303 Aerospace Protectant Wipes

303 Products are highly innovative and technologically advanced. You are a selective consumer and appreciate quality; that’s why 303 Products are certain to meet your standards. You’ll love how easy it is to care for your vinyl convertible top with 303 products; the brand most recommended by leading manufacturers of convertible tops. Here are features of 303 Aerospace Protectant that will surely benefit your life:

Unbeatable UV protection. 303 Aerospace Protectant has a SPF of 40, the most UV protection offered by any surface protectant. It will prevent drying, cracking, and fading caused by overexposure to the sun. It was originally formulated for aerospace and aviation applications, machines that come much closer to the sun than your vehicle. 303 Aerospace Protectant is the single most effective protectant on the market.

Stain resistant. 303 Aerospace Protectant repels water and dirt, and resists stains. Treated surfaces require less cleaning and will remain in like-new condition. It restores the original finish to vinyl, rubber, plastic, acrylic, finished leather, and fiberglass. 303 is never oily or greasy.

Multipurpose. Use 303 Aerospace Protectant on vinyl convertible tops, vinyl seats, tonneau covers, car bras, vinyl awnings, dashboard, trim pieces, and all over your boat. It is safe on vinyl, rubber, plastic, acrylic, finished leather, and fiberglass. 303 Aerospace Protectant provides the best protection you can provide for a multitude of materials. Nothing works better on clear plastic to prevent yellowing, hardening, and clouding.


303 Aerospace Protectant Wipes are effective on many surfaces including teak and iron.

Most recommended by manufacturers. 303 Aerospace Protectant is recommended by name by more manufacturers of awnings, RVs, tonneau covers, vinyl convertible tops, and spa covers than any other protectant in the world.

I thought it would be fun to include a “Did You Know” section on 303 Aerospace Protectant.

“Did you know?”

• Did you know that Orvis, America’s Oldest Mail Order Company since 1856, has used 303 Aerospace Protectant as a fly line dressing since 1987?

IceDozer Plus Ergonomic Ice Scraper

IceDozer Plus Ergonomic Ice Scraper

The IceDozer Plus Ergonomic Ice Scraper is a heavy duty ice remover that plows through heavy snow and ice like a bulldozer. The innovative design is part snow plow, part ice scraper, part snow brush. Use the IceDozer Plus Ergonomic Ice Scraper this winter to clear your car quickly.

The IceDozer Plus Ergonomic Ice Scraper is built to clear thick ice and snow with equal ease. The FlexiBlade automatically adjusts to the curvature of your vehicle’s windshield, so no ice goes unmoved. You can clear the windshield faster because the FlexiBlade clears a wide path with each pass.

The snow plow feature pushes piles of snow off the windshield easily. An ergonomic PowerGrip in the front of the IceDozer Plus enables you to really put some power behind your push without exerting much effort. But that’s just one of the grips on this ice scraper. The IceDozer Plus also has a back saw handle grip, which keeps you clear of any ice or snow, and the strut grip, which gives you extra leverage when you need it.

 

The Ice Notch cleans ice and snow off wiper blades.
The IceDozer Plus is shown here fully assembled. The brush can be removed for scraping mirrors.
The brush attachment that sits atop the snow plow is used for brushing snow and broken ice from the vehicle. The brush can be removed if needed for better access to the scraper blade located just beneath it. The removable brush has a scraper blade as well, which can be used to clear rearview mirrors and other hard-to-reach areas. The brush on the IceDozer Plus whisks away loose snow and ice.
The IceDozer Plus can be used as a scraper or a snow brush.

This scraper blade is used for your thicker, more stubborn ice. The IceDozer Plus even features Tenderizers to break up thick ice so you can scrape it away. All the scraping surfaces of the IceDozer Plus are safe on auto glass.

As if all that weren’t reason enough to get an IceDozer Plus, it has something no other ice scraper has: an Ice Notch. Slide your windshield wiper blades through the Ice Notch to remove snow and ice in an instant.

If you spend too much time clearing snow and ice from your vehicle every winter, get the IceDozer Plus Ergonomic Ice Scraper. It’s the only ice scraper that has multiple blades, a removable brush, and an Ice Notch for wiper blades.
