Impressed with 303 Protectant on tires

I can't speak of other Collinite waxes, but their #915 doesn't chalk at all on anything I've used it on. Neither does ReJex or Sonax Net Shield.

And I've applied that stuff to material that I'd tape off if I was using any another product.

Only minor downside is the smell before it dries....


+1 I buy it by the gallon!

There is nothing in 303 that would turn tires brown.

But it does. Everything does. I've decided to just clean with bleach white and skip a coating.

Been getting 303 via Amazon. I don't use it on tires- I use "No Touch" on the tires but I don't spray it directly on. I spray on a sponge then wipe it on.
303 main use is vehicle interior - then some for misc. things like generator, kayak's etc.

303 is water based. Tires turn brown as they breakdown over time from UV rays. At some point any form of dressing will "bring out" the brown. Using something like Bleach White just cleans the tire and removes tire dressing. I have been using 303 on my Hot Rod tires which are mostly in the garage and in over 10 years NO tires of any brand have ever had the brown issue. Meguiars makes some good tire dressing for cars outdoors which last much longer and I have not seen it make tires brown.
