303. Cleans and Protects? or just protects...

[Rez90]

I have a bottle of 1Z Cockpit premium and just was given a bottle of 303.

I've never used either. I typically used OTC stuff for the interiors...

Is 303 the be all end all interior products for cleaning and protection? or is it just a protective dressing that goes on after the surface is cleaned...

Thanks very much.

You would want to use CP then 303. 303 has no real cleaning ability.

sounds like a plan. Thanks.

I supposedly has a very light cleaner in it, but as offer is not a true cleaner but designed mostly as a protectant.

No prob. I've seen you over on Corvette forum car care. While that is a great forum, this is the place to be. :dblthumb2:

Its funny how after 8 years representing the corvetteforum, I still get PM's that they didnt know it exists.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but 303 Aerospace is the protectant while 303 Fabric and Vinyl is the concentrated APC cleaner (they offer diluted versions as well). I've used 303 Fabric and Vinyl and does a fairly good job cleaning my vinyl (MBTex) and carpets.

OP never specified which product line 303 he was mentioning...kinda like asking "is Optimum a cleaner or a wax...."

[ScottB]

you are indeed right that 303 offers many products, and we often all think of the protectant when it comes to mind. Kinda like Kleenex versus tissue.

From the 303 website about Aerospace 303:

Since 303 contains a tested-safe-for-vinyl cleaner and is a cleaner and protector combined, precleaners and precleaning usually are not required.

In short it's a combination product that does both. I've always used it that way and it has never failed to work correctly.
