303 aerospace protectant instead of wax?

[widowmaker]

I've used the 303 aerospace protectant on the vinyl for years with great results but I read it can also be used on gel coated fiberglass.

Has anyone tried this? It sounds easier than waxing and rubbing it out.

There are great products for protecting Stainless Steel, Vinyl, Carpet, Painted surfaces, Fiberglass but it is rare that any one product works well on two or more surfaces.

I would use a product specific to waxing/sealing/polishing your fiberglass. Many different wax/polish/sealants have been discussed on this Forum and I cannot recall anyone favoring 303 for fiberglass. Many love 303 for vinyl including me.

I was wondering if anyone tried this since Widowmaker posted it back in december.

looks like we are still in the experimenting phase! I might give it a try on the topside!

A friend used it on his boat - it was an 87 Sea Ray that had some Burgundy gelcoat. My take and observations is that it looked good for a short period and may have helped minimize some oxidation from UV - but it really made more of a good detailer than a long term solution.

303 and Exhaust Smoke

I use 303 on my rubber dink. The dink is on my swim platform and gets alot of diesel exhaust exposure. My cummins do not smoke much at all, just the typical.

The 303 picks up diesel exhaust like a magnet. Its good stuff, but I'm head scratching now on how to get it off Hyplon to clean up the dink.
