303 Aerospace or ArmorAll Original: Which Is Better?

[TomBrooklyn]

303 Aerospace Protectant or ArmorAll Original Formula: which is better for:

Interiors: Dashboard, Steering Wheel, Seats
Floors: (in a cargo van), mats
Exterior Plastic Trim: Grill, Rear View Mirror Housings
Door Seals and Gaskets
Tires
Other

Or are they both excellent for any of the above?

Sorry I stopped using ArmorAll about 20 yrs ago so I can't really give you a good/bad opinion.

As for 303 Aerospace Protectant I can. I use it for all the things you mentioned except floors in a cargo van as I have never done a VAN...LOL

It is a really excellent product!!

I'm in the same boat. However I don't like to put anything on the steering wheel since whatever I put eventually gets back on my hands later.

Agreed on the Steering wheel thing!! I would be slip sliding away if I tried to turn!!....LOL

I'd like to echo this also. I never put any kind of dressing or protectant on steering wheels. Same for all weather mats, brake pedals, and accelerators. All safety issues IMO.

As for the question, I would say 303. There are probably more durable solutions for exterior applications though (tires, trim, etc.). I mainly only use it on the interior and door seals.

Thanks for the responses and opinions so far. I didn't take offense to any. It sounds like 303 is everyone's favorite except for exterior uses.

Actually, I do know ArmorAll isn't so good on steering wheels because it makes them slippery.

I thought this was a joke at first. Kind of like,' "What's better, Fuzion, or Turtle Wax?"

Are there better cleaner waxes out there than Turtle Wax? I've been using Turtle Wax for five decades. I thought it was the oldest major car wax brand and the one that set the standard all the others aspired to. I never heard of Fuzion though.

use 303 on interior plastics only... It will run off in the rain...

It sounds like ArmorAll would be better on the plastic grill on my Ford Econoline Van. I wasn't sure if it would work good on that, as it's some kind of very smooth and hard plastic.

I'm fairly new here as well - a lot of great information on here, especially from people excited to try the latest and greatest detailing products; nothing wrong with that as I like testing new products as well, but I don't usually go for the really expensive niche products. Wolfgang Fuzion wax, for example, starts at $60 for 3 oz.

I haven't tested a ton of AIO products, or turtle cleaner wax for that matter, so I'll let others chime in if they have.

I have tried Optimum poli-seal by hand a few times and it seemed to work well. Optimum GPS is a similar, newer formula in a spray bottle that cleans a bit better I believe.

all in one polish, car polish wax, cleaner wax, best car wax polish, Klasse All In One, one step polish wax, AIO wax, AIO paint sealant


Some popular AIO on here that aren't too expensive:
Klasse AIO
Duragloss 105
Pinnacle xmt 360


On the other hand, if you are happy with turtle wax - no need to change anything.


Last thing I can think of right now - most all in one cleaner/polish/wax products don't have very long-lasting protection with some exceptions (I believe duragloss 105 protection lasts a good amount of time but I haven't used it). Most top an AIO with a non-cleaning wax or sealant for longer protection.
