Expert Notes

303 Automotive Speed Detailer is a 473ml quick detailer from Gold Eagle's 303 range, made for upkeep between washes. It lifts light dust, dirt, fingerprints and smudges from paint, plastics, fibreglass, gel-coat, aluminium, chrome, stainless steel and glass, then wipes dry with no streaking or hazing. The anti-static formula repels dust, dirt and stains, and its UV blockers give up to 30 days of UV protection, according to 303. It is a sensible bottle to keep in the boot for weekly touch-ups, and 303 confirms it can be used over a ceramic coated finish. Pair it with a gentle car shampoo for full washes and a stack of clean, plush microfibre towels, and always work on a cool, dry panel out of direct sunlight.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted bodywork
  • Ceramic coated paint
  • Exterior plastics
  • Fibreglass and gel-coat
  • Aluminium
  • Chrome
  • Stainless steel
  • Glass

Caution: Use only on a cool, dry surface out of direct sunlight. Heavy dirt and grit need a full wash first, as wiping them can mark the paint.

How To Use

Application

  1. Make sure the surface is cool, dry and out of direct sunlight before you start.
  2. Shake the bottle well before use.
  3. Mist the detailer directly onto one section at a time, such as half a bonnet or a single door.
  4. Wipe the section with a clean, dry microfibre towel to spread the product.
  5. Buff the section to a high gloss with a second clean, dry microfibre towel.
  6. Move on to the next section and repeat until the car is done.

Aftercare

  1. Use it between washes to remove light dust, fingerprints and smudges.
  2. Give the car a proper wash whenever it is heavily soiled rather than detailing over the dirt.
  3. Wash used microfibre towels separately and without fabric softener so they stay absorbent.
  4. Keep a dedicated towel for glass so bodywork residue is not spread onto the windows.
  5. Store the bottle upright and capped, away from direct sunlight and frost.

Top Tip: Keep two clean microfibre towels to hand: one to spread the product and a dry one for the final buff.

  • Lifts light dust and fingerprints

The Brand

303

303 is an American surface protection brand that has been a trusted name in its field since 1980. Its protectant was first developed to protect aircraft rubber wing boots at high altitude, and the formulas now care for cars, boats, RVs and outdoor gear. Since 2012, 303 has belonged to Gold Eagle Co., the Chicago company behind STA-BIL, which says its branded products, 303 included, are manufactured in the United States at its facilities in Chicago. The brand line is Proven to Protect.

At The Drivers HQ we stock 303 online with UK delivery and in our Ilkeston shop. Popular choices include 303 Aerospace Protectant, the Automotive Speed Detailer and the Slick Shine Ceramic Detailer.

303 protectants, trim and leather care

Aerospace Protectant. The product 303 is known for, in 296ml, 473ml and 946ml. 303 describes it as a water-based formula with no petroleum distillates, alcohol, mineral oil or harmful silicone oils, which dries to a clear matte finish, blocks UV to help stop fading and cracking, and repels dust and stains. It suits vinyl, plastic, rubber, finished leather and fibreglass, but not clear plastics, suede, fabrics, flooring, gauge panels or headlights. Spray it onto a clean, dry surface out of direct sun and wipe it completely dry, because it does not air dry; 303 says to reapply every 30 to 45 days. The same protection comes as Automotive Protectant 473ml and in a tub of 25 Protectant Wipes.

Trim, seals and tyres. Rubber Seal Protectant comes in a 101ml bottle with an applicator for door, window, bonnet and boot seals, and helps them keep their elasticity. Graphene Trim Coating is a non-greasy coating for faded trim that 303 rates at up to 6 months, and Tyre Coating & Protectant is a water-based, sling-free aerosol that dries to a satin shine with no brush needed.

Leather. A two-step system: Leather Cleaner lifts stains and preps the surface, then Leather Conditioner softens the leather and adds UV protection that 303 rates at 30 days. Both suit finished and unfinished leather.

Fabric and stains. Multi-Surface Cleaner removes spots of coffee, oil, grease and ink from water-safe surfaces, and Mold & Mildew Cleaner + Blocker removes mould stains without bleach. Fabric Guard restores water and stain repellency to outdoor fabrics, such as a convertible roof's seams, and is not for interior fabrics.

303 detailers, coatings and wheel cleaners

Between washes. The Automotive Speed Detailer is mist-on, wipe-off gloss for paint, plastics, fibreglass, chrome and glass, with anti-static properties and UV blockers. The Slick Shine Ceramic Detailer is infused with SiO2 and carnauba wax, works on wet paint as a drying aid or on dry paint, and is safe on matte paint. The Graphene Detailer tops up existing coatings, works wet or dry and lasts up to 90 days, and the Automotive Spray Wax cleans off water spots and dust and leaves protection rated at up to 90 days.

Coating. Graphene Nano Spray Coating is a graphene oxide based spray coating that 303 rates at 12 months. It is strongly hydrophobic, helps reduce water spots by lowering the surface temperature, can be applied in direct sunlight and also goes on glass, wheels and trim.

Wheels. Wheel & Tire Cleaner is a foaming, acid-free and non-corrosive cleaner for wheels and tyres: spray onto cool, rinsed surfaces, leave for 2 minutes, agitate and rinse. Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner is acid free too, removes brake dust and caked-on dirt, and also works as a paint decontamination spray for embedded fallout before polishing.
