Hmmm... I've used Armor All from spray bottles in the past and never had any shine or residue problems. But I always wiped-off all the excess.

Armor All has always been questionable

I learned about the 303 Aerospace stuff here and really like it

Jumping on the 303 wagon here. I recently started using their products (and some Chemical Guys polish and wax) on a new to me "fun" vehicle. I'm pretty impressed with the results so far.

I've been meaning to post some pics, I just haven't gotten to that yet.

I still use Armor All only because I have at least a quart of it. But I use it so rarely that I'll have it until the next century.

more 303 fandom.
303 Aerospace Protectant and other products for years.
for car paint/exterior.
nothing replaced Turtle Wax ICE Seal N Shine. i tried their 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating. lasts a bit longer and doesn't streak as much.

Never liked ArmorAll products, nor any others that leave a greasy/shiny finish.

The last 3 cars I've bought, I told the salesman to instruct the detail crew to not put any of that stuff on the car or I'd refuse delivery, tireshine in particular.

I use the cleaner wipes and they work well for me. I'm not even remotely concerned with having a showroom finish on the interior of my truck, so the occasional wipe down with an Armor All cleaner wipe is a cheap and easy way to get rid of the dust.

I've considered some better stuff for my Mustang though as it's 54 years old and I'd like to keep it looking nice. I may look into the 303 stuff.

That’s the one tatortodd. I think the new bottle is blue. Before that it was in a white bottle.

Great stuff.

I had always heard that "Armor All will makes your tires and dashboard crack" or was that just an urban legend?

I stopped using armor all years ago. I have been using Optimum No Rinse for exterior and interior for the last 2 years and really like it. It's so versatile you can use it for almost everything on your car, paint, plastic, glass, and wheels. I use Meguiar's for leather.

I'm still using the 303 in the white bottle. Bought plenty when they had a sale. Stuff lasts. Use it on tires too.

I guess I'm weird, I use Invisible Glass Wipes on my windows (safe for tint) and when I'm done with the windows, I wipe down the dash with it. Then I will do the 303.

Amen Chowser! I get every drop I can squeeze out of great products! I also jumped on that sale when they went Blue bottle.

I like their Spray Wax also.

303 has confirmed that it's the exact same formula in the white bottle (Aerospace) and blue bottle (automotive). They don't say this, but they charge an extra $1 for the white 16 oz bottle vs blue 16 oz bottle which I surmise is because of the word aerospace.

Hahaha, I love capitalism! What’s a buck for the use of aerospace?! “yeah baby! Yeah!”

I have concerns about using 303 for tinted windows. It doesn't say it is safe to use on Tinted glass.

I'm assuming you meant inadvertantly putting on your glass. If not, use automotive glass cleaner (i.e. ammonia free) on your glass not 303.

Tip #1 - spray 303 on to your microfiber rather than the dash which will greatly reduce the chance of any on glass

Tip #2 - the suggested order for interior detailing is vacuuming first, everything else (e.g. 303), and interior glass last. Following that order then 303 won't be on long.

+1 on this stuff.

I have been using Lexol Vinylex, but I just looked and evidently it's been discontinued. It has worked great. When it runs out I guess it's 303 time.
