So curious, is the UV, Mariana, the bottle Dave showed us all the same substance? Then why the labeling? Seems like that would cost 303 more dollars, for same product? ???
I asked the same question and got no response. I guess some genius in marketing thought it was a good idea but it just confuses people, myself included. :crazy:

It's possible they don't market for those that are searching specifically for it, but instead market for the shelf/end cap display (old school thinking). In a marina, they want it to jump out to boat owners vs. an auto supply store, jump out as a good protecant for the car, etc.

Confusing to the googlers, not to the in-store shoppers that didn't know it even existed until it caught their eye to throw it in the cart when they are already in the store for something else.

Mack, I bought the standard UV protection stuff. The company has changed the packaging from the blue bottle to a white one on that also. Of course it has less in it for the same price. It threw me off when I first saw the bottle.

If you can't find it online or locally, maybe if you know an astronaut you could have him bring you some home from the space station. ;o)

Much appreciated.. went into local AutoZone.. they were out of stock ?(reoccurring nightmare in this crap-state) . But they did say it had a white bottle lol.

I did look at their website under the FAQ section. Someone asked this same question.

Q: What is the difference between the 303 Aerospace Protectant, 303 Automotive Protectant and 303 Marine & Recreational Protectant?

A:The label (marine, automotive, patio, etc.) varies depending on which market you find it in. The protectant formula is the same featuring the product benefits and mode of application. So whichever item (label) you get will be a great choice!

Thanks ?? Dave .. out here though most things keep getting “out of stock” labeled .. it’s getting bad. I hope I can find one of the three soon. ?

I know you don't like to order stuff online but Gold Eagle is very good about shipping stuff out quickly. You could buy the Holiday bundle and the Aerospace Protectant and it should be enough for free shipping.

You can get 303 in a gallon container for $59.00 on Amazon, free shipping, and here in Va I get it next day. Thats the way I've been buying for several years as I have 2 vehicles and the rv to take care of. Its the only protectant I use now.
Sorry Dave, but Amazon beats Gold Eagle by $30.00 for a gallon...

That's crazy, I always get my orders within 3-4 days from them. I hate to say it Mack but you just have bad luck ordering stuff online. ?

It works great on the tonneau cover and the plastic on the top of the bed rails too.

Used it on the tonneau cover and rails. Came out great! What do you use on tire side walls? Anything special on the rims?
