+1 for 303. Been using it since 2008 when i bought my first s2000. Initially bought 303 for the soft top reconditioning and started using it to moisturize the rubbers

Anyway, the 303's decent enough I guess...not looking for a shine, prefer a satin which it pretty much is. My main concern is UV protection from the brutal Texas mid-summer sun which it supposedly does. There's so little black trim on the G37 Coupe this bottle will last me the life of the car. Seems to work better on textured plastic than the smooth stuff where it can get streaky by using too much. It's a pain to get off the glass but I'd guess most products like this are.

Before...completely matte finish, slightly off black. Can really see this part fading over time if not treated.

Drove the car into the cool garage to apply so it's not the same light.

So just an update. Been raining cats and dogs for the past few days and this stuff beads water like nobody's business. I bought it for UV protection so only time will tell how well it protects and keeps the black parts from fading.

A couple of days ad I tried Armorall extreme tire gel on the faded trim on my '07 FX35.
I haven't touched the trim in a decade.
It actually looks great. It's held up well for the short period it's been on.
It actually looks better than the back-to-black I used on my kid's '13 Juke.

I'll probably keep using it for a while.
