    I am a fan of most 303 products and was wondering if anyone has tried using the 303 Aerospace Protectant in lieu of wax for detailing your boat ?? It is advertised as being superior to waxing but before I dive into 44' worth of elbow grease I want to see if anyone has given it a try......Thanks

    Nothng replaces an actual wax or sealant. The 303 will be gone after the first rain and streaky everywhere.

    I use rejex and it really is quite simple to put on and get off, that is only if the gel coat is in nice shape to begin with. Otherwise she will need a compound.

    Have you tried the 303 ?? Why should it streak ?? I appreciate the input before I waste my time and old tired muscles putting on a product that may not do the job. I was just trying to save a couple of thousand $$ and do it myself.......

    Hi,

    Type "What is a 303 Wax" into Google, after you have read all the comments about this make up your own mind.

    303 is a product like armor all. I use it on my seats and vinyl all over the boat and it is the best stuff I've used.

    This of it like spraying armor all on your Fiberglass.
