Can someone tell me what the benefits are to using this 303 stuff instead of just a damp microfiber cloth?

303 is THE LEADER in UV Screening Technology. 303 Aerospace Protectant really is like "SPF 40 Sunscreen ... For Your Stuff." Regular use gives 100% Prevention of UV caused slow-fade with regular use. No other "protectant" beautifies as intensely, protects as powerfully or lasts as long.

The World's Most Manufacturer-Recommended Product:
Because of its enduring cosmetic properties, the resistance of 303-treated surfaces to dust, soiling, and staining, its water repellency and unparalleled protective characteristics, manufacturers worldwide recommend 303 Aerospace Protectant.

303 Aerospace Protectant keeps UV-sensitive materials "like new" year after year.

Use on Rubber: Tires, neoprene, latex, door and trunk seals, weather-stripping, EPDM rubber roofs, CV boots, waders, wet suits. Vinyl: Convertible tops (and the clear vinyl windows), isinglass, marine seating, tonneau covers, car bras, covers, spa covers, pool covers. Inflatable boats: Hypalon, PVC and urethane blends. Gelcoat fiberglass: Boats, RV's, snowmobiles, jet ski's.Plastics, acrylics, polycarbonates: Lexan® and acrylic panels, windows, , windshields, covers. Carbon-fiber/resin composites: Fishing rods, "nude" bike frames. Finished leather: Upholstery, motorcycle leather, trim, tack, fine apparel. Pool & Patio: Plastic furniture (not fabric), pool inflatables, slides, covers. Sailcloth: Dacron® and monofilm.

If you miss a spot with QID, its no big deal. If you miss a spot with 303 aero, it will be very noticeable. This is also a way to test how long it lasts for. by monitoring how long that spot you missed is visible.

In my opinion 303 offers a lot more looks and protection than QID. But if you the like matte finish, and dont feel like spending a ton of time with it, get the quik interior detailer from megs. used that on my truck today (crazy amount of pollen inside). But when I have the time I use 303

I use 303, but as a warning: Keep it away from the gauge cluster clear plastic, it will mess up the plastic. I had to polish mine out. If you google it, it's pretty common

New to interior cleaning, I happened to come across Chemical Guys VRP. For just dusting I have a microfiber cloth in my door bottle holder.

I've only used it once so far, but it makes the interior look very shiny and slick. It smells pretty good too. It's greasy if you don't wipe it off (you're supposed to but I forgot and was lazy). It's supposed to work for exterior too but it wipes away after rain so it's a no go.

I will have to give 303 a try.

Has anyone tried the Meguiar's Ultimate Protectant spray? Got some on sale recently. I stay away from any "shine" products.
