303 vs Hyper Dressing

[CleanIT]

Being they are all water-based too, including Sonus Motorkote, I will use which ever settles the best without fuss and that is Hyper-Dressing IMO.

Is 303 an apply and walk away product as with HD? Have not tried either one....Just curious.

It can be, but not nearly as much as HD is. With 303, I would get the engine very warm prior to applying it. I'd spray the engine down while the engine was warm/hot, and shut the hood. That helps it lay. HD just settles regardless of the engine temp.

Thanks sir. I assume this would be done on a dry engine? I've had a bottle of 303 for a couple of months but have not used it on anything as of yet.

No problem.

Well, with Hyper Dressing, you can apply it to a wet or dry engine, that's the beauty of it. A lot of folks spray the engine down while it's wet and let it settle. 303 the engine should be dry. The way I've always detailed engines was: 1. Wash 2. Dry 3 (leaf blower). Go for a drive to dry even further 4. Come back from drive and apply 303/Sonus to warm/hot engine and let settle.

That has always worked very well for me.

303's directions actually say to wipe it completely dry. Then again, on their website, 303 has an editorial on use, and when talking about using it on engine bays, they state that they just hosed it off. So, it appears to work OK either way.

303 works very well in engine bays and interiors.

I’ve been using 303 on engine bays and interiors and HD on tires. I’ve heard 303 can run when wet so I don’t use it on tires. I just mist the 303 over the engine bay and don’t bother to wipe off any excess and it always looks good. Maybe I’ll try HD on my next engine cleaning to see any difference.
