Anything besides 303 for gaskets?

Post by perspective7 » Wed Mar 27, 2013 12:38 pm

I can't find any 303 locally and it is used by lots of people for a vehicle protectant...so my question...is there a cheap protectant that does the same thing as 303 without damaging your gaskets. Armor-all, Black-magic..or any of the other 200 brands of stuff they have out there. I used to use Black Magic on my vehicles but it leaves everything pretty slick, which would make putting your suit on easier just like after I apply 303.

I'm not sure what locally means but OOO carries it and Amazon can have it here in two days with free shipping if you have a Prime account.

Wally World sometimes carries it in the marine section. Or boat dealers sell it to put on boat seats

Thanx! Never thought of looking at Ace...there's one right down the road from me. I ended up buying some Pep Boys brand stuff and it seems to be about the same looking stuff as 303. Did all my gaskets and it does about the same thing and it was about five bucks...but I'll check out Ace cuz it's the place! :crazy:

Yeah, I checked out WalMart and several car parts stores first. Ace was on my way to my nearest marine supply store. What substitute did you get? I know that Armorall sure isn't the same as 303. At least in how it works on my canoe hulls and truck floor mats. I forget what I paid for the 303, but it wasn't cheap. It does go a long way when used as directed though.
