Full Description

303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating is a Graphene Oxide-based coating that provides high levels of protection for 12 months.

This spray coating has substantial hydrophobic properties that stop water dwelling on your paint, plus it reduces the amount of water spots by reducing the surface temperature.

In addition to providing long-lasting protection, the carbon polymers enhance gloss and the clarity of your paintwork.

This spray coating combines durability and protection with simple ease-of-use.

The product can also be applied in direct sunlight. Applying it in direct sunlight can even make the application process easier, as the heat helps the product cure faster.

303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating is not just for paintwork, it is extremely effective on the following surfaces:

Paint: Coats and protects the paint from scratches leaving a hard layer of protection

Glass: Protects glass from chips and cracks, repels water while driving

Wheels: Repels brake dust and helps keep your wheels looking clean (use an applicator to apply product to wheels)

Trim: Preserves and protects plastic

Expert Notes

303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating is a graphene oxide based spray coating that 303 rates for up to 12 months of protection. It has a high water contact angle, lowers surface temperature to reduce hard water spotting and leaves enhanced gloss and clarity. It suits enthusiasts who want coating-style protection from a spray: it can go on in direct sunlight or on black paint, it layers over existing wax, sealant or coatings, and it needs no cure time before water once buffed. Use it on paint, glass, wheels, trim, chrome and vinyl wraps, but not tyres, with up to three layers. Pair it with a regular car shampoo, a foam applicator and microfibre towels kept for coating work.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted bodywork
  • Exterior glass
  • Wheels
  • Exterior plastic trim
  • Chrome
  • Vinyl wraps
  • Over existing waxes, sealants and coatings

Caution: Not recommended for tyres: wipe off any overspray that lands on them. Apply to clean, dry surfaces and do not let product harden on towels.

How To Use

Application

  1. Wash the vehicle and make sure the paint is clean and dry.
  2. Correct the paint first only if you want to, as 303 states the coating bonds without it.
  3. Spray onto a microfibre or foam applicator.
  4. Spread it over the panel in a crisscross pattern for complete coverage.
  5. Let it cure until it hazes white, then buff off with a clean, dry microfibre towel.
  6. Use an applicator on wheels and buff off in the same way.
  7. Add up to three layers, as 303 finds more than three adds no further value.

Aftercare

  1. No cure time is needed after buffing before the car meets water.
  2. Wash with a regular car shampoo or a wash and wax product.
  3. Avoid decontamination wash products, which can remove the coating.
  4. Wash used towels promptly and keep them separate from your other detailing towels.
  5. Top up with a fresh layer when water no longer sheds quickly from the paint.

Top Tip: Work one panel at a time and check each one in good light for missed high spots before moving on.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating last?

303 states it provides a high level of protection for up to 12 months. Washing with a regular car shampoo and avoiding decontamination wash products helps it last.

Is it made with graphene or graphene oxide?

It is made with graphene oxide. 303 explains that the hydrogen bonding in graphene oxide helps the material orientate itself and bond to exterior surfaces.

Can I apply it in direct sunlight?

Yes, it can be applied in direct sunlight and on black paint. The heat can make application easier because it helps the product cure faster.

Do I need to polish or decontaminate first?

No, 303 states it bonds without prior paint correction or decontamination, though the paint must be clean and dry. Correct the paint first only if you want defects removed before protecting it.

Can I use it over an existing wax, sealant or coating?

Yes, 303 states there is no need to remove existing coatings, waxes or sealants, and it can be layered on top of a coating without harming the layer underneath.

Which surfaces can I use it on?

It can be used on paint, glass, trim, chrome, wheels and vinyl wraps. It is not recommended for tyres, so wipe off any overspray that reaches them.

How many layers should I apply?

Up to three. 303 found that four or more layers give the same value as three.

Does it need time to cure before rain?

No, once it has been buffed off, no cure time is needed before the car is exposed to water.

The Brand

303

303 is a surface protection brand whose story began in 1980, when its founder saw that the aviation and aerospace industry needed a treatment to protect rubber and plastics against UV and ozone degradation. Its flagship Aerospace Protectant was originally engineered to protect aircraft rubber wing boots at high altitudes, and the range now covers protectants and cleaners for everything from cars and boats to outdoor furniture and gear. Since 2012, 303 has been part of Gold Eagle Co., the Chicago company behind STA-BIL, and the brand describes its products as Proven to Protect.

The Drivers HQ stocks 303 for the inside and outside of the car. Plastic, vinyl and rubber protection comes from Aerospace Protectant and Protectant Wipes. For paintwork there are the Automotive Speed Detailer and the Slick Shine Ceramic Detailer, and the Wheel & Tire Cleaner takes care of the wheels and tyres. Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner look after leather, and Multi-Surface Cleaner tackles stains.

303 suits drivers who want protection that is easy to apply, as well as detailers finishing off a full valet. After the wash, a quick detailer such as Speed Detailer or Slick Shine adds gloss and keeps the finish fresh between washes. Protectant then goes onto clean, dry dashboards, trim, tyres and seals, and 303 says it dries to a clean, matte finish with no slick residue. The leather cleaner and conditioner suit cars with leather seats.

303 Aerospace Protectant (3 Sizes) - The Drivers HQ

From Aircraft Wing Boots to Cars

303 traces its story back to 1980. In Gold Eagle's announcement of the acquisition, the company explains that founder Dennis A. Praegitzer recognised that the aviation and aerospace industry needed something that did not exist: a protective chemical treatment for rubber and plastics that actually protected against UV and ozone degradation.

That need produced the product 303 still calls its flagship. The brand says Aerospace Protectant was originally engineered to protect aircraft rubber wing boots at high altitudes, and it describes today's formula as water-based and silicone-free, drying to a clear matte finish with no greasy film. The same UV protection is now used on dashboards, convertible tops, tyres and trim, as well as boat seats and patio furniture.

In 2012 Gold Eagle Co., the Chicago company behind STA-BIL, acquired 303 Products, and 303 is now presented on Gold Eagle's website alongside its other brands. The brand says its formulations undergo rigorous internal testing and have built over 40 years of field-tested trust, and it sums up its range with the line Proven to Protect.

Protectants, Coatings and Fabric Care

303 describes Automotive Protectant as delivering UV protection for a vehicle's rubber, vinyl and plastic surfaces, whether that is the dashboard, trim, tyres or weather seals. It dries to a clean matte finish and repels dust, dirt and stains, and the brand says one application gives protection for up to 30 to 45 days. 303 also stresses buffing it dry with a clean towel, because the product does not air dry.

For paintwork, 303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating is a graphene oxide based coating that the brand says protects for up to 12 months and lowers surface temperature to reduce hard water spots. It bonds without prior paint correction or decontamination, can be applied in direct sunlight and works on glass, wheels and trim as well as paint. Between washes, 303 Automotive Speed Detailer adds gloss, with anti-static properties and UV blockers in its formula.

303 Fabric Guard restores lost water and stain repellency to outdoor fabrics, and 303 says it is recommended by Sunbrella, the outdoor fabric manufacturer. On a car, the brand suggests spraying it on a convertible top's seams to prevent wicking, and it does not recommend it for a vehicle's interior fabrics. The Drivers HQ stocks 303 Multi-Surface Cleaner, which the brand says removes stubborn spots from coffee, oil, grease and ink, and the leather care products for the cabin.
