303 aerospace protectant

Product Information

Note: this product does not air dry. Extra buffing with a dry cloth INCREASES bonding, repellency & longevity. Apply every 3-5 weeks for maximum UV protection.

Kris & Tim: I can definitely relate to both of those characteristics and fully agree. It works a lot better than a lot of products out there, and just simply better than the rest :). UV Protection Aerospace Protectant 303 protectant increases the life of your wing, reduces UV induced fade* and lowers fabric porosity. 303 also reduces drag and repels water and dirt. Suitable for Dacron, Porcher, Gelvenor, Carrington and similar fabrics used in microlight, hang glider and paraglider wings. Safe to use and easy to apply, simply spray on and wipe off. Treats approx 150sq/ft per 8oz bottle. 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. 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.Second, 303 AP has various uses around the vehicle. As noted in the description above, it can protect anything from tires, to exterior trim, to interior leather, and so on. It’s just as easy to use on one as it is on another part of the vehicle and does a great job no matter what it protects. Also, it never leaves a glossy/oily surface that detracts from the cleanliness of the car or car part. The finish is matte and clean looking. 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. But that's not all. 303 Aerospace Protectant also has remarkable anti-static properties. Have you ever noticed how dust and dirt seem to magically cling to certain surfaces? Well, that's because those surfaces have a static charge that attracts particles. However, with 303 Aerospace Protectant, this is no longer a problem. The anti-static properties of this protectant repel dust and dirt, keeping surfaces cleaner for longer. Say goodbye to constantly dusting and cleaning your surfaces!

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.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. 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.

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. Once you have completed the application process, allow the surface to dry completely. Avoid exposing the treated area to water or moisture for at least 24 hours to allow the protectant to fully cure and provide long-lasting protection.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? Occasionally you may need to return an item which you have received, if you are not satisfied with your item you can return the item to uswithin 14 daysof receipt. 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. Great for use on a variety of surfaces such as: vinyl, leather, plastics, synthetic & natural rubber, PVC, gel coat & fibreglass. 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

Originally engineered for aerospace and aviation applications, 303 Aerospace Protectant has found its way into millions of homes for day-to-day use on vehicles, sports equipment, patio furniture accessories and more. Now that we've covered the science, let's dive into the practical benefits of incorporating 303 Aerospace Protectant into your maintenance routine. So test it yourself. You can evaporate all the water out of Aerospace 303 and Armor All. Considering there's no other active ingredient it's easy enough to conclude, you're paying for water with Aerospace 303. As you can see in the photo below, the trim piece is showing its 18 years and 237,000 miles by sporting a beat up, gray and defeated look… I haven't had too much experience with Vinylex. I find it's too overpriced, though not as bad as Aerospace 303. The thing that gets me is you don't know the concentration of silicones. So my problem would be risking buying something at double the price of Armor All and not knowing what concentration you're getting.

303 Aerospace Protectant

When it comes to cleaning surfaces treated with 303 Aerospace Protectant, use a mild soap or detergent and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or brushes, as these may damage the protective layer. Regular cleaning, along with the protectant's abilities, will keep your surfaces looking pristine for years to come. Aerospace Protectant repels water and dirt, and resists stains. Treated surfaces require less cleaning and will remain in like-new condition. It restores the original finish to vinyl, rubber, plastic, acrylic, finished leather, and fibreglass. 303 is never oily or greasy. Start by shaking the bottle of 303 Aerospace Protectant well to ensure proper mixing of the formula. This step is crucial as it helps to activate the ingredients and ensures an even distribution of the protectant. As the name would suggest, Aerospace 303 was – along with other products from the Aerospace brand – designed for use on aircraft and the like. However, it’s not available to those of us more grounded, and it’s become extremely popular as a result. A water-based protectant, Aerospace 303 is a simple spray on/wipe off liquid that can be used on hard plastics and rubber to clean them, to give them a rich shine and that also offers a decent level of UV protection. That’s particularly useful when it comes to delicate dashboards in older cars and the like. It’s got no silicon or oils in it, so there is no residue left behind, instead you’re left with a clean, matt finish. The only consideration is of course based around this being a chemical, so don’t use it in close spaces (open your windows) and try not to drink it or spray it in your eyes. Tempting, but don’t, okay?
