The new 303 Automotive Protectant, which was originally developed for aerospace and aviation uses, offers outstanding UV protection for all plastic, vinyl, and rubber surfaces in your car, including the wiper blades, dashboard, and also the tires. 303 Automotive Protectant dries to a clear matte finish without the sticky, shiny slick feeling that many protectants leave behind. Below, we will list which surfaces can 303 Protectant be used on.
In addition to guarding against fading, yellowing, and cracking caused by harmful UV radiation, 303 Automotive Protectant also deters dust and stains. For a gorgeous, matte finish, just spritz on and wipe dry. The best part is that one application can last for up to 30-45 days.
Can 303 Protectant Be Used On Leather?
Yes, 303 Protectant can be used on leather in most cars. However, it should not be used on unfinished leathers, such as suede.
The majority of cars with leather seats have a form of plastic coating on them. Because automobile leather is usually coated with a urethane coating, applying actual leather products on it is usually a waste of time and money. In reality, plastic is what they are actually cleaning. This is not to mean that one should use any old product on these kinds of leathers, nor is it to say that many people won’t continue to do so. In most cases, if you can scratch the seats with your fingernail and it doesn’t change color, it has been plastic-coated.
If you have a very high-end vehicle with unfinished leather seats, such as suede, then you should use a dedicated leather cleaner as per the manufacturers recommendations.
This being said, 303 does make a dedicated 3 in 1 leather product which helps to clean, condition, and protect leather.
