    If anyone has a tonneau cover for their truck this stuff is amazing. Brought the faded cover back to life. *Bonus if you own an RV it also does a great job at protecting your awning as well, that being said not sure how it does on an auto awning as I don't have any experience. But I'm sure it will yield great results.

    About to head to Walmart to pick up all the supplies to try this method on the glass. Just have to do the interior. Ugh I hate doing the interior.

    I just used this product on our faded chalky looking green utility box in the front yard. Our house faces south, so constant sun. Brought the box back to a nice dark green color…..Looks brand new! Good stuff for sure!

    No. No just the outside. Haha. I have tint. I'm pretty sure it would destroy the tint.

    Plastidip fades worse

    303 lasts a week or so then it's like you never even applied it. Nice while it lasts though. Better for interior stuff.

    I used it early on in my detailing life. I don’t remember how well it did. I can only assume I didn’t like it much since I never used it again. A lot of people swear by it though, so I may be wrong.

    Am I the only guy that details and waxes his riding mower?

    Since we’re on the subject the subject, Beadmaker makes a Roomba look fantastic, and Reload makes a washer and dryer look gorgeous.

    No....you're not the only one one who details the lawn mower. I used it for practice when I got my GG6.

    I used it a lot. Definitely a good product but horrible longevity. I do use it on my boat a lot but its also covered most of the time.
    I have to say that I really like 303 fabric guard. It's very water repellent and seems to offer good UV protection for things like grill covers, outdoor furniture, boat covers....its not cheap but it works great. I apply in spring and fall.

    I dont have much in way of it catching on something. Did notice a couple spots you have to be a little more careful around, but overall it was amazing. I did wash it after as directed and hung it to let it dry. I'll have to check it this evening to see how that went.
