    Aerospace 303 is the best that I have found. I've used it for years now. It basically repels the UVs that cause damage and fading to plastic and rubber parts. IMO It's well worth the cost.

    I use 303 as well. Keep in mind it's water based so it washes off each time you wash your truck or when it rains

    303 is better than armorall, but I'll gladly give you my bottle. It's only worthwhile on the interior, where rain can't get to it.

    Klasse Cleaner / Protectant a better call.

    303 > armor all. However there are better products than 303 for exterior if that’s what you need it for.

    Use it up on tires if you don't like it elsewhere. Gives a nice deep matte black look.

    I've used the Aerospace 303 for 10+ years on my hot tub cover in AZ and vehicles. It is still a little greasy on the interior but not as bad as Armor all. Actually I only use windex on the interior.

    My Dad uses Mink Oil paste on his tires when he shows his Corvette. That's actually the way to go for a deep rich look. After cleaning the tires, Just use the same cloth over and over.
