Do you guys put it (303)on as a preventative as well? Not sure if I should spray and wipe now or wait until I have a reason to??

303 makes several products. I belive what most people are referring to is their Aerospace Protectant. It is basically like sunscreen for your vinyl. Spray in on, rub it in lightly, and let it dry. It's used as prevention. I haven't used their vinyl cleaner. Only the aerospace protectant.

That is what I have, but haven't used it yet. Thanks for the advice.

303 protectant seems to be a great product. The 303 cleaner, though, is pretty useless. I would buy the protectant again, but I would not pay a dime for their cleaner.

I've been using the Meguiars.

I put it on several times a year. These products clean, but also act as sunscreen for your seats. My seats are just as soft as they were when it left the showroom. Believe me, you can tell the people that don't use the correct products on their seats. They are cracked and dry rotted in less than 5 years.

looks like they may have had a price increase, don't remember paying that much for my gal.
much as I love Meguiars products the 303 is hard to beat at any price.
