Hello all,
Due to seeing that some folks had used 303 Aerospace Protectant on their Sy/Ty cladding, I gave it a try.
I bought it from an Ebay marine parts and accessories dealer because it was a lot less expensive than buying it locally.
A couple of pointers I wanted to pass along:
1. The biggest hurdle is to not use too much of it!
It's amazing how little product it takes to do all the cladding.
I bought a 32 oz. spray bottle and I have a feeling that's gonna last a LONG time!
2. It does NOT air dry. You apply then go back and buff it "dry". I used a couple old inside-out tube socks for both. They work awesome.
3. Don't get frustrated with the first application. It can be trying. The second time? It'll be a cakewalk.
"GOOD":
In my opinion? The color of the plastic after application is PERFECT.
Not "Armor All shiny" or flat. It really looks great.
A close second is it does not leave an oily residue (like a lot of plastic treatments)! :tup:
So every dust particle doesn't cling to it.
Once you get the application process down, it's easy.
"BAD":
The only true "disappointment" was I was expecting a product that might not require treatment every wash. This is NOT.
First wash after first application? Most, if not all, washed off.
Oh well. More "quality time" with the truck, I guess. :lol:
