and makes them look nice and black, not too shiny! Hands down the best interior protection and cleaner I've used...I use it on my F-250, my wife's new Traverse and my Corvette.
Best interior protectant/dressing product that I have ever used for a car's interior. Read a lot of good things about this product, so decided to give it a try - glad I did, as I cannot imagine using anything else now. Used it on vinyl, leather, rubber, and plastic in my car; brings out a 'richness' in anything it is applied to. Not shiny, but a nice deep color. Excellent product. Can't go wrong buying this.
I buy 303 Protectant by the gallon now. It makes the car's dash, doors, seats, rubber moldings, plastic look like they have been extremely well taken care of. It does not look too shiny or greasy. I use it on every car I detail including cars in excess of 100k in value. This is a miracle product that has never failed to impress the car's owner. (I do not tell the customer what I use. I just let them enjoy the finished product while I take all of the credit)
Bought this after reading several reviews, they were right. 303 Protectant left a very natural look, almost no sheen, on my interior, Just what I was looking for. Worked great on the plastic surfaces and on my leather seats, although it did make my seats feel just slightly slick, but not really noticeable. After 2 weeks, interior is still dust free. Great product!
I love this, it leaves a factory finish and doesnt attract any dust.
303 can be used on every part of a car's interior. It leaves the dash, vinyl, leather, rubber, plastic looking very well preserved without a greasy or too shiny appearance. I use it on every customer's car from low end to over $70k in value and this product never ever fails.
I love this product.. it works well on all types of surfaces. Definitely something to bulk up on
So today I got to try out the 303 protectant I used the p21s auto wash to clean the engine directly sprayed on cleaned up pretty nice and removed oil spills. I went and sprayed 303 protectant once engine dried sprayed sparingly and wiped end results looks brand new. The owner said his engine looked brand new again. Thanks D.I.
This stuff is amazing. Hands down the best interior product I have ever used.
Good stuff, great protection... a bit thin and tricky to apply evenly on exterior trim.
Works great and seems to last long compared to other products.
Very versatile. Works great in the engine bay, as well as on rubber seals and the dash. This just drives the nails into the Armor-All coffin, in my opinion.
303 gives the car a very nice fresh factory appearance. Its the best product I have used on interior trim and gives it a nice satin natural look. It repels dust very well and after having it applied for a week, there is little to no dust on the dash board. I left a spot without any 303 on the dash to compare and the 303 is by far less dusty. So not only do you get the UV protection, you also get a nice factory satin finish that is NOT oily, and you get a product that repels dust to keep that dash looking like it has been recently wiped down even after a weeks worth of driving. Excellent Product and I will only be using this from now on.
Returns exterior trim to brand new look. Love the matte look it gives to plastic.
Wow, two thumbs up, this is a must for interior care, absolutely perfect for stuff you dont want to be too shiny.
I'm buying the gallon size next time.

the only stuff I use on the interior of my cars. not shiny, does not attract dust, no greasy feeling and the protection lasts. apply with a simple foam pad and just keep spreading around. dries fast to a clean, like new, excellent matte finish. do each car twice a year only because I am picky and want extra protection for summer and winter...probably not necessary. prefer this over Vinylex which was my go to...great stuff.
Simply the best...
A necessary item for car detailing. Try it and you won't use the competition again.
I truly can see why it's so popular and it was recommended to me as being the best, because it is the best.
I bought four different cleaners/protectors over that last several weeks. After trying them all out, this is hands down the best. I use it on the interior, for the exterior trim, and in the engine bay. I gave everything else to my little brother (he doesn't know any better).

This product is amazing! It was recommended to me by the guy who owned my 88 Mustang GT Convertible before me. He said he used it on the top every 3-4 weeks. Not only does this stuff make the top look brand new it also protects it from very harmful UV Rays. I not only use this stuff on my convertible top, I also use it on my interior and on my tires. It has SO many uses that you will find yourself using it on everything. It shines things up and also protects everything from being baked. I HIGHLY recommend using this stuff on your car and should be on the shelf of every home.
