303 Fabric Guard

Came across the 303 line of products on this forum. I've read the Protectant is great, and I'll begin using that on my hard tonneau cover, but can't find anything on the Fabric Guard. Anyone have opinions, good or bad, about this? I have a 16 Tacoma DCSB with the fabric interior, two young grandkids and need some protection for the back seats.

 

The 303 protectant is awesome. Think of it as a maintenance product and not a "sealer". People complain that it doesn't last long and it runs off in the rain. I've not had this problem. I guess I think of it more like suntan lotion. Reapply after swimming. When used in this manner, there's nothing better in my opinion. It's certainly not all gonna wash off in the rain, and it should easily get you through until your next detail.

On the interior it does last a long time for sure (ex. On the dash, interior plastics, etc). I love it on my dash.

I Haven't tried the fabric spray- but I imagine it works kinda like scotch guard? Can't hurt to give it a try.

 

FYI I also use the protectant on hard plastic surfaces of my patio furniture. Works great for this and things seem much easier to keep clean by simply rinsing them off with a hose. Dust just doesn't stick as much and it resists fading.

I also use it on my truck bed rails, mud flaps, floor mats, rear bumper plastics, door handles, window trim. The list goes on.

 

It's great! I immediately put in on my new 3rd gen seats and carpet. No discoloration and liquids bead up like magic! Yield the warning label though. It's says use in well ventilated area and all I did was open the garage door. I got HIGH AF! and pretty sure I'm gonna die a few days earlier now but it works great!

 

Do you just mist it on and let it dry?

 

Yes just spray it on. No rubbing or buffing. Use a towel to keep it off things like your console and dash. It will make a film on plastic surfaces. I believe the instructions say to buff into an area like under the seat and see if the white towel turns the color of your interior to check for color bleed. No bleed for me.

 

Great posts. All good to know - Thanks

 

Just used the Protectant and wow is that stuff legit. Good to hear the fabric one works. Does the cleaner work just as good at these two products?

I have been reluctant to use anything on my tires because it seems most products only dry out the tires. I also have black wheels and the black side of the tire showing and didn't want a shinny tire, the protectant work perfectly, not to shinny.
