Default Tried my 303 samples today..

The ones that it's a little foam pad soaked in the stuff. Goes on fairly easily, rubs off fairly easily as well.

It's impossible (using the sample pad) to not get some on the car and the windows. It rubbed off both pretty easily, and I can easily clean the windows.

As far as the car, I pulled out my quick detailer, sprayed my rag, went over the spots on the car that got touched, and said "ok, works for me"

The contact time of the 303 on the paint was probably no more than 2 or 3 minutes. Is there anything in it that could eat away the wax on the car in that time that it would be worth re-waxing?

Default I don't think it hurts the wax - that stuff seems to be fairly benign.

The only place I wish I hadn't gotten it was on my dashboard. I keep wiping it down with damp cloth, but it still is more shiny than stock and I am not happy with the result

Default today it appears as if the 303 has soaked into the rubber window trim..

It's very spotty and streaked now.. Is that normal for the first application or two? I don't have a bottle of the stuff, just the samples I used, so I'll have to live with it until my bottle arrives.

Default Try buffing it. It should take on the look of new (not shiny) rubber.

This is true on tires too - I usually apply it and then come back later with a piece of terrycloth to buff it down.

Default

I used 303 on my rubber trim and it didn't streak at all.
