Yep. That is what I bought. I am beginning to suspect I got a bad bottle of it though. I went out to check the car this morning and all the panels I sprayed it on now are water-spotty and look like they haven't even been cleaned. It seemed like last night when I used it it would just bead up and roll off the panel. I really had to work it in with a rag, but it must have beaded up again last night and left little water spots everywhere. The panels feel like they have some sort of greasy wax on them. It's really weird. Like I said, at this point, I am beginning to suspect a bad batch of product or something. I can't see Meguiars making something like that.
Good interior detailing products??

For straight cleaning, it's pretty hard to beat Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner.
For preserving interiors, Einzsett Cockpit Premium is amazing stuff. Alternatively, 303 is brilliant too.
I also use Einzsett Gummipflege on the Rubber Seals to keep them in top shape

I recently started a new job with an autobody supply company and found out they sell Meguiar's professional products. I found in the store a gallon jug of Meguiar's #40 Vinyl and Rubber Protectant. I think the part # was MEG4001 or something like that. Looks like real good stuff and it is not spray on, it is applied to a rag and put on the surface- which I like much better than a spray. I think I'm going to buy a jug of that and also see if I can somehow get some of the Aerospace 303.
You guys talked me into trying the 303. Just tried it and I like how you can put on 500,000 coats of it and it still has the matte finish. I like it so far. I found it at ACE hardware.
I was using meg natural finish protectant before and the more coats you put on the shinier it gets so I only used one coat of the Meg. which likely gives less UV protection. The 303 claims to have exc. UV protection which is my #1 concern.

i love griots garage products expecially their interior cleaner
I found 303 at Eastern Mountain Sports in the mall but it's $16 for a little spray bottle! Supposedly a different local ACE hardware than the one I usually go to has the 303. I'm going to try and get over to check it out and see if their price is better. I may still grab a jug of that Meguiar's vinyl and rubber protectant though and see how that does.

You used the same product fro plastic AND leather? I have never heard of anyone successfully doing that before. I am d.am.n careful about what I put on leather.

FINALLY found some 303 Aerospace for a good price locally! $11.95 for a spray bottle. Bought the only 2 left on the shelf. I plan on spraying down my interiors tonight or tomorrow sometime.
I used the 303 on some of the Capri's interior last night and it worked really well. I like how it leaves it looking clean, but not greasy. It also wipes off glass if you get some on it. I'm sold on it. I will be interested to see how long it keeps my dash and console looking nice.

I've been using it on my gf's Corolla that we bought brand new in 2006 on the interior and the black exterior trim, and to this date they show no signs of fading. Usually the exterior trim doesn't take long to fade if you don't protect it.

Aerospace 303 is often available at ato upholstery shops. However often at higher prices. I use it mainly on interior, especially the dash and related to help prevent sun damage.
To update you all on my use of 303 Aerospace, the Capri and Mustang interiors still look great. I have not done any further applications, just a quick dust-off with a cloth. That stuff is amazing. Just bought a 99 Escort yesterday and plan on detailing it with 303. This product probably ranks in my top 10 most liked car products.
Know its a day late and dollar short.
I bought myself some Meguiars Quick Interior Detailer and I must say this stuff is fantastic. The plain old soap and water I have been using for the past 3 years left the interior of my '06 Jetta pretty dull for the most part. When I used the Meguiars for the first time it brought out the off the lot finish I was looking for. The smell is just a side perk. I have had trouble with getting the sheen off the vinyl "V-Tex" seats in my car but the Meguiars cut right through that and brought back the original matte finish of the seats.
The only downside is the Meguiars did not take out some of the stains in my "V-Tex".

I second the Meguires interior detailer, good stuff.
Aerospace 303 is freaking amazing! I used it on my TV and made it look brand new. Anything plastic, vinyl or rubber, you can use 303 on, even household stuff.
Woolite diluted 1:10 with water works great on leather and interior surfaces.
Try Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner (APC). It comes in a gallon and can be diluted 1:1 - 1:10 with water depending on application. Good stuff.
I agree with mkzman, Optimum Protectant is supposed to be great stuff also.
Good luck

I used the Meg Quik Interior detailer one time on my Bimmer and it re-rubberized the finish on my cup holder assy in the console!
It's been years since I used that stuff and the cup holder still feels rubbery to the touch. Can't say I recommend it - not for crazy German plastics anyway!
