    Satoshi, debadged, rear view mirror bracket, tail gate hose clamps, trimmed mud flaps.
    Don't use it on any clothe type material.

    Use for anything plastic/rubber/vinyl, including headlights, tires, dash, door handles, mud flaps, satohi lip, window striping, bed caps, bumper covers, mirror housing (not the actual mirror). Make sure to wipe completetly dry immediately after you apply it.

    Also, another great plastic protectant is Plexus. Works great for M/C helmets, wind visors, and headlights.

    I don't know what the material on the doors is in a '16, but 303 does make "fabric guard" that works really well

    For the fabric doors I used Scotch guard... They make an automotive one that I picked up at Advanced Auto the other day for I think 6.99. I think it has a pic of a car seat and floor matts on the bottle in beige.
    Had a few professional auto detailers tell me that for the money it is really good stuff. I plan to re-spray the interior (seats/carpets,doors) about every 6 mo. just to make sure it doesn't wear off.

    Sounds like a great product, but wondering how many car washes can it withstand before reapplying? Thanks.

    This guy wrote an exhaustive article on detailing a 2G Tacoma and that's where I learned about 303. I won't be going crazy like that, but there's some great tips and products in there.

    He recommends something called Rejex for headlights. I've ordered some on Amazon and will try it out. Looks like its good for paint as well, according to amazon.

    Pretty sure they're the same thing, just marketed to different uses. http://www.goldeagle.com/brands/303-products
    Edit: The product descriptions/faqs for each on the above link are exactly the same.

    I think just the age of the bottle. The "Aerospace" was on the old labels I believe.
