Been reading how good the 303 is and ordered some. Question to those who have used long term, what areas do you all use it on? What areas don't use it on? Thx in advance.

I had that once and forgot where I got it from but I used it on the plastic molding's and tires. The stuff was outrageous, but I could never find it in any store. Evidently though you found it. Good Stuff.
I have heard across the forum that you can buy it from boat shops. Heard good things about it, plan to use it on my black trim.... whenever I wash my TH!!
Dang it that is where I had gotten it from. Had a 21.5 foot Aqua Sport down in Florida but sold it back in 2000. Can't believe I actually still had it with all my car stuff this whole time. Go figure.
I never used 303 before but heard nothing but good stuff about it. I just went on amazon right now and its $13... before I checked out, total summed up to $24. shipping costs more than the product. gotta find another place to purchase it from.
$24(total) - $13(product) = $11(shipping)
$11(shipping) > $13(product)
...sorry my OCD math brain kicked in
But I get your point...I'm in Canada, most things (if we can get them) get grossly over-priced thanks to international shipping + customs charges

Since I don't think anyone in this thread actually answered your questions, I'll take a stab at it. I've used 303 for 10 years now and been extremely happy.
In short, you can use it just about everywhere but on glass and carpet/fabric (303 makes a fabric cleaning and also a protecting product that works great).
Put it on all dash plastics, vinyl, rubber, and leather. I use it on my door seals to keep them from cracking and freezing in the winter, rubber hoses under the hood, plastic exterior trim. It can even be used as a paint protectant. You can also use it on the headlight plastics to prevent yellowing and clouding over time (UV breakdown of the plastic).

@ekmeister.... That is exactly what I was asking. Especially re: headlights and the stitching. I figured someone could provide long term use feedback. TYVM !!!!
Armor what, who? Had this 303 buried in my car stuff for 14 years. Used it and it was still awesome. That Armor stuff is like a McDonald's burger, if you want the real thing go to White Castle......................LMAO! Gotta love those belly bottom's.
Supposedly silicone will, over a period of time, actually cause rubber/vinyl to dry out, crack and discolor.
303 is silicone free. It preserves and protects with a natural finish (not greasy and glossy).

I bought 303 locally here from a Marine store as it is made to protect marine equipment (boats and such). It does what it says, and it does it well. It has kept my tires looking black for weeks, even through the rain. I use it on my interior, dash, console, everywhere.
Its like sunscreen for your car! Use it now and you won't have to worry about the center console material cracking 5 years down the road.

As someone said, you can find this at many boating supply stores. I use it on my boat (and have for a number of years. I purchase from West Marine store near me, but here is a link to their website where you can also buy it: http://www.westmarine.com/buy/303-products--aerospace-protectant--P004_129_002_506

This 303 stuff is the best. Found it at West Marine, bought it, applied it and WOW.
Not greasy, not shiny, just looks like new.
I only used it on the inside so far cause it was starting to sprinkle rain, but I can tell I'll be spending a lot of time on all the exterior black surfaces as soon as I can.
Great stuff.

Aerospace 303 protectant - GREAT! but....
I purchased a gallon of this stuff. Dumped out a ArmorAll bottle, poured this stuff in and went to town.
I have done the entire outside of my vehicle. It looks FANTASTIC!
Ill update on durability in a week or two.I will say a couple things.
1) This stuff actually looks MUCH cleaner than ArmorAll. It doesnt leave that shiny plastic look. And it doesnt attract dirt. It also smells much less chemically than Armor All.
2) Speaking of chemicals however, we did have a "discussion" after this stuff showed up. It comes in a box wrapped in a plastic bag. First thing my wife did was read the back of the container. It says its been tested and proven to cause Cancer in mice in California (**** CALIFORNIANS!). Anyway, spent the next hour hearing how my son couldnt help me apply this stuff because he wants to have kids someday.
3) This is also making me question whether to use this on the inside of my vehicle.

I used 303 on the interior of my TH last week. I don’t think I will go to any other product ever again. Just be sure to apply it in an area where you can see potential missed spots. Since the product doesn’t air dry is sometimes gave me the illusion that I covered a whole area then when in direct sunlight I clearly did not. While I think a gallon is slightly overkill lol. One bottle should last for a while since reapplication is every 3 weeks I believe.
I just ordered a 950ml bottle on Amazon for 18$. I'll try it on the car while I wait for my TH.
