sounds like I maybe taking it to the extreme however I am just like thatAbsolutely the best stuff on the planet! My 1993 Mariah boat looks like new. I use it on the fiberglass and upolstry. An independent lab tested it a few years ago and said it was the only stuff on the market that actually protected what you applied it to. Widely used in the RV and boating industry.
Anyone use 303 Protectant? I have heard great things about it.
Just curious how does a co-worker "play" on your bike?

Wow I have 4 grandkids (steps 2-7.....I am 29) and they always wanna sit on papas bike......I swear I didnt know about "4-ways) till the rats turned em on for me to find later .
303 comes highly recommended by many sources. I just started using it on my Cycle Shell http://www.cycleshell.com/ because they recommended it. Too soon to know anything, but will let you know in 5 years or so
Which 303 product do you use on the cycle shell?
Well, now that IS a discussion. I simply could not get anyone to tell me which. I bought a GALLON of the stuff from Amazon labeled "303 Aerospace Protectant". They sell something else for fabric called "303 High Tech Fabric Guard), but the Cycle Shell is supposed to be vinyl coated fibers or outer, so this seemed like it was the right stuff.
I used a high-volume hand spray bottle. It went on easy, although it did seem to absorb it some. Wiped off the (little) excess per the instructions. It dried pretty quickly, it did not discolor or stain. I tested after and it is still water repelling. I used about 1/2 quart to cover the whole thing. I think the next time, it won't use quite as much.
It says on the instructions "Not for fabrics (canvas)" but this is not really a fabric nor canvas. I hope I am using the correct stuff. Only time well tell now...

Nothing! Just ride da **** out of the bike and sell it. Are you keeping it for life? If not, forget bout' it!
So since my last bike had little to no plastic on it, the first thing I noticed was the massive amounts of black plastic on my C14....I bought a cover and wondered if I should start covering it every day to try and keep the sun from killing it
In addition I bought some black magic plastic and vinyl treatment, suppose to work against UV rays, etc...just wondering what everyone else is using/doing to keep the black from drying out and becoming oxidized?
Also don't be afraid to off-road your bike, even in the extreme desert Tundra. That was AZ. ADV for the win
In Roswell tonight chasing aliens with my C14.
If my bike is going to be sitting in the hot sun for more than an hour, I put my nelson rigg uv 2000 cover on it. It's very reflective and keeps the bike cool plus it keeps prying eyes off it as well.
Not my bike but you get the idea.
