Default 303 Aerospace Protectant = CRAP

I heard about 303 Aerospace Protectant and how it was supposed to be an awesome alternative to Armor-All for car interiors. I excitedly purchased a small bottle from 303's website in hopes that I could finally escape the bad smell, look, and greasiness of Armor-All. When it arrived today I headed right to the garage to try it out and quickly discovered IT IS THE EXACT SAME STUFF. I am so mad, I spent $12 on a second bottle of the stuff I'm trying to get rid of. I also can't believe I am the first person to notice this, it is blatantly obvious that the liquid in each bottle is identical and so are the effects on the interior: The awful shine, smell, spots, and grease buildup everywhere.

Save your money and just use water instead.

We've got to be talking about two different products, because what I bought is exactly like Armor All.

I dont know what everyone has problems with when doing interiors... lol. Mabye you guys glob it on and dont whipe it off properly. I use the free crap we give out at work to new and used car customers. Ill just grab a new box when im low and use all that stuff but mainly the car soap and interior detail spray, and free wash mit. Its some no-name crap but works great on my interior.

I think its user error, not product deffectiveness.

I've never been a big fan of the Armor All product. The glare was too much for me and the greasiness seemed to attract dust. I was told it was the silicon and it actually caused more harm in the long term. I've used this "vinyl and rubber" dressing from Griot's garage and I love it. It's not overly shiney and doesn't leave a film that clings to dust and fingerprints..
