AP 303! Amazing.....

I tried Aerospace Protectant today and all i can say is....WOW...My whole car was dirty so i thought i clean it up...I was given a tip by many people that the best way to clean dashboard was to mix the carwash soap with water, that worked some times..although the next day i saw lot of dust..lol.
but the AP worked great!. It's like the Zaino version of interior.aha..

I will make sure to go to Canadian tire to buy more few bottles for the winter. How often can you apply AP? Instead of using Leather cleaner from Zaino can i use AP from now on and than apply the leather conditional.
I just had problems cleaning the vents, maybe i should buy a paint brush...

I'm guesing i could use AP on my Matts
Any tips?

I first learned about 303 protectant with my boat and I have never bought Armorall or anything else since. It is great stuff and it doesn't dry things out like the silicone in AA does. I don't use it on my leather though. I love the smell of Zaino leather in a bottle too much to give it up. Z-10 makes my car smell continually new (although I can't keep the dog away from my hands after I use it)

Although Zaino's Z10, is a leather conditioner, it works just as well on plastics and vinyl, leaving a dry to the touch matte finish.

Meguiar's #40 is another good interior protectant (has slight cleaning properties).

Someone told you to use car shampoo in the interior? I guess I can't see why it wouldn't work....but I've never heard that before.

Remember that 303 doesn't have any cleaning properties...its strictly a protectant and finish. So you will still need some sort of cleaner for tough spots.

^ I use 303 on my seats as well. I wouldn't use anything else than 303 on my interior.

Hey,
Thanks for the reply guys, i was thinking maybe 303 also cleans the area....in that case should i just wipe the dust off the dash etc or what do you recommend i should use to clean the dash before i apply 303.

Classy! Quite frankly, I would prefer you left me messages via PM rather than publicly post misinformation.

On another note, I go over all my customer's cars inch by inch after a detail to make sure everything is set and alright, so as to not have to come back to a job, especially when its a county away. I don't remember any tape residue on the body lines and surely don't remember you noticing any either while I went over your paint infront of you, inch by inch, with a XENON SPOTLIGHT.

Thanks for your post, I'm sure all seven of them have been as helpful as this one.
