303 For Tires?

I've searched around a bit, but I haven't found a real clear answer. How does 303 compare to other tire dressings? All of these questions are vs. other tire products.

How good does it make the tires look?

How easy is it to use?

How long does it last?

Does it make cleaning the tire easier?

Thanks for your input!

303 is ok, not great. I still use it though. Then again I use it for everything I spray it on my rims too as it helps clean and repel brake dust.

I think 303 is very easy to use, I apply it with Eagle One tire dressing applicators, those little square things with a half circle cut out of them that goes around the tire profile. I like 303, though it doesn't produce a shine as much as some other products might, it's a nice black color and it should protect the tire themselves from UV fading over time if used regularly. And you can use it on all the interior seats, dash, and rubber moldings. Here is a pic of my car with 303 on the tires (and Klasse/Sonus on the car)

Thats the great thing about 303, it does everything. And its gentle...so you dont have to worry about any particular materials. I use it on my leather, vynol and plastic inside the car. And my tires and rims outside the car.

Its like SPF-50 for your car

I got the full Zaino kit, so I have a bottle of Zaino tire stuff. I have four tires, so there's a Zaino vs. 303 experiment coming up soon!

I've been using Armor all for the last 4 or 5 months. I was using 3M before that. The Armor all has a nice sheen to it, and it's not gunky like some other tire dressings. Doesn't leave messy brown crap all over your wheels either if you happen to get it on them. I've used vinylex and 303 in the past as well, Armor All seems to hold up better than either, as far as I can tell. But I redo my wheels every time I wash my car anyway, so, it never goes more than a week without a reapply.

Homer2: You're a Zaino distributor and you don't use Zaino Tire Gloss? That says a lot. Any particular reason?
