This stuff claims to be better for fiberglass than wax. Any opinions or experiences would be appreciated. Very Happy

I wouldn't use it on fiberglass. Stick to wax. Use this stuff on dashes and vinyl or rubber.

Maybe it says that to get you to use more of it and buy more(?) I love the stuff and it is the only brand I use on my vinyl.

I have used it on the sides of my boat before. It took a lot of rubbing to get the swirls out. The water did wipe right off when we were done boarding. It just doesn't take as much time as waxing.

I'd stick to using in on the fabric, which is what it was designed for. It's a "fabric protectant" so they may be streatching out the applications to boost sales.

I'd love people to buy our towers for Truck Roll Bars and Kids Playsets but dont think we'll be marketing them as such.

It can be found at West Marine or Camping World. Both are good sources. Seems that this stuff never goes on sale and it is quit expensive.
I think it leaves an oily film on gelcoat so, I would stick to wax.

Suggest using Fantastik for cleaning and then 303 for UV protection.

I don't know about the othor manufactures....but Nautiques does not recomend that you use a UV protectant....or at least thats what my dealer told me....

at the nautique owners reunion, they gave small bottles of 303 away. Question

I'm pretty shure that they dont recomend using a UV protectant on the new models, beacuse they are allready have a special UV coat on them....maybe useing a UV Protectant breaks down that coat....I dont know thats just what Pacific Nautiques told me....

303 is fine to use on Prefix treated vinyl. If I were you I would use the stuff liberally to protect things and make it feel more supple (which is definitely needed).
