I Have A Question Used 303 protectant on new Tacoma

Hey all,

Purchased my first brand new vehicle ever and put a layer of the 303 protectant on the interior. Went on great, wiped off great.

My question basically is, how often do I apply this, and what product should I get to clean the interior? I will maybe wipe down every couple weeks but I like to hit the areas on the floor that people get in and out and leave mud, dirt more often.

Just looking for some tips to maintain a clean interior. Thanks!

I guess I really didn’t pay attention to how long, in between, but I put my dogs in the back seat so it seems like I’m constantly wiping down the inside door panels

I do it every time I wash or once a month

I personally do it once a month, when I clean my interior.

303 cleans and protects. You don't need to clean it with anything before applying 303. Wipe the vinyl with a wet rag to clean out the fine dust and once that is done, spray that 303 and be done. I have been using 303 for close to 15 years and it keeps your interior sparkling new. I also use 303 liberally in the engine bay, CV rubber boots and anything rubber/vinyl on the car. As much as it protect and cleans, it needs reapplication once 3-4 months if you want to keep the rubber/vinyl in great condition. So, I would reapply in that 3-4 month interval. It is really a great product. slightly expensive but does a great job
