303's great. I use it on my dash and tires. Surfaces look like new.... not shiney. Folks with convertibles and leather interiors (well, maybe on a convertible they don't call it an interior 
) often alternative applications of 303 and their favorite leather protectant. Provides UV protection for the leather. I also spray it on my CV boots when doing oil changes.
Use their site's retailer search:

Got mine at Ace Hardware. Good luck.

Is there any appreciable difference in silicon greases? I've used "Gunk Plumber's Silicon Grease" for years with excellent results. A 14 gm. plastic "tin" sells for about 79 cents at home improvement centers.
I just received my gallon + 16oz spray bottle a few days ago. To boot they give you a free T-Shirt too and it's pretty cool. Has some classic cars on it. A 50s Buick and Chevy and a late 40's Cadillac. Hot Rod too but I don't know what it is.
I have and use 'Gummi Pfledge' from the BMW Dealer for weather stripping. I also use it as assembly lube for Orings. It comes in a tube with sponge applicator, and less than 1/4 tube has treated my (98camry)car's weather stripping twice, wifes protege once and my other camry once.
Try using a sponge applicator instead of spraying, I think that there will reduce waste from over spray.

Is 303 the safest interior viny and plastic shine around?
Im absolutely fearful of armor all products...although I had to use them.
One i used this detailer quality stuff 20.00for 12 ounces...it had a wonderdful smell and the stuff was amazing.
I just have no idea where to find it or its name.
It came in a high quality squirt head and grey bottle

I use Black Magic tire shine stuff .
303 Aerospace Protectant reads at various sites and reviews as good stuff. Could not find a single negative comment..... well, a few comments about the price but the stuff does go a long ways.
My local Ace hardware store carries the 16 ounce bottle for... what? 11 bucks and change? A decent price but the gallon jug IS the way to go. I found a couple Web sites with the gallong available in the 40-plus dollar range and shipping wasn't bad.
When my current spray bottle is empty I'll be grabbing the gallon jug.
Been using the 303 on my vinyl seats, plastic interior pieces, weather stripping and rubber seals, decorative black and grey plastic trim pieces, the parts of the grill that are plastic, plastic decorative black bumper trim, etc.
The appearance is improved and dirt and bugs come off easier than when not using 303. The black trim pieces especially are darkened, making them look like new. The parts are not "dyed" by the product. I'm not sure why those parts take on a darker newer look but they do.
In the interior I have noticed that dust does not cling to the plastic parts like it did before using 303. Much of the dust that settles now is removed with a quick wipe of either a damp or dry cloth. The interior IS easier to clean now.
If those parts are also protected from the sun's rays as 303 claims that is "icing on the cake."
I also treated the plastic and some rubber parts under the hood. I noticed that dust and dirt come off quickly and the parts look newer now.
Good stuff. I think I'll keep using it!!!!!

Whoa. This may be exactly what I'm looking for. So is this a direct replacement for Armor-All type stuff?
If you use Armor all or similiar products on your weatherstrips they will very quickly crack and disinegrate! Never use silicone products as the others have warned.
Now - Krytox is awesome but expensive. I can get Krytox for free so I use it, but I have also used Dielectric grease - which is also what GM says to use. When I was using silicone protectants on my Corvette, I had replaced the strips 2x...since using Krytox they have not needed replacement yet and are great looking and pliable.

DUH!, Alan - I hadn't even thought about that. You are correct - but for some reason that is recommended and does work. I do know that rubber protectants are poor choices, however. Maybe the other ingredients in die-grease are what works and other ingredients in rubber care products don't. I don't know...so I use Krytox.
....and after it rains, are there any of these products that do not run down the glass and leave streaks?
Has anyone used this product on weather stripping/rubber/vinyl parts?
