1. Start a f150online.com gallery by clicking HERE.

2. Upload the photographs that you have to the gallery by choosing UPLOAD PHOTOS once you have created an album.

3. Once uploaded, view the gallery. Within the gallery, there is a link on the right hand side of the page (once you have clicked on an individual photo) named FORUM CODES. Click the FORUM CODES link and a text box will pop up that has the text that you need to copy and paste in to get the picture (either in full size or thumbnail size) to appear.

here it is taped up 50/50



here is the contrast. left side is an untreated piece that has not been treated in 2 years. right side is 303. you can see that the left side is faded and has some white chalky residue on it.

i also performed the test on the bed side tie downs with great results. these also have not been treated for 2 years and have become faded worst than any other plastics on the truck.

you have to get it at specialty shops like boat stores or RV stores. if you go to their website you can do a store locater and see if there are any stores that carry it in your area or anything near your city.

no problem guys. i swear by this stuff. and when i saw the effects on the previous post, i just had to chime in. although i dont think that the product will last the full 3 months but as for the trim its the best thing that i have come by.

Good job.

Thanks for the test. I wonder if the 303 has some sort of cleaning effect or if it is actually absorbing into the material to produce the darkening.

I have to say that I am somewhat surprised by your results after seeing what rustyzipper's test results were.

The treated areas of your parts still look great.
