Heritage & History
303 Products began in 1980 with a specific aerospace engineering challenge: how to protect the rubber wing boots on aircraft from the harsh UV exposure and ozone degradation encountered at altitude. The solution was a formulation so effective at protecting rubber and vinyl surfaces that demand quickly extended far beyond aviation into the automotive, marine, and recreational vehicle markets.
Now part of Gold Eagle Co. — the Chicago-based producer of STA-BIL fuel stabilizer and other car care products — 303 Products has maintained its Made in USA manufacturing and its reputation for performance that exceeds anything else available for UV protection of vinyl, plastic, and rubber surfaces.
Made in the USA for Aerospace Standards
303 Aerospace Protectant has earned its position as the go-to UV protectant for serious detailers and boat owners precisely because it was engineered to aerospace specifications rather than consumer-product economics. The formulation protects surfaces against UV radiation — the primary cause of fading, cracking, and embrittlement in vinyl dashboards, convertible tops, boat upholstery, and rubber seals.
Unlike silicone-based protectants that leave a greasy shine and attract dust, 303 Aerospace Protectant dries to a clean matte finish that repels dust, dirt, and staining. The Automotive Protectant formulation is optimized for interior and exterior car surfaces, while the Fabric Guard restores durable water repellency to outdoor fabrics. Both products are made in the USA and backed by the same aerospace engineering pedigree as the original aviation product.
