Gee Alan you and I should really get together for beers. I just

to the tires, and in fact had to wipe off the residue after I

I did this as other brands which make the tires black and shinning

last two days. I am not looking for looks as I am trying to stop

checking etc. So far so good. I used to work right next door

All" and I find their product applied correctly also work pretty

don't have a rubber roof, and that is why I got onto 303.

> Most people who don't apply it correctly, put on too much and don't

wipe it in. I have thought about waxing the roof, and I might get

results, and then again I might make the news as the guy who fell

RV while trying to make the roof shin.

As to the discussion on 303 protectant on tires, be advised that

do not apply it the way you do on fiberglass. On fiberglass, you

it on and immediately wipe it dry. You never want to let it air

because it will leave a sticy residue from all the polymer that

not bond to the surface, and that will attract dirt, run off in the > first rain and streak.

On tires, however, there is a big difference. Tires are somewhat > porous. As a result, the way to apply 303 to tires is to spray it

and, with a brush, spread it over all the rubber sidewall surface.
Once you have the sidewall fully covered, take a dry cloth and wipe > off any that got on the rims (again, if you don't it will form a > sticky residue collecting dust). Don't wipe the tires! >

Go away and do something else for 20 minutes or so. Come back, and > look at the tire. If it is not damp with the 303, spray and brush

again (remember to wipe dry the overspray on the rims.) Continue > doing this (it may take three times if the tire is dry) until you > notice the liquid is beading and not soaking it to the rubber. Once > that happens, spread it evenly, wait another 15 minutes to make

air dry on the tire.

right away, and you will not have to put but a small amount of it
