What Makes 303 Aerospace Protectant Different from other Leading Brands?
303 Aerospace UV Protectant vs. all other Protectants
"Leading Brand" protectant products contain silicone oils giving them their oily, greasy, dirt attracting nature. Some even contain petroleum distillates (petrochemicals)!....which should never be used on rubber or vinyl and most other plastics.
Common automotive 'protectants' and 'tire dressings' are typically devoid of UV stabilizers of any type and offer little, negligable or no protection against other environmental degradants.
303 Aerospace Protectant does not contain silicone oils or petroleum distillates, or other agents unsafe for rubber, vinyl and other plastics.
"Leading Brand" protectants do not contain UV stabilizers. UV stabilizers counteract or neutralize the harmful effects of UV Light. They help prevent chalking, yellowing, fading, embrittlement of the surface they are protecting.
303 Aerospace Protectant contains UV stabilizers and is the most powerful UV screening product available. Periodic reapplications can reduce UV caused slow fade up to 100%. That's why it's called 'SPF 40 For your Stuff'! 303 is the World's Best Surface Treatment that consumers can buy and has been since 1980.
Other protectant products, including the "leading brands" are oily, greasy, attract dust/dirt, smear glass and chrome, are very short-lived and only offer cosmetic properties that wash off instantly.
303 Aerospace Protectant is not oily and greasy, will repel dust & soiling, leaves a rich and lusterous finish, will not wash off and lasts up to 10 times longer than any other `surface treatments'.
