    Heard a radio commercial and saw it at Oreilly's Auto. Also saw a video that looks intersting. Price is reasonable. Also like their interior protectants.20190611_185806.jpg

    Thoughts? Experiences?

    Reading about it, it sounds like hydro2 from carpro or hydro blue from McKees. Spray on a wet car and after a very short dwell time, spray off with a strong stream of water. Followed by a good drying. What could be easier? If you can get it at $16 a bottle them I'd try it, I say that because I bet a bottle will last maybe 2 vehicles total. Definitely worth a shot.
    The products that flank the 303 in that pic are also very good. But they go on a clean and dry car, spray on, buff off. All 3 should give 3-6 months of protection

    Picked up some 303 Sealant and a Mothers Speed Clay 2.0 today. Had some me time this evening and wanted to give the Silver Bullet a fresh finish.

    Having never clay bar'd before the Mothers seemed like the easiest product on the shelf, instead of a mitt. Washed truck basically twice then used the Speed Clay as directed, using fresh soap bucket for lubrication. It wasn't difficult, just took a bit of time. When finished did a quick wash again, getting any clay residue off.

    Then started on the roof with the sealant, hood, sides, then tailgate. When at first sprayed on there is nothing to see, when it is sprayed off the Beading begins almost instantly. Then that area is sealed and some awesome beading to be proud of. :) The beading is very impressive. The water on the doors and bed sides couldn't drain off quick enough. The new feel of the wet beads was not what I expected; it was not slick like when a wax is used. But as I dried it there was a slickness that you cannot feel when its wet. (Thinking a wet waxed finished is not slick either.) I used probably 60-70% of the sealant bottle, may have overused a bit. It may be hard to get two trucks/SUV's done with one bottle as @Pudge mentioned. Thinking I will just use the rest when the beading starts to subside. The price isn't bad at $17; thinking really good value.

    Damn that looks great. I use hydro2 from carpro when I wanna do this spray on spray off method. It's pretty expensive but I love it. This 303 probably ends up being cheaper especially sub $20 per bottle. Cheaper than hydro2 or hydro blue. If it lasts 3-6 months then you have a pretty damn good deal. The ease of use sounds great, I know one thing with hydro2 is you have to get the car dried really quickly and well or itll get bad spots, and another is the car can not be hot at all or in the sun, or even have been in the sun recently.

    I really don’t think it is used like that. Not being smart. They use it all the time in line for the cars to go up on actions. And they have said the cars are clean and they use it as a touch up to get dust and prints off the car. There is two major auctions on the tube but I can’t remember which one uses it, they are on the line every time using it with out fail. I think you would have been better off just waxing it, don’t think it will last that long. Glad you did though I have had a bottle in the garage for a year and to afraid to use it!!:)

    I believe you are describing a "Quick Detailer" or spray on wax. There are a few good ones out there. This 303 product is a sealant and activates with the water and has to be applied that way. This is a fairly new product.

    Thanks!
    Both the Speed Clay and the 303 recommend using out of direct sunlight and on cool surface as well.

I try not to miss any of those two auctions it’s the only time I can set and cuss myself for giving away about a half dozen cars that are worth lots and lots of money!! So I see that dang blue bottle every time:)Poof!!! Probably the detailer...
