Any one on here ever use the 303 products from Gold Eagle? Tell me the good and bad if you have used it.

I use it on my tonneau covers, all plastic, and on the tires. Lasts a few weeks, doesn't throw off the tires like that crap shiny stuff does. Gives it all a nice satin sheen. Negatives, I can't think of any. I've been using it for at least 14 years. It used to called "Aerospace 303". A tonneau dealer tipped me off on it.

Not sure I'm willing to give them the best product award but they are one of the better ones.

Can't think of any negatives unless you over pay.

Okay, can’t argue that, Auto geek.com loaded with better products. 303 great price point for car wash duty and interior wipe downs. I have a convertible that is going on 8 years old and the interior plastic still looks great and 303 is the only product used. Armor all etc long gone out of my arsenal.

I buy it by the gallon, use it on all interior panels, leaves a nice matte finish with uv protection without the greasy residue. I've never tried using it on any exterior parts, not sure how long it will hold up. I've also found it to work well on weathertechs liners, clean them well to remove all dirt, spray them down with the product then wipe down.

Just be sure you purchase the right product. They have versions for cloth, vinyl/plastic, etc.

I use it on our Solstice convertible top and love it's performance. I've begun using it on a pergola cloth and outdoor umbrellas now also.

I use the vinyl version on my soft tonneau on the F150 and love it's performance there too.

As mentioned, be careful with your over spray.

I like it also, I have been using it for several years. I use it instead of Armor All.

Just got a large size bottle from Amazon yesterday. Going to use it on my Access Roll up cover. I’m also interested in it’s claims to repel dust. I find that the hard plastic surfaces of the interior attract dust quite a bit.

Lol, the exterior is where 303 is meant to be used. its the best tire detailing product Ive ever used and all of my weatherstripping gets it too. I only use it on interior panels if I dilute it with water and use a towel dipped in the mixture and immediately wipe dry with a separate towel. Using it "straight out of the bottle" on interior panels was a disaster, its far too easy to make an uneven mess.
