303 aerospace protectant

Product Information

Silicon by nature absorbs the UV. You don't need to add other types of UV protectant because it's the silicone that does the UV protection. You can buy 100% silicone spray, electricians use it to protect electrical equipment from UV too and is also used by people to protect rubber seals, same as your everyday protectants like Armor All. Take your time when cleaning to ensure that all dirt and grime are removed. Pay attention to hard-to-reach areas and crevices where dirt can accumulate. Use a soft-bristle brush or a toothbrush to gently scrub away any stubborn stains.

But the active ingredient is PDMS, that's the actual protectant that does all the UV protection. Aerospace 303 isn't anything special, what they've managed to do is convince people to pay a lot of money for essentially watered down Armor All. I'm not making this up either. The amount of plasticizer is to keep the various seals all nice and soft, but that might not be the best idea for hard vinyl plastics as rubber seals benefit from extra softening conditioners and plasticizers, hard vinyl might be a little more unpredicatble what kind of reactions will take place. But if you're looking for a pure inexpensive substitute with the same characteristics as DOT 5, simply use the 100% water free silicone-based tire shine sprays. It'll cost you less than DOT 5 brake fluid and will be 100% safe for plastics. It will offer the most UV protection and will most definitely last the longest and will fog the inside of your windshield the least because it has no surfactants.Remember to reapply 303 Aerospace Protectant periodically to maintain the protective coating. The frequency of reapplication will depend on various factors such as weather conditions, exposure to sunlight, and usage. Gummi fledge is also very good and i use this also aswell as zymol vinyl although the name is misleading. Aerospace Protectant repels water and dirt, and resists stains. Treated surfaces require less cleaning and will remain in like-new condition. It restores the original finish to vinyl, rubber, plastic, acrylic, finished leather, and fibreglass. 303 is never oily or greasy. Once you have completed the application process, allow the surface to dry completely. Avoid exposing the treated area to water or moisture for at least 24 hours to allow the protectant to fully cure and provide long-lasting protection.

Convertible tops, soft tops, boat enclosures, tonneau covers, vinyl caravan awnings…these are just a few of the places that benefit from this protectant that contains an SPF 40 sunscreen.

So my suggestion is simply get Armor All and water it down 5 to 1, you'll get the protection of Aerospace 303 and it'll really stretch it out to be more economical than even mineral oil. And will actually protect plastics, mineral oil won't.
