    I had never heard of 303 Protectant until reading about it on TW. This stuff is awesome. Just applied it to the bed. Looks much better.

    303 is bar none my favorite detailing product. Doesn't leave surfaces slippery like armor all and protects better than anything else I have tried. Using the cleaner followed by the protectant gives pretty amazing results if the surface is dirty, but 99% of the time I just use the protectant.

    You can buy the stuff in gallon jugs and it is pretty affordable, which only leaves you with the challenge of finding a sprayer that is worth a damn.

    Definitely. I have never had a cracked dash in any car, including some that are 20+ years old that have never seen a garage.

    I did my entire interior yesterday including the leather seats. Looks great!

    The straps go the locks on the side of the tailgate. They click in where it would click in if you closed it.

    I use the 303 also and Lexol Vinylex on everything from my tonneau cover to tires and the interior of my truck. Both these products claim to have UV protection and so far it seems to work excellent here in the Brutal Florida Sun!. I've been using these products since 2001 when I purchased my first Taco.

    Not to get off topic but, I was wondering what you guys think the durability of the interior rubber on door panels and passenger dash may be. Not sure if I'd wear it down resting my arm there while driving over time. Looks good just haven't seen it in any other vehicles before.

    Anything rubber, plastic, fiberglass, vinyl it works better than anything I've used before. The owners manual for my trailer recommends it for the rubber roof and the gelcoat fiberglass body. $50/gallon and worth it.
