If it would work on paint, I would think that the manufacture would say so.

I see it in bold Red, Dengood1. Never heard of anyone using it on paint, but who knows it might just work. I use 303 for my dash and interior trim, but no way will it touch my paint.

says to use on all surfaces of your bike BUT the paint! Hmmm?

303 can be used on paint. I use it on door jams for a just waxed look after cleaning them with ONR. It is a nice combo. 303 has a ton of uses.

I've heard of customers using it on boats and some rv's but I've haven come accross using it on paint. The guy actually when ahead and tried it and sait it worked ok, I was just if anyone had been doing it for a while.
Here are some instructions from the 303
Basic Car Detailing

303 Aerospace Protectant will give your vehicle's paint job that "always wet look" for a superior shine.
Step 1. Strip the wax off your car as it's the wax, no matter what quality, that will gray or dull your car. Strip the surface down until you can squeak your fingers with it .. (by using a mild to semi-coarse compound depending on surface condition) it's then ready .
Step 2. Using a cleaner/swirl remover give a final preparation and let vehicle sit for a day or to let the oxidants evaporate.
Step 3. Using a soft terry cloth apply 303 Aerospace Protectant, enough to dampen the cloth. Do not spray directly to the paint. Only dampen the surface, do not over apply for best results. Never apply in direct sunlight.
Step 4. Buff surface with Dewalt variable speed polisher at 1500 to 1800 r.p.m. with a clean polishing pad, either yellow foam or white cloth. Using a flannel towel, buff any excess 303 Aerospace Protectant that may still remain. Repeat process approximately every 6 months.

If it didnt come from you Jason, I would have thought this was a big joke. Curious to see if anyone has tried it on this forum.

[richy]

Thanks Richy didnt know that. Been using AW on jams. Have you tried it on wheels? What about glass?

No I haven't. I use either xmt 360 on wheels or more often, dg 501/105 combo. Glass I either use IG or ONR.

I know the feeling. I guess I can always do a test on the wifes car.
:buffing:

[richy]

For sure I have read about 303 being used on paint (maybe from their website, I don't remember) but Jason's post seems very interesting. I just don't know about the longevity of it compared to a polymer sealant. I think I'll stick to what I'm doing on the outside paint. It does do a nice job on the door jams though..give it a try and let me know what you think.

If you do it you are a true AutoGeek. LOL
