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.

Not sure what your talking about its totaly different then armoral i use it on my car also. Its not greasey it doesnt have the crazy gloss shine that blinds you when the sun hits it. and it doesnt smell hardly.

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..
